Florida Democratic gubernatorial candidate Charlie Crist attempted to promote his book at the conclusion of his interview Monday on The Reid Report.
Unfortunately, the camera cut away mid sentence to former Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison (R., Texas):
CHARLIE CRIST: Joy, Joy?
JOY REID: Yes.
CRSIT: I have a book for you. It says "To Joy, God bless you, Charlie Crist," with today's date, your first date, God bless you.
REID: Aw, that is so kind thank you very much sir. I really appreciate that.
Crist's book has been widely panned by pundits across the political spectrum. Isaac Chotnier of The New Republic writes:
Charlie Crist’s new book, lazily titled The Party’s Over, is a cause for both anger and sadness. Crist, the former Republican governor of Florida who is now running for the same office as a Democrat, has written—or rather has co-written, with Newsday columnist and Fox News liberal Ellis Henican—a dishonest and boring memoir. But by the end of this slim volume, a self-justifying account of why Crist switched parties, pathos overwhelms the sheer awfulness of the book. Crist is such a political hack, and so unable to talk or sound like a normal human being, that he actually provides a window into the soul-destroying business of politics.
