Florida court clears way for Rebekah Jones to stay in congressional race, challenge Matt Gaetz
Things are never boring as the Sunshine State continues in retrograde orbit about the Sun. Rebekah Jones, the data scientist and erotic novelist, has been cleared to make this November's election the most entertaining in recent memory. Her opponent is the somewhat recently married Matt Gaetz, who has done his best to put distance from his past reputation as an obnoxious, sneering frat boy. Between now and the election, Gaetz and Jones should be political-sexual fireworks only a Hollywood scriptwriter could dream-up.
Almost on the undercard is former governor Charlie Crist. The perpetually tanned Mr. Florida has risen from the ashes to battle Ron DeSantis for another turn in Tallahassee. Astute observers may recall the last time Charlie was running for governor, the lifelong bachelor suddenly got married to a woman named Carole Rome. Understandably, the two were so busy with their daily schedules they seldom met-- unless it was for an important banquet or a political rally. So in the dead of night when no one was looking, they quietly got divorced.
However miracles do happen twice! As Charlie was gearing-up to run again for governor this year, love was in the air. This time around, Charlie Crist found a woman named Chelsea Grimes who has agreed to play his wife. There is no word whether they will ever occupy the same dwelling simultaneously.
There is only one Florida.
