Former Florida Governor Charlie Crist has been hounding current Florida Governor Rick Scott to release his tax returns and divulge all kinds of things to the public, in an effort to try paint Scott as an out-of-touch, deceptive rich dude, and try to score political points while he is doing so.
But now that Scott and his wife Ann have released their tax returns, Crist is “adamant” that he won’t release his wife Carole’s tax returns.So is transparent Charlie really all that transparent?
“‘I think Charlie Crist will follow our lead and disclose his and his wife’s tax returns for 2010, 2011 and 2012,’ Scott said. ‘I think he ought to do that right away so every citizen in the state can look at that and because transparency is good for everybody.”

And now Scott’s reelection campaign is capitalizing on Crist’s 1 millionth flip flip with a new commercial outlining Crist’s little tax return dodge.
Meanwhile, Crist still refuses to debate former Democrat Senator Nan Rich.
