The Sad Fate of Charlie Crist: Annoying TV Ad Lawyer

Some governors go on to higher offices after their terms end. Others continue championing key issues from outside the capitol or get into punditry. Very rarely do they go back to something resembling a normal 9-to-5. Well, Charlie Crist is now back at work as a lawyer at super-firm Morgan...

Some governors go on to higher offices after their terms end. Others continue championing key issues from outside the capitol or get into punditry. Very rarely do they go back to something resembling a normal 9-to-5. Well, Charlie Crist is now back at work as a lawyer at super-firm Morgan & Morgan, which specializes in the not-so-political, not-so-high powered, not-so-glamorous world of representing accident and injury victims. Now they're pimping Charlie out in their ads.

While we aren't subjected to the advertising tyranny of firm head John Morgan down here in South Florida, others in the state can't watch TV for more than 15 minutes before seeing one of his dry "For the People" ads. Well, now Morgan has Crist doing the TV pimping for him, and to think this was once a man seriously considered as a vice presidential candidate.

Oh, how the mighty have fallen. Wait, what's that? *Whirrrr* *Whirrrrr* I think it's an ambulance? Charlie get off the TV and get down there!! It's your job now!
