Charlie Crist is “running his campaign out of a former lingerie store called ‘Maison Rouge,’” it appears. This must be where he met his “wife,” when she was working as a mannequin. Meanwhile, you can still bid on that Official Charlie Crist Painting on the eBay for another 42 hours! The most recent bid was $6,600, which is a comical amount of money to spend on a Mexican Charlie Crist painting. [St. Petersblog via Ben Smith]

Change that sign to “Maison Orange” stat!

Bearbloke May 10, 2010 at 4:54 pm

Is Maison Rouge a subsidiary of Rentboy.com?

La Cage au Falls?

Rosie Scenario May 10, 2010 at 4:55 pm

I guess “La cage aux folles” wasn’t available.

memzilla May 10, 2010 at 4:55 pm

I believe “Maison Rouge” is a French (!!!) colloquialism for “whorehouse,” so WIN!

memzilla May 10, 2010 at 4:56 pm

[re=574105]chascates[/re]: La Cage au Fails. /fixed

[re=574105]chascates[/re]: Dang, I had to look up the spelling.

Charlie (del Gesu) Crist is an unstoppable juggernaught on his way to the White House! Crist/Boehner 2012! Vote orange!

Just as long as he keeps his baton rouge in his pants.

edgydrifter May 10, 2010 at 4:59 pm

It was either this place or the Orange Julius down the block. This place has nicer drapes.

SayItWithWookies May 10, 2010 at 5:00 pm

Crist didn’t leave the Republican party — he just slipped into something more comfortable.

Aurelio May 10, 2010 at 5:00 pm

Maison Rouge Lingerie?

Will Monsieur Crist sweep into the store to greet shoppers, showing off his latest creation?

I said “Je suis de la sui, Je sois de la soi”. I must have said it wrong – they brought me cheese on a bra.

a work in progress… or regress, rather.

What would sad, orange, no-armed Jesus do?

snideinplainsight May 10, 2010 at 5:10 pm

Sorry, I meant blue – he’s blue. He’s really blue (and sad.)

Does it to you?

JMP May 10, 2010 at 5:10 pm

It’s a tribute to Moulin Rouge, and how that Nicole Kidman is just such a fabulous, glamorous woman; Christ says that he wishes he could be just like h- uh, he wishes he could sleep with her. Yeah, that’s what he meant.

BobTheBuilder May 10, 2010 at 5:13 pm

Ohh-kayyy. You rent the former “Maison Rouge” as your campaign office, and the very first thing we do ISN’T to TAKE DOWN THE GOD-DAMNED SIGN?

What… do you just not give a crap?

Let’s hope Charlie’s studying that “Divorcee’s anti-cellulite secret: Now teenage boys try to pick me up!”

You know who else owned a “Red House?” Josef Stalin that’s who. Game. Set. Pogrom.

If you look in closely, you can vaguely see a poster of Judy Garland.

[re=574121]SayItWithWookies[/re]: Heh. There’s that big fat wookie win I’ve been waiting for all day.

SayItWithWookies May 10, 2010 at 5:34 pm

[re=574161]Lascauxcaveman[/re]: It’s been kinda hectic here — hell, I’ve even done some work today.

ella May 10, 2010 at 5:39 pm

Is it in South Beach?

germansteel May 10, 2010 at 5:49 pm

“Maison L’Orange” was already taken by the Ukrainians.

Anita Cocktail May 10, 2010 at 5:49 pm

Maybe you get a free blusher (color: Boehner Brown?) with every lawn sign.

Bearbloke May 10, 2010 at 5:57 pm

[re=574175]Anita Cocktail[/re]: Not ‘Boehner Purple’, to indicate the level of excitement within the campaign?

Joshua Norton May 10, 2010 at 6:00 pm

“I went to Rentboy.com and all I got was this stupid office.”

CrunchyKnee May 10, 2010 at 6:02 pm

Some of my favorite Charlie Crist anagrams include:

Rectal Rich Is
Recitals Rich
Tracers Chili
Carters Chili
Craters Chili
Haler Critics
Trailers Chic
Trailer Chics
Hair Circlets

For no particular reason.

Beowoof May 10, 2010 at 6:07 pm

Does his new wife help him select the lingere when he heads out to campaign in South Beach.

Jukesgrrl May 10, 2010 at 6:21 pm

[re=574103]Judas Peckerwood[/re]: Casa Naranja. You get accuracy and pandering to the Cubans in one fell swoop.

[re=574143]BobTheBuilder[/re]: They shouldn’t even need a ladder to remove the sign. Charlie’s Angels could just fly up there and rip it down.

BarackMyWorld May 10, 2010 at 6:23 pm

Not gay at all.

[re=574185]Joshua Norton[/re]: Jinx! You owe me a coke, mate!

Maus May 10, 2010 at 7:04 pm

How in the hell is Meek not doing better?

dijetlo May 10, 2010 at 7:16 pm

[re=574222]Maus[/re]: It’s Florida and he’s…um…well…black.
I think the rednecks on the panhandle would saw the state off just above Tallahassee and row the fucking thing out into the Atlantic before they let something like that happen. It is, after all, Scarborough country.

Crank Tango May 10, 2010 at 7:18 pm

In his defense, he thought it said “maison rogue.”

WadISay May 10, 2010 at 7:48 pm

[re=574186]CrunchyKnee[/re]: Rectal ich, sir.

Extemporanus May 10, 2010 at 7:48 pm

[re=574115]What Fresh Hell is This?[/re]: Charlie wasn’t crowned “FSU Class of ’78 Baton Twirling Queen” for nothing.

[re=574185]Joshua Norton[/re]: “I went to Rentboy.com and all I got was this smooth, sweet, tight orafice.”

Country Club Jihadi May 10, 2010 at 8:10 pm

Well, “Rouge Cou” worked so well for Sarah.

El Pinche May 10, 2010 at 11:49 pm

And he’s absolutely a Republican:

Quitting the crazies, auctioning paintings, using boutiques, and single-handedly fighting oil giants…you have hope. You may make the tide turn your way and you might even beat Marco Palinio.

One Flew Over the Wingnut May 11, 2010 at 12:08 am

[re=574114]V572625694[/re]: Ah and so I suppose now we can answer Georgia what real ‘Merika’s idea of an Orange Revolution is. If you put Crist and Boner on a ticket, there wouldn’t enough spray tan or fake bake booths invented or produced to service them both; reality would crash.

bunnyhead May 11, 2010 at 12:37 pm

Well at least he rented an office. Onward and upward. Go Charlie!
