How ironic. Or how conspiratorial.
Either Jim Greer, the Florida GOP’s most notorious pariah, fell on his sword and took one for the team or fell in line with some incentive from vested Republican interests. To be sure, Greer’s guilty plea for grand theft and money laundering saved a lot of prominent GOPsters from explaining, among other things, their involvement in that scandalous duffers-and-hookers Bahamas getaway.
And nobody breathed a louder sigh of relief than former Gov. Charlie Crist, the man who would be governor again and the man who handpicked Greer for the Republican Party’s chairman post. Transcript outtakes would have become cherry-picked manna for the Rick Scott re-election campaign.
