"Rick Scott to Black Students: But I Lived in Public Housing!

To his credit, Scott, clad in sweatpants, greeted the marchers outside his home. To his detriment, he decided to talk.

Apparently grasping for some common ground, Scott began his speech by reminding the protesters that he'd lived in public housing as a youngster. The Florida A&M marchers were less than pleased. "We're not poor!" one of them shouted back. Another, A&M student senate president Marissa West, told the Miami Herald that Scott's remarks offended her. "I guess he was trying to make some type of relation to our student body, as if we had lived in public housing," she said."

--------------------------------------------------

Scott would be clueless and offensive at a school board meeting - but it shows that if you spend 60 million to get elected and run in a state where elections supervisors are GOP operatives - you can elect you a ham sandwich.

4. I disagree.

There are also conservative psychopaths. They are the ones who program the conservative idiots.

2. Any chance that Scott's stupidity

could lead to gains for the Florida Dems in this year's legislative elections? Please tell me the majority of the voters down there aren't LIKING this shit.

3. Rick Scott's public housing = taxpayer funded governor's mansion.
