NY Times columnist Gail Collins delves into Florida’s Democratic gubernatorial slugfest today, including allegaitons about drunken orgies on candidate Jeff Greene’s 145-foot yacht. Says Collins, “Being the rich candidate is not without its burdens. For one, there’s the matter of that yacht, the Summerwind. Greene might see himself as an upstanding family man, but his yacht is bad, bad, bad. It’s an embarrassing, headline-making connection — the Levi Johnston of boats.”

Despite Greene’s denials that his boat, the Summerwind, is a floating rumpus room, she continues:

Clearly, the Summerwind has a life of its own, cruising around the globe, burning 50 gallons of fuel an hour, throwing orgies for B-list celebrities while Greene is home reading. It played host to Lindsay Lohan, who Greene claims he’s barely met. It took Mike Tyson on a Black Sea cruise that culminated in a drug-and-sex romp in Amsterdam, but Greene was only around for the part where they visited an 11th-century monastery in Ukraine.
