Crist Needs Geography Lesson

In the very first sentence of his letter seeking an additional $100 million for Florida from BP, Crist misstates the mileage of Florida coastline along the Gulf of Mexico as 1,260. That's actually the total mileage for all of Florida's coastline. Only a little more than 770 miles of the state's coastline actually borders the Gulf. The other 580 border the Atlantic Ocean.
