Gawker: Billionaire (FL) Senate Candidate Treated Chef, Yacht Employees Like Crap
<snip>

"Jeff Greene, the weird billionaire playboy who, for some reason, wants to be the Florida's Democratic senator, owns a "party yacht" called Summerwind and employs a staff to maintain it. And the staff of Summerwind really, really hate Jeff Greene.

Greene, who was recently identified as the "creepy middle-aged guy wearing children's clown clothes" in paparazzi photos of a Lindsay Lohan trip to the Caribbean, is doing well in the polls going into his Senate primary against Rep. Kendrick Meek. He seems so nice in his ads, promising to give everyone in Florida jobs, jobs, jobs, and maybe even some jobs once he becomes Senator.

But as a lengthy profile of Greene in the St. Petersburg Times shows, there's quite a line of former Jeff Greene employees — especially those who worked on his vomit-encrusted "party boat" — willing to speak out against (or sue) their hated asshole ex-boss."
