Somebody Explain the Dave Barry Florida Joke

“Everyone makes fun of Florida. Florida has a bad reputation. But think about it. There are 23 million people in Florida, but is it fair to judge 23 million people because of the behavior of 21 million people?” — Dave Barry during last night’s Real Time Overtime segment.

I laughed right away even though I didn’t get the joke. Can someone please explain it? Most Floridians are dismissive rightwing scumbags…don’t say gay…something like that?
