Lin Lavery managed to destroy her chances to be elected Greenwich first selectman by, a week before the election, putting out a mailer that in one page revealed her to be ignorant about the issue she was writing on, dead wrong on every single allegation contained thereon and provided proof that she was a shallow, petty person who refused to even acknowledge her errors when they were exposed. Goodbye, 10 point lead, hello, ignominy, all in 24 hours.
So that was dumb. But how about Florida’s Governor Crist who, when lawyer Scott Rothstein turned out to be running a Ponzi scheme and Russian money, claimed he “barely knew the guy” when he knew, or should have known, there were pictures out there proving different? Like, just for instance, this one, where the gov and Rotthstein appear together blowing out candles purchased by Rothstein for Crist’s campaign fund to the tune of $52,000? Now that’s really dumb. Lin should consider moving to Florida and running against Crist in the upcoming senate campaign. She could still claim to be smarter than he is.
Ah, who's gonna remember some dumb party?
This is actually good news for Florida Republicans because if Crist goes down (as well he should) it clears the way for Marco Rubio, a far better candidate.
