Charlie Crist: Working Class Hero

Gov. Charlie Crist has been busy getting married, lavishly spending tax dollars in Europe and being invisible during the current legislative session. The Orlando Sentinel studied Crist's schedule to find out what he has been doing. It turns out not much.

"I'm never not governor," Crist said this week. "I have no days off. I'm working all the time." But a Sun Sentinel review of the governor's detailed schedules for the past two years found he had no events or appointments on 62 weekdays — the equivalent of three months. On 74 other weekdays — or nearly four months — his schedule shows him working only part of the day.

I wrote a post about Crist's less than stellar work ethic on July, 29, 2008. Nothing has changed. Crist doesn't care as long as he has high approval ratings.
