Wow. McCollum sticks up for Sink.

[The Backlash Cometh]

Probably the most cavalier thing that man has done in his entire political career.


TALLAHASSEE — Alex Sink’s attempt to rebut campaign allegations by Republican gubernatorial opponent Rick Scott that she fiddled while Florida’s investment portfolio burned was bolstered by an unlikely ally Tuesday: Florida Attorney General and former Scott foe Bill McCollum.

Days after Scott unleashed allegations that Sink was at fault for an investment freefall, Scott’s former Republican rival McCollum appeared to go out of his way Tuesday to steer the state’s top investment official to provide cover for the State Board of Administration’s investment oversight during the tumultuous years following the 2007 market crash.

In a series of questions, McCollum led SBA executive director Ash Williams down a path of questioning that sought to refute recent newspaper reports and a $1 million Scott ad campaign that paper losses in the state’s retirement and local investment funds were preventable and resulted in actual losses to retirees and local governments.

Williams obliged, and reiterated what the SBA has said all along – that the losses are so far only on paper because the state hasn’t generally sold securities at a loss.
