Audiotape from the Dee Dee Hall video about Charlie Crist debuted on the Paul and Young Ron Show on 105.9 FM this morning. After it played, Paul Castronovo, who is all over the place these days (including Channel 10), said after it played, “This is intense.” My segment — which…

Jordan, at left, shows his Harris spirit Click here to see the videotaped sworn statement from Dee Dee Hall, who says former Katherine Harris travel aide Bruce Carlton Jordan, a convicted felon, told her he was in an exclusive romantic relationship with GOP gubernatorial candidate Charlie Crist. Hall’s boyfriend, Jay…

A videotaped sworn statement has surfaced that bolsters the contention that Florida Attorney General and Republican gubernatorial candidate Charlie Crist had a recent romantic relationship with a convicted felon and former travel aide to U.S. Rep. Katherine Harris. Last week, I reported that 21-year-old GOP staffer Jason Wetherington had claimed…

Time for another one of those newsy deals without much reporting in them but that you can take to the bank. Let’s preface with the bad news first. Circulation at newspapers is still trending downward, as a corporate analyst might say. According to the Sun-Sentinel’s Harriet Johnson Brackey, the Newspaper…

Hemmer: A Tool In The Box Fox is at it again, ala Dan Rather and Swift Boat. They’re blanket-covering this idiotic, botched John Kerry joke like it’s actually important. It’s the most important thing in the world to the Fox News Channel, where Bush/GOP tools Bill Hemmer and Brit Hume…

Just got off the Jim DeFede Show on 940 AM regarding Charlie Crist. It was great because I got the time to tell most of the story and also answer DeFede’s sometimes tough questions. His radio style is easy as a Sunday morning but never forget that DeFede is one…

Gallagher and Crist Okay, the new Crist story is on the New Times home page. One of the main knocks against the first story was that it used anonymous sources (whom I knew to be credible). Well, this one’s got two named sources who I also believe to be credible…

What follows is the full transcript of last night’s gubernatorial debate between Charlie Crist, Jim Davis, and Max Linn. It’s, um, really long. CHRIS MATTHEWS, MSNBC HOST: Florida, the state that carried George W. Bush into the White House and elected Jeb Bush twice for governor. A state on the…

Doing a little maintenance around here. On the Pulp’s right-hand side over there, you’ll see that I’ve finally added two new publications under the “Newspapers” heading. The first is Category305, an online newspaper started by former Miami New Timesers Rebecca Wakefield and Celeste Delgado. Go there early and often –…

Tampa Tribune You have to love a debate that transcends the packaged messages and shakes a little truth from the rafters and moderator Chris Matthews and Reform Party candidate Max Linn delivered that last night in the nationally televised gubernatorial match-up. And guess who paid the price? Charlie Crist, of…

From Sunday’s St. Pete Times: ———————— “NOT THAT THERE’S ANYTHING WRONG WITH THAT: He’s denied it publicly, repeatedly, and clearly, but Republican gubernatorial nominee Charlie Crist has yet to shake the talk that he’s gay. There is no evidence that it’s hurting his campaign, but the Crist-is-gay chatter that went…

Linn Pretty average day in South Florida newspaperdom — the Sun-Sentinel chickened out again. Linda Kleindienst wrote a front-page story about how hard it is for third-party gubernatorial candidate Max Linn to get any media despite the fact that he’s a lifelong Republican and pumped more than a million dollars…

It’s so funny to read that state Rep. Mandy Dawson has endorsed Charlie Crist. “I am encouraging everyone I know to take a look at Charlie’s record and reward his brand of leadership in Florida,” Dawson wrote in a press release. Oh dear, Dawson must be back on the painkillers…

Thought He Couldn’t Go Lower? The Sun-Sentinel, as it so often does, is taking a dirty local public official to task, investigating the once-popular public servant with a clear-eyed efficiency that can only be described as masterful. Oh wait, the Sentinel never does that. So what gives? John Holland and…

The death penalty was made for Danny Rolling. I guess if push came to shove I’d vote to abolish state executions, because innocent people sometimes get caught up in it and most of the time it doesn’t seem right to me at all. But killing that frowning moping horrow show…

A videotaped sworn statement has surfaced that bolsters the contention that Florida Attorney General and Republican gubernatorial candidate Charlie Crist had a recent romantic relationship with a convicted felon and former travel aide to U.S. Rep. Katherine Harris. Last week, I reported that 21-year-old GOP staffer Jason Wetherington had claimed…

A young rising star in the Republican Party has boasted to witnesses of his sexual relationship with Charlie Crist, the frontrunner in the Florida governor’s race who has repeatedly denied that he is gay. The GOP staffer, 21-year-old Jason Wetherington, told friends at separate social functions in August that he…

Wanted to post a couple things. Actually, wanted to post a lot of things but only have time for a couple. First a story by Kirk Nielsen in the Daily Business Review about the reversal of the $18.3 million “false light” verdict in a defamation suit against the Pensacola News…

Channeling Atwater Charlie Crist is a darn nice guy. This past Monday after I had finished asking him several somewhat awkward questions about allegations that he was gay, I said, “Well, I’m sure you’re busy …”. A lot of candidates in the middle of a suddenly heated gubernatorial election a…

There were stories on the new PS2 video game Bully in the Palm Beach Post and Sun-Sentinel today. And their takes couldn’t have been more divergent. The Post story, by Laura Green, was about the PBC’s Superintendent Art Green’s take on the game: “The game rewards everything real schools advise…

We just published this story on the New Times homepage wherein Charlie Crist, I believe for the first time, denies that he has ever had sex with a man and, more specifically, denies he had sex with two particular men who are named in the article. I wrote the story…

Cerrella You can read about the Katherine Harris-Bill Nelson debate here and here, but it wasn’t much to see. Nelson was, as always, predictable and plodding, the political equivalent of the old crab scuttling on the bottom of the sea. Harris, as the Sun-Sentinel noted, didn’t embarrass herself, really, she…
