Harris Says Newspapers `Colorized' Photographs, Distorting Her Makeup
By WILLIAM MARCH
wmarch@tampatrib.com


TAMPA - During the presidential election recount of 2000, Florida was in a white- hot spotlight, focused on a woman not accustomed to national publicity - then-Secretary of State Katherine Harris.

Harris' decision against a ballot recount made her a hero to Republicans and anathema to Democrats. She also was bashed for something else: her makeup.

One Democratic commentator compared her to Cruella DeVil of the Disney movie ``101 Dalmatians.'' Comic Jay Leno said a cold snap made Florida so chilly Harris ``put on a third layer of makeup.''

..CUT...

Asked Tuesday to point to an altered photograph, Harris and her staff could not.

..more of the poor witch's problem at link...

5. ?
I could say something about celestial drops, make believe terror alerts, being dropped like a hot potato by Dubya, etc. Makeup is the least of her worries. Somehow she doesn't think she got what she deserves.

:nopity:

6. I heard her make that claim on
Sean InSanity's show Monday. It was pathetic.

Even worse was when InSanity kept calling her "Senator" Harris.

These in-bred miscreants must be related

Isn't there a "B" movie about an aging movie star whose husband is a glorified mortician who does wonders with make-up, making the old look young?

12. Death Becomes Her has a backstory similar to that...
Edited on Wed Aug-03-05 10:32 AM by LizMoonstar
http://imdb.com/title/tt0104070/

The husband used to be a legendary plastic surgeon who went alcoholic and couldn't operate, so now he makes up corpses, and has to put that to use after his wife and mistress, hated rivals in Hollywood, take immortality potion and then manage to biologically kill each other without losing animation.


edit: man, I'm just not fast enough. btw, I love this movie!
