Charlie Crist: I am so very sorry for using David Byrne’s music in my ad without permission

Via JWF, I’d call this a late-night palate cleanser except that it’s honestly excruciating to behold. Yes, I know: “How can it be excruciating to watch Charlie Crist grovel?!” You’ll see. In my entire life, I’ve seen self-abasement like this just once. And that guy needed to be hung upside down out a window to put him in the proper mindset.
Exit quotation from Byrne, who’s urging other pols to take this as a warning before they use unlicensed music: “I’m feeling very manly after my trip to Tampa!”
