Crist Took Money from Strip Club Owner, Scott Team Charges

Gov. Rick Scotts team pounced on Democratic rival former Gov. Charlie Crist for accepting $40,000 from strip clubs. SB Productions Inc. out of Hollywood, Fla., sent a Crist PAC $30,000 while J.W. Lee Properties LLC out of Hallandale gave the PAC $10,000.

SB Productions and J.W. Lee Properties are companies owned by Brandon Samuels, John Blanke, and William Beasley," the Scott team noted. J.W. Lee is doing business as Scarletts Cabaret, a Hallandale strip club. Scott's team tried to connect these donors to old Crist ally Jim Greer.

It looks like Charlie Crist is in bed with some unsavory characters once again, said Greg Blair, a spokesman for the Scott campaign. On a desperate hunt for campaign cash, hes calling up Jim Greers old friends, who big surprise have legal troubles of their own. When everyone around him seems to end up in prison, we dont expect anything else from a corrupt politician like Charlie Crist.
