By the power vested in me by the blogosphere, on account of his sheer relentless mendacity, I hereby rename Florida GOP Senate candidate Mike McCalister, 'General Half-Truth.'

FL-SEN: Something’s Rotten in the State of Denmark

“Something’s rotten in the state of Denmark.”

This quote, from Shakespeare’s play Hamlet, is used in modern times to refer to a situation that is “rife with errors from top to bottom,” or exhibiting evidence of rampant corruption or suspicious motives.

Well, something’s rotten in the Florida Senate race, and the people of Florida deserve some answers.

I agree with SunshineStateSarah, "the Danish play" won't play long in the Sunshine State.
Not because the voters here are so politically savvy or even particularly well-read.
They're NOT.
Far from it!
(Have you not been reading this blog?)

It's just that if you are going to lie about certain things in an effort to puff yourself up when you are running for elective office, especially for the U.S. Senate, don't be stupid enough to lie about things that are SO EASY to discover, refute and publicly bring to light.
Things the press corps -even the often sleepwalking Florida press corps- consider low-hanging fruit.
The result of such mendacity is that you just look pathetic and craven, a very bad combination indeed for someone asking people to trust his judgement.

And yes, you are correct -George LeMieux is doing himself no favors with his involvement and behavior in this whole sorry, sorry episode.

I last mentioned Winter Park, FL-based blogger Sarah Rumpf, i.e. SunshineStateSarah, on May 4th, 2011 in a post I titled,
Charlie Crist reduced to being himself again: Pitchman, just NOT from a pitching mound. At least it's not for Chevy!
