Gov. Charlie Crist is really stretching the bounds of credulity these days. First he expects us to believe he didn't know President Barack Obama was in his own state last week. And now he claims not to have endorsed the administration's federal stimulus package. Here's an excerpt from his interview on CNN last night:
Wolf Blitzer: Let me interrupt for a second, Governor. For a second, do you have any regrets about endorsing the economic stimulus package?
Crist: Well, I didn't endorse it. I — you know, I didn't even have a vote on the darned thing. But I understood that it was going to pass and I wanted to be able to utilize it for the benefit of my fellow Floridians. Let me give you just one example of the difference that made. We would have had to let go of over 20,000 schoolteachers in Florida if we hadn't had that support. And, frankly, I kind of look at it like Florida taxpayers' dollars coming back to the state to benefit them.
Didn't endorse? Cue the videotape:
