Jeb Bush to Charlie Crist: Get Lost

You knew Jeb Bush would rise up and revolt sooner or later, and sure enough.

Over and over Charlie told the world he sees the Republican Party just like Jeb did.

Jeb Bush said it better than I can say it, Crist said on MSNBCs Morning Joe and more than half a dozen national TV talk shows last week. He said todays Republican Party is perceived as being anti-women, anti-immigrant, anti-minority, anti-gay couples, anti-environment, anti-education. I mean, pretty soon, theres nobody left in the room.

It's the litany the former Republican governor-turned failed independent Senate candidate-turned 2014 Democratic candidate for governor uses to explain why he dumped the Republican Party.

Then, during his book tour, in order to give his remarks some credibility -- or something -- Crist even said Bush would make a fine president.

Are you kidding me? asks the Bush camp incredulously.

Charlie Crist is a habitual opportunist with zero credibility, Bush spokeswoman Kristy Campbell told The Daily Caller. Florida voters understood that in 2010 and will once again confirm it in November.

The Daily Caller points out that there's never been any love lost between Team Crist and Team Bush.

"During Floridas 2010 Senate race, Bush endorsed Marco Rubio, not Crist though the endorsement came after Crist bolted the Republican Party," explains the newspaper. "But Bushs son, Jeb Bush Jr., endorsed Rubio early on when Crist was still running as a Republican, which was seen as a signal from Bush world as to which candidate the family was supporting in the Republican primary."

Charlie Crist has been such a disappointment, because he will shift his position for his own personal ambition, the elder Jeb Bush said of Crist in 2010 as Election Day approached. Its not that hes serving anybody, its serving himself. Hes the most ambitious man Ive ever met in politics. He believes in absolutely nothing other than whats the next step for him in a path.

Get thee behind me, Charlie Crist.
