While Rhode Island’s gays woke up to a new, insanely friendlier man in the governor’s mansion, Florida’s Gov. Rick Scott spent the day of his swearing in — after his prayer breakfast — issuing a slew of executive orders, including EO 11-04, which bars discrimination against state employees based on “race, gender, creed, color and national origin.” Huh. Not only does the order appear unnecessary, it also seems to strip away existing protections under the Florida Civil Rights Act, which bars discrimination based on “race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, handicap, or marital status.” Neither regulation, however, includes sexual orientation or gender identity. But c’mon, this is the guy who loved Florida’s ban on gays adopting, and wants to keep marriage for heterosessuals. No wonder this guy thinks he needs security guards armed with earpieces and helicopters trailing his every move just to stay safe.

He’s got a bad case of ‘gay wrist’ in this picture and ‘gay lips’ and ‘gay fingers’.

“….to offend homosexuals.”

Might I humbly suggest: FL Teabagger Gov. Rick Scott Immediately Applies “Executive Activism” to Unilaterally Overturn the Will of the People.
PLAYS WELL WITH OTHERS
Clearly he as ugly in the inside as he is on the outside…..

He’s also a fraud and a thief. His corporation bilked the US Gov out of Medicare funds then cried ignorance as a defense. He will not talk about the situation. I begged people to vote for Sink.

Plus he sounds like Porky Pig when he speaks.

Don’t worry too much Rodrigo. I give it six months, a year tops, before he’s neck deep in some sort of scandal.
I mean look at how down-to-earth he’s being already. Clearly this man has never seen the glory and grandeur that is all the homeless insane people roaming Tallahassee.
I’m pretty sure we’ll be watching the news in a month and seeing him try to explain why his faux secret service shot and killed the crazy homeless chick that used to have arguments with herself outside of Borders while I was working there. That or the state will be bankrupt. One of the two.

@McMike: I know, right?! I’ve been noticing this for months! Why is it that the most anti-gay politicians appear to be the most stereotypically gay themselves? I swear, Criminal/governor Scott can’t say one sentence without waiving his wrists like a teenage girl. Makes Charlie Christ look BUTCH.
