Crist gets former hostages their DLs back

Rescued American hostage Keith Stansell jokingly issued this plea at a Monday press conference: "To Gov. (Charlie) Crist of the great state of Florida: Sir, I don't have a driver's license. How am I going to get home?"

Easy. Florida's Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles quickly responded by re-issuing licenses to the last known Florida addresses of Stansell, Marc Gonsalves and Thomas Howe, who respectively live in Bradenton, Big Pine Key and Meritt Island.

In addition, Gov. Crist slipped a personal note in each envelope.

Of course he slipped them a note, his nickname isn't "Photo Op Charlie" for nothing.
