Florida Newscast Calls GOP the 'Reprehensive Party'


"The Florida GOP demanded Friday that a Miami NBC affiliate issue an on-air apology after the station referred to the party as 'the Reprehensive Party of Florida' in a broadcast," the Tampa Bay Times reports.

"The error surfaced when WTVJ aired a segment that featured a Republican Party web ad bashing Democratic candidate for governor Charlie Crist in an ad that accuses him of politically running away from Florida when the economy went south."

1. Damn right they should apologize...it's reprehensible...

not reprehensive.

[freshwest]

5. It's a new word, a combination of repressive and reprehensible...

[joeybee12]

6. They're the Sarah Palins of the South

[freshwest]

7. Oh, yeah. Did you see her rallies down South in the summer of 2008? Only thing missing was the robes

and the burning crosses. Even McCain was (but only half-heartedly) trying to cool her rhetoric. It brought back too many memories for me and I stopped watching all the coverage after that.

8. True, but I was thinking about her tendency to create new words...

And then claim they were ones that already existed.

9. I'm sure they already existed in her alternative reality. Hell! n/t

2. Tell it like it is.

Truth in journalism is so refreshing.

3. Well, As A Floridian I Can Only HOPE They'll

STAND THEIR GROUND!!! I will be voting for Crist myself. The last time I voted for him I caught all kinds of flak, but had Democrats voted for him back then, WE might not have had to look/listen to the likes of MARCO RUBIO!!

I've heard some grumbling from Dems here about Crist being a "johnny come lately" and they're not sure they trust him, but even when he was Governor the last time, I was very surprised at how moderate he was. Back then he was a Repuke!

But when he bucked the Repuke system here (Jebby Bush) et al and stood up to them by wanting to do things his way... well, they did more than throw him under the bus! This state needs a REALLY COME UPPENCE!

The "alien" Rick Scott is a disaster and a CROOK
