Make us your home page  Rick Scott's nonanswers bring national
ridicule  The governor's gone viral again.   He doesn't like to
answer questions.  Name a subject, and Scott won't address it.
MSNBC, with its endless fascination for Florida politics,
awarded him a place in its "Canned Response Repetition Hall of
Fame."  Both channels ran the same video clip of Scott, eyes
open wide, a frozen smile fixed on his face, dodging Tampa TV
reporters asking why uniformed, on-duty sheriff's deputies were
at a Tampa event promoting his re-election last week. It is
illegal for public employees to engage in such activity, and
illegal for anyone to coerce them into doing it.  "I'm very
proud that last week, police chiefs endorsed me," Scott said
earnestly, totally ignoring the question. "I'm very proud that
40 sheriffs have endorsed me."  That's a campaign commercial,
not a serious reply.  With his very next breath, Scott said: "So
we invite them to our campaign events and I'm very appreciative
of the ones that came."
