Florida's heated gubernatorial race could use some chilling out, and there's nothing cooler than Vanilla Ice. Am I right, kids?
Well Rick Scott recently met Florida's greatest white rapper, but Mr. Ice was quick to point out that the meeting did not equal an endorsement.
Ice, real name Rob Van Winkle, performed last night at a tourism event held by the Cultural Council of Palm Beach. In fact, he was joined by the Palm Beach Symphony and Ballet Palm Beach. Yes ... this is Palm Beach's idea of culture. We'd laugh, but then again we wouldn't be surprised if our New World Symphony somehow ended up performing with Pitbull, so we don't want to judge too harshly.
At the event Ice met Mr. Freeze Gov. Scott, and the pair was all smiles for a photo that ended up on Ice's Twitter.
Ice, however, was quick to affirm that it didn't mean he was putting his weight behind Scott over Charlie Crist.
This event was not about elections, it's about Florida tourism which is why we can all come together and enjoy beautiful Florida
