Dirty politics: Republicans file complaint over Charlie Crist TV ad

No limit to the dirty games rethugs will resort will use.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Florida Republicans are saying former Gov. Charlie Crist and his law firm broke campaign finance laws.

A Republican Party of Florida top official filed a complaint Monday with the state elections commission.

The complaint contends a Tallahassee television station ran an ad Sunday put up by the Morgan & Morgan law firm that features Crist. Crist joined the firm after losing his 2010 bid for the U.S. Senate.

In the ad Crist thanks "unsung heroes."

Here's the quote i found in the Miami Herald:

“It doesn’t get more ironic than Rick Scott, after pleading the fifth 75 times to avoid going to jail and leading one of the largest fraud schemes in the history of the US, directing his staff to file an absurd ethics complaint against Charlie Crist, the People’s Governor,” said Kevin Cate, a spokesman for Crist's campaign/

According to the complaint, on Dec. 30, 2010, five days before Crist left office, he appointed a Morgan & Morgan partner, Joseph Linnehan, to a seat on the JNC for the 20th circuit in southwest Florida. The Florida Bar confirmed Thursday that it had recommended Linnehan for one of the vacancies on the commission.
