Man, I wish I would have made that up myself, galactically stupid has a nice ring to it. The Times busted out a pretty sweet story on our boy Crist and his knack for overpromising. You know, it seems like dude forgets that people write this shit down and then fact check it later on - which leads to him, on August 17, saying things like:

I never promised anything. I’m not going to overpromise. I’m very careful about how I speak. What I’ve done is promise this administration’s best efforts to do everything we can to reduce the burden of property insurance and property taxes. I can’t say it will be a 30 percent reduction. I’d be a moron to say that. Why would I do that? That would be galactically stupid.

Right… except that whole March 21 speech where you might have said something along the lines of:

Don’t believe what you’re seeing in some of the papers — not all of them — that the rates aren’t going to go down as much as we would like. They are — I guarantee it — they’re going to keep going down.

Hmm, I’m certainly no scholar, and hell, I’m really not even that smart to begin with, but I’m seeing some conflict in these statements. Let’s hope that people are paying attention this time around, he currently has a 70% approval rating but the next poll is coming up next month. If that number doesn’t drop I’m throwing a damn rock, I guarantee it.
