Florida Governor Charlie Crist
JERUSALEM (AP) -- Florida Governor Charlie Crist has taken time out during a trade trip to Israel to visit Jewish and Christian holy sites. Crist visited the Western Wall, and left the traditional handwritten prayer between its limestone blocks, which once were part of the Biblical Jewish temple. The Florida governor's prayer, on his official stationary, asked for protection "from storms and other difficulties."
Crist also visited the Mount of Olives, from which Jesus entered Jerusalem. But Israel's English-language daily newspaper, The Jerusalem Post, misidentified the governor with a headline and photo caption that said "Christ visits Jerusalem."
