Gov. Charlie Crist held a news conference to react to Republican lawmakers' decision to leave a special session early without passing a constitutional ban on oil drilling.
So, numbnuts calls a special session, at a fairly substantial tax payer expense, to propose a constitutional amendment for the people to vote on. The amendment is to ban off shore drilling, which is already banned by state law. It's a ####ing joke, and everybody knows it. So today, the FL House basically says (in my words, not theirs) "It's a ####ing joke and everybody knows it", ending the special session after just 50 minutes, at an expense of 55 THOUSAND DOLLARS to the taxpayers.
Somehow, the Governor is surprised.
The speaker's opening remarks to the session is "Ladies and Gentleman, we are here today because of politics".
You can see Crist's post-backfire pity-party here.......
