FL Cong Robert Wexler appears to not own a Florida Residence.

Congressman Robert Wexler is one elected official who metaphorically keeps falling on his face by tripping over his untied shoelaces, according to the Tribune-owned Sun-Sentinel serving S. Florida from Palm Beach to Miami/Dade County.

I first met his office workers when my wife's real estate office was located next to his Congressional District Office on Military Hwy in Boca. They were charmingly vague when I asked how often the Congressman, a devout liberal, visited the office.

The woman who helped my wife and me refinance our mortgage told us that she had been Wexler's office assistant before he went into politics while he was a lawyer here in Boca. She described him as "laid back" and a "nice guy."

When a former state representative [Republican] moved next door to us, he told me that Wexler was "fundamentally lazy." I myself had told my ex-pat brother to inform Wexler that I was a resident of his Cong. Dist. after my brother told me Wexler & family were going to visit his project in Banda Aceh, where my bro is head of a big USAID project.

The Sun-Sentinel here has been on Wexler's case over his CD residence's being his father-in-law's condo in Delray Beach. This makes Robert the only FL Congressman whose primary residence is out of state, according to theS-S's Mging Editor Mr. Fins.

Very bad form, as the Brits would say. Wexler travels overseas incessantly, especially to Israel, according to newspapers in the S. Florida area.

The ultra-liberal Palm Beach Post takes a more compliant view of Wexler's residential improprieties, focussing instead on Wexler's attacks on Sen. Lieberman, who is in-state supporting McCain's foreign policy.

As a matter of interest, the former Palm Beach Republican Party Chmn told me at a Christmas Party last year that the reason that the 2000 FL POTUS election was so close was that a significant number of the 40+% of Florida Jews who were/are Republicans decided in that election that blood was thicker than water & pulled the lever/butterfly wings for the Gorebot & his ethnic VP Joe Lieberman.

Wexler himself is oddly a PR genius of sorts, but extremely heavy-handed, slow-witted and wrong-footed, as he demonstrated on Steve Colbert's TV show in front of a huge national audience concerning his take on porn. He may squeak through to re-election, but odds are tnow hat statewide office might be beyond this ambitious but slow fellow's reach.
