Goodbye, Charlie ... hello, Crooky ...
And so it’s done. Florida has officially inaugurated ... Gollum as governor, and waved goodbye to the tan man. God ... help ... us ... all ....

Whatever They do in Texas, We Are Going to do Better, says Scott!
The crook, Rick Scott, that Medicare fraud guy, as of today, the 45th Governor of Florida, and chief, "Bigus Dickus" says "dreams are the stuff that Florida is made of", but as a resident of Florida, he is just my worst nightmare.
Scott takes office with a Republican veto proof legislature in a state where Republicans two years ago thought they were toast. What with investigations, grand juries, criminal indictments: There was Greer, there was Samson, there was Rubio, there was Norman, there was Johnson, and the list goes on and on with Florida's corrupt Republicans, either under investigation or already charged, or "ethics challenged", like Haridopolos, who feels he is above the law.
There's something for everybody not to like. He would radically change public education in Florida. He seems likely to propose something just as radical toward the privatization of Medicaid and state prisons. If he is serious about how we all need to be paying higher electric rates so corporations can pay less, people are going to start noticing.

Senate Democratic Leader Nan Rich, D-Weston, issued a statement after the speech that took note of Scott’s opposition to the Obama administration, which has been most visible in his criticism of the federal health law. Rich said she hopes the "personal war he has declared on Washington doesn’t adversely affect the essential services Florida provides, from public education to health care." Yeah. Good luck with that.
The inaugural, which Peter Schorsch covered, so I could thankfully ignore it, was heavily financed by the lobbyists and special interests who now officially own the Sunshine State, thanks to our new fraud-certified CEO.
Gollum "got to work" after the ... um ... "festivities..." ahem ... issuing a string of executive orders sure to please the tea party faithful, by attempting to scare the brown people away. From the in-box:
