Carl Hiaasen on the deteriorating state of Florida politics
It may be a swing state, but Miami Herald columnist and author Carl Hiaasen says that if the nation’s politics follow the same path as his home state of Florida, we all might as well move to the Bahamas. It’s hard to argue against the assertion that Florida’s political climate is getting weird ? just this week, Governor Charlie Crist took a swipe at his competitor for senate Marco Rubio by accusing him of back-waxing. Hiaasen explains why Florida is on the cutting edge of political innovation when it comes to gall, graft and gripes.
