TALLAHASSEE: Jim Greer’s salacious book, 'The Chairman,’ blasts Charlie Crist, tea party - Political Currents - MiamiHerald.com

More evidence that the GOP's wheels are coming off their wagon. Not sure about the potential damage to Crist, but I am not a fan anyway. Click title for link.

The book is hitting store shelves as Crist is seeking the Democratic nomination to oppose Republican Gov. Rick Scott in November. Asked if the book could pose problems for him, Crist said: “A book written by a convict? Zero. Zero.”
Greer [former Republican Party of Florida chairman Jim Greer] calls Sarah Palin “as dumb as a box of rocks,” Carole Crist “a New York Jew and a liberal” and the GOP the party of “old white people.”
The book has factual errors, misspelled names and places. Crist is said to have been “named” education commissioner in 2000, but he was elected; Delray Beach is spelled Del Ray; and Republican strategist Pat Bainter is identified as Pat Baynor.
Greer blamed his downfall on the takeover of the Republican Party by tea party members, whom he calls “crazies,” “wingnuts” and “wackadoos.” He likened them to members of the racist John Birch Society of the 1950s and ’60s, and said their constant calls for his ouster made him physically ill.
