Ouch:

Remember when President Bush nominated the politically moderate Harriett Miers for Associate Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court in 2005 and then, under withering pressure from conservatives, reversed course and nominated Samuel Alito instead? Florida Governor Charlie Crist did just the opposite on January 2, 2009, when he gave in to media pressure and turned his back on known conservative Frank Jimenez, then appointed Appellate Justice Jorge LaBarga for the Florida Supreme Court.

 

It looks like we’ve bagged our first RINO of 2009.
