Charlie Crist and the politics of back waxing

By at 9 March, 2010, 7:45 pm

The race for the Republican Senate seat in Florida is getting to be a real hair raiser. When Governor Charlie Crist took a stab at Marco Rubio, his opponent, on Greta Van Susteren’s show “On The Record,” he did not wax eloquently. Crist told Van Susteren, “It has come out in news accounts he had a Republican Party of Florida credit card that he charged $130 haircut, or maybe it was a back wax — we’re not sure what he got at that place … “I get my haircut for $11 from a guy named Carl the Barber in St. Petersburg, Florida where I grew up. And to me, that’s real fiscal conservatism.” Now to be clear, no one has suggested

that Rubio really got his back waxed — or that his back even needs waxing. Rubio says the money went for some grooming products that were auctioned off for party business. But the details have been sketchy, leaving the door open for Crist to have some fun at Rubio’s expense — to deliver the political equivalent of a pie-in-the-face, reports the Orlando Sentinel. But it looks like Rubio got his back up and responded to Crist’s statements, saying the governor has been reduced to making up stories about his opponent’s grooming habits.
