Florida GOP boss ousted by teabaggers

Jim Greer, Florida GOP Chair and ally of current FL governor and senate candidate Charlie Crist, resigned today:
On a conference call with reporters just now, Republican Party of Florida Chairman Jim Greer officially announced his resignation, effective on February 20. He took the opportunity to tear into his right-wing critics for wanting a smaller party and accused them of pulling apart the GOP itself in order to take him out.
Crist and allies like Greer have been under attack by teabagger darling and Crist senate seat rival Marco Rubio. So is Greer some sort of namby-pamby New England-style RINO? Nope—he’s the same Greer who caused a nationwide furor by going nutso at the prospect of the president addressing school children this past fall:
As the father of four children, I am absolutely appalled that taxpayer dollars are being used to spread President Obama’s socialist ideology. The idea that school children across our nation will be forced to watch the President justify his plans for government-run health care, banks, and automobile companies, increasing taxes on those who create jobs, and racking up more debt than any other President, is not only infuriating, but goes against beliefs of the majority of Americans, while bypassing American parents through an invasive abuse of power.
Remember, Greer—GREER!—isn’t wingnutty enough for Rubio and crew. Jeebus save us…
