Ex-Senate Candidate Crist Apologizes on Video for Ripping Off Talking Heads

A chastened and contrite Charlie Crist has posted a YouTube video apologizing for his unauthorized use of the David Byrne song, "Road to Nowhere."

Settling a copyright dispute, the defeated U.S. Senate candidate pledges not to co-opt the work of musical artists in "any future" electoral campaigns.

Judging by Crist's obvious discomfort on camera, this surely was not the way the former People's Governor envisioned launching his post-political legal career.
