Now that Florida is a blue state again, I expect all your apologies forthwith.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

That means no more voting jokes, no more banana republic jokes, no statements about "Give Florida over to Cuba", no statements about how we wish the state gets washed away into the sea, etc.

The Sunshine State awaits your apologies. Thank you.

[Chan790]

1. The southern half of your state is beautiful...

if they scuttled the top half and the panhandle it'd make a very nice island of liberals who we would never have to worry about voting GOP ever again.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

6. All of Florida is beautiful, thank you very much.

And all of Connecticut is cold. Very cold.

[Chan790]

11. Yes but...

Florida has palmetto bugs and mosquitoes the size of Cadillacs. Connecticut has legalized gay marriage and great skiing.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

13. Pfffbbt. Connecticut has this guy:

Against whom I'll be glad to take pride in any palmetto bug or mosquito.

[Chan790]

16. You've got this guy though...

Lieberasshole is an asshole but at least he votes the right way much of the time.

[MrCoffee]

25. Connecticut also has this guy

[Chan790]

33. You're dead to me, Coffee!

Dead dead dead.

[MrCoffee]

40. I'm tired of Texas being saddled with that thing. Own up, CT.

[Chan790]

47. He was only born here...

it was the state of TX that gave him that oversized ego. Everything's bigger in TX indeed. This is the basis of the nature vs. nurture argument. All we did was create a being with the potential to be Dubya...it took TX to bring that potential to fruition.

We never would have elected him governor in any case...that's Texas' fault.

[KamaAina]

2. I'm deeply and truly sorry your expansion team got its brains beat in

oh, that's right, they're both expansion teams.

How was "Xanadu", anyway?

[Tommy_Carcetti]

7. Expect a Xanaduabration shortly. nt

[AlCzervik]

3. My rw bil lives there, thanks for keeping him.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

8. You're very welcome. We Floridians are a charitable folk. nt

[MrCoffee]

4. I cannot believe that FL isn't part of Cuba yet.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

9. I cannot believe it's not butter.

Vote Spraychel!

[flvegan]

5. "America's wang" rises to the needs of the many!

w00t Florida!

[Tommy_Carcetti]

10. And it shall continue to rise to the occasion. nt

[TZ]

12. If you like big swamps and lots of big ass mosquitos...

I guess its okay (I actually applied to grad school in Gainesville..somehow I'm glad I didn't get in)

[Tommy_Carcetti]

14. I do.

The River of Grass:



No other place like it on earth. The big ass mosquitos feed the big ass other animals which creates quite a nice display of wildlife.

[geomon666]

15. We just banned gay marriage here yesterday.

So I wouldn't exactly be patting yourself (or ourselves I guess) on the back right now. We still have really fucked up values in this state.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

17. We're no worse than California in that regard, though.

Baby steps, my friend, baby steps. All in all, it still was a great day for the Sunshine State.

[geomon666]

18. It was a good day.

Great day is a bit of a stretch but I get what you're saying.

[Taverner]

19. I'm sorry - can I come to Orlando?

[Tommy_Carcetti]

22. Sure.

The City Beautiful awaits.

[Taverner]

23. Will I get to see the mouse?

[Tommy_Carcetti]

24. But of course.

[mainegreen]

20. Eat my shorts, sunshine.

:7

[Tommy_Carcetti]

21. Go jump in a lake, lobsterhead.

:7

[El Fuego]

53. Bow before our mighty electoral power, Maniac!

[Bake]

26. I'll apologize ... when monkeys fly out of my butt!

:evilgrin:

Bake

[JVS]

27. There will be no apology, but such statements shall cease immediately. That is all, long live Chuggo

Your state party leaders are still on notice.

[driver8]

28. Never!! Florida gave us Dipshit in 2000...

it will take a lot more than one election to fix that!!

[Tommy_Carcetti]

39. Actually, the SCOTUS gave us Dipshit in 2000....

If you recall, the Florida Supreme Court ruled in favor of a full recount.

[LeftyMom]

29. Good luck with that.

:popcorn:

[SteppingRazor]

30. Other than the presidential election, it was a pretty grim night here in South Florida.

All three Republican representatives in Miami Dade County held onto their seats. Amendment 2 passed, even getting the majority of votes here in Broward County, the most Democratic county in the state. The Republican even won the Broward County Sheriff race, and no state legislature or state senate seats changed party.\

[Orsino]

31. Amendment 2.

Amendment 2. x(

[KG]

32. yeah. this state has a ways to go.

and that's an issue that crossed racial line. you can be sure lots of blacks and whites voted for 2

[Orsino]

35. And it's not just Florida.

Such measures could have passed in more places then they did.

[Oeditpus Rex]

34. Getting two things right in 163 years does not change your status as

America's Dripping Penis.



(The first thing was the 1972 Dolphins.)

[Tommy_Carcetti]

36. We voted Clinton in 1992, don't you forget. nt

[philosophie_en_rose]

37. As Chris Rock said . .

You did what you should have done. What do you want? A cookie? (If yes, you should have stopped at Krispy Kreme yesterday).

[Tommy_Carcetti]

38. I got myself some free Starbucks. nt

[DarkTirade]

41. No, Florida still sucks.

Any state that has cockroaches as long as my finger ALL OVER THE GOD DAMNED PLACE automatically gets put in the 'suck' category. Sorry.

[Blue_Tires]

42. you know i can still crack some 'criminoles' jokes

[sasquatch]

43. Not until you start putting anti-psychotics directly into the water suppky

[Bake]

44. Has anybody apologized yet?

Didn't think so ...

:rofl:

Bake

[zanne]

45. Forgive me, Florida, for I have sinned. nt

[Tommy_Carcetti]

46. As penance, I order you to go to Ichetucknee Springs State Park

Pretty good penance, if you ask me.

[zanne]

48. Good God, that's beautiful....

But I heart the Everglades.

[TZ]

49. You also gave us Katherine Harris.

Yick!

[Tommy_Carcetti]

54. And we kicked her to the curb in 2006. Laughably.

:)

[petronius]

50. Tell you what - the next two times I read a story about some insane nutjobbery

that happened in a place other than Florida, I will consciously refrain from posting something like: "The location's screwed up - they misspelled Florida!" or "OK, FL - the ball's in your court!"

I think that's sufficient reward for your achievement this week...

:toast:

[cwydro]

51. The Keys were always blue.

But I am proud of the rest of my adopted state. Except for Amendment 2.

I am proud of my home state of NC too.

[El Fuego]

52. Damn straight!!!! We were blue in 2000 too, people should remember.

Scalia made us red in 2000. Diebold made us red in 2004.
