Meek calls Crist a"postalita"

Fox News on the 3-way, Florida Senatorial debate that will run tonight to a Spanish-speaking audience.

"He's [Charlie Crist] what my Hispanic friends would call a 'Postalita'", Rep. Kendrick Meek, the Democratic candidate, said using a Cuban slang word that translates roughly to a someone who is all show, and no substance . "Mr. Crist is someone that is willing to say ' Hey, I'm for everything on any day but we need leadership, someone to speak out."

According to Word Magic, postalita is a diminutive of "postal", which means "post card" or "stamp" in Spanish (kind of what it means here).

Which means Kendrick Meek called Charlie Crist a stamp.

And if you read the rest of Fox's report, that was hardly the worst he got.
