..."He left me a voice mail," Crist said Tuesday. "He encouraged me to sign the bill. Shocking."

The sarcasm dripping from Crist's voice is no accident.

Crist was very upset when Bush, in a live Fox TV appearance a couple of weeks ago, used the word "unforgivable" to describe Crist's enthusiastic support of federal economic stimulus money....

In his first comments on that subject, Crist said: "I thought it was unfortunate. The fundamental fairness of it wasn't right. I think it's unforgivable if somebody kills somebody. Unforgivable? Walk in my shoes now."

1. I'm impressed reading the comments

They are pretty much universal in their disdain for jebbie

2. You're right about the comments - I hadn't seen them

I agree with this one.

"Charlie has virtue on his side for this veto. He has popular support. He has political gain. I hope he takes this opportunity to draw a bit of personal satisfaction for sticking him thumb squarely in Jeb's eye."

3. Crist needs to veto SB6. Teachers and parents have been calling nonstop.

His number is 850-488-7146. Today the governor said he is not hearing from many parents only teachers.
