Gay-but-closeted Charlie Crist is leaving the GOP to run as an independent. Crist is Florida's popular, two-term one-term governor. He's running for an open U.S. Senate seat in what was supposed to be a walk—but then he went and hugged a black dude and drew a challenger from the white.

UPDATE: Crist, according to far-left-loony-liberal MSNBC commenter Pat Buchanan, had a "gay rights problem" going into the GOP primary. Somehow Crist had a "gay rights problem" despite his rabid opposition to gay rights, gay marriage, gay adoptions, etc. That's because even GOP primary voters, who tend to be older conservatives of the batshit variety, have rudimentary gaydar. So Crist married a real, live girl to mollify GOP primary voters who turned around and abandoned him anyway.

How's that pussy tasting now, Charlie?
