Crist forgot to mention the other note he left in the wall: "Please, God, don't let any stories about my homosexual lifestyle gain traction, at least until after my run for Senator in 2010. Oh, and please help me find a nice, accepting beard, er, woman to marry to provide political cover. Charlie."

Great! This is just the kind of cause-and-effect reasoning I want in charge of my healthcare and science policy...

Amazing. Even the ostensibly sane Republicans are really batshit crazy.

And God said, "Verily I will spare Florida, for you, Charlie Crist".

That's nice. Really, really nice. How sweet that Charlie's FAITH is so strong.

You know, Charlie, I'm from the midwest, I used to skydive at a DZ in Xenia. I've grown up seeing places all around me flattened. And now I hear you are saying, you fatuous ass, that Florida was spared hurricanes because your stuck some gods-damed litter in an old wall. A wall that, I may add, sure as hell didn't spare Israel or the Temple from being flattened by Rome.

Charlie, god didn't spare Florida because you prayed about it. And while we are at it, Charlie, if your prayers are so powerful, why didn't you pray for the people of Louisiana or Texas or India or Maylasia? Didn't you care about anyplace else, you bastardized POS?

I really find people like you, Charlie Crist, offensive and full of crap. And if you were here, I'd say really mean things to you, you political cretin. I'd rather break your nose, but I am, unfortunately, nice.

Charlie, I will say one, little thing, for all the faithful here abouts that have been killed at various times by "Acts of God". Go fuck yourself, Charlie Crist.

Obviously, Jeb Bush didn't pray hard enough when he was governor.

This is probably the funniest headline of all time. Kudos to you, TPM.

Talk about inviting disaster.

Thanks for your prayers Charlie. Lots of people pray and it would certainly be wise, if the Governor believed in prayer, for him/her to pray for his state. If people don't believe in prayer, then they shouldn't pray and if they don't believe in abortions they shouldn't get one. On the left we see the sense in the second instance but too often like to be condescending about the first. If you don't believe in God, don't talk to Him/Her, but it shows a lack of wisdom to make fun of others who do. Think about wisdom is-------and then see if you don't agree.

Charlie, can ya get me the lottery numbers?

Well, God does work in mysterious ways.

God, Please do not punish another Republican politician when you make their sanctimonious words bite themselves in the ass. I am native of SC with family in Florida. Oh Lord, hear my prayer.

Hey Charlie, you asshole! We've been trying to get a meeting with you for the last month. I know you've been really, really busy in Oklahoma, raising campaign contributions for the last week, but we really do have a crisis with the electric rates. People can't afford to eat, and you came up with the idea to let Progress Energy put a 30% surcharge on our electric bills to build a nuke plant, that might go online in another 30 years.

We'd really like to talk to you Charlie.

"Dear God, please protect our Florida from storms and other difficulties. Charlie."

What Charlie really wrote

Dear God, please protect my political future by not sending hurricanes through Florida. The State of Florida itself will be bankrupt by what I have done with the state itself guaranteeing the losses of the insurance companies. God, I’ll be good till the storm hits. Charlie

I am not going to comment on the governor's direct line to the Deity.

However, I feel it only fair to point out to him, and to anyone else interested, that I have empirical evidence of a direct correlation between monster hurricanes hitting Miami and my freezer being full, particularly with expensive stuff like meat.

I had just filled before leaving for a wedding in Duluth, Minnesota in August 1992, when Hurricane Andrew hit in 1992. I phoned my neighbors who had our key) to get the meat out when the storm stopped and have a block barbeque with it. They did. After Andrew, we didn't have electricity for nearly a month.

It took me over a decade to actually notice the connection between my freezer and tropical weather patterns, and realize that my shopping habits were causing hurricanes.

In late August 2005, I again gone meat shopping and my freezer was full. A few days later, Katrina blew into town. Another month without electricity, and goodbye roof.

Although hurricane season ends at the end of November, by mid-October I figured it was safe to celebrate my restored electricity by again going shopping. Ha! Along came Wilma. You guessed it--another month without electricity!

It was then that I realized the cause of hurricanes hitting us. Me. And that there might even be a secret of avoiding them. Me.

For the past three years, from May to Dec., I've been trying to keep my freezer as empty as possible. So far it seems to be working--not a single hurricane has come our way. The verdict of the empirical evidence seems clear. I don't want to be responsible, or even complicit, in bringing the next hurricane to our shores. I am willing to do my share to ward off catastrophe.

I do have concerns that, as soon as I write this, a tropical wave will immediately form in the Caribbean, evolve into a hurricane and head straight at us. Call it fear of the "evil eye" or perhaps "hubris." Then again, what's more arrogant--claiming my shopping habits have the power to attract or deflect storms, or Guv Charlie's boast of his direct line to the Almighty?

;-)

Best. Headline. Evah.

When the Hurricanes destroy Florida, how will this guy explain himself: God doesn't approve of him and therefore sent a tempest and pestulence to fester the grievous wound C(h)rist has opened to non-believers? That is my prayer to god, that this man is shown to be as shallow as the rest of the Gee Oh Pee.

He shouldn't take credit. God is misread the note - thought it was Christ asking him to spare Florida. He owed him one after stiffing him on the election (Christ was for McCain/Palin - he felt sorry for them) so God thought he'd throw Christ a bone. God was pretty Po'ed when he saw it was just Crist, so look out Florida in 2009. This was the vengeful God of the Old Testament, not that nice evangelical God.
