The Governor's Wife
According to Chris Kelly at the Huffington Post:
Carole Rome, the woman to whom Florida vice presidential hopeful Governor Charlie Crist conveniently just got engaged after 30 years of being single, "inherited - and runs -- one of America's oldest Halloween costume companies. The woman marrying the gayish governor from the sultry southern state actually makes beards."
(via gawker)
I wonder if the Green Iguana throws a good Halloween party?

Floridians really got shamed from this Crist guy...promise them anything, tax cuts, property tax cuts, catastratosphric huricane insurance fund blah blah blah...I and others were suspicious from the get go...now the state is in dire shape...god forbid when the next cat4 hurricane hits..and what about all those "new" industries that were going to boost Florida's tax revenues? Scripts technologies was going to open on the east coast...the republicans gave them BIG tax cuts..yet still there is no Scripts instead the state was going to cut the medically needy program and at the last moment kept it alive by dipping into the states reserve. Oh and the tomato scare..where was Crist?..instead of demanding the govt find out what is really going on tomato farmers (whom are mostly conservative republicans) are floundering and going broke ..while Crist is picking out wedding rings...ya hes a great governor

The liberal Huffington Post seems to have no hesitation in using gay male issues in a homophobic way. It is thus Hiffington Post which is being homophobic here. Liberals tend to treat gay men as a politically useful pity class, so it shouldn't surprise.
If you look at the Huffington Post website, it's got a lot of articles showing women in bikinis but none showing men in Speedo's. It's a double standard which props up the sleazy straight guy fantasy while ignoring the gay and bisexual male audience.

The Governor ambitions are getting the best of him. Although the story is quite funny, I'm sadden to see him going on with a plan that leads him no where. I think the man is highly intelligent and capable, he could be so much more if he only had a change of heart (or party).

And Jason illustrates the principle that gay conservatives can't tell the difference between a gay man (who shouldn't be ridiculed) and a closeted, hypocritical gay man (who deserves nothing but ridicule).

Jason, right now, on HuffPo, there's a picture of Jim Carrey in a bikini. Personally, I think it's a little odd to be looking for spank material on a news website, but to each his own.
And if anyone deserves to poke a little fun at closeted gay men, it's Ariana. She was married to one for chrissakes.

A Republican Governor plagued by gay rumors suddenly marrying a woman just in time to be seriously considered for Vice-Presidential Candidate selection? Must be a coincidence, no?

This guy's a laugh a minute.
Ariana married for money, honey.
