Just another day in the focked up life of Katherine Harris
:wtf:

Harris shoots, but cameras don't

Photographers and television crews, though invited, are prevented from taking pictures of Harris at a gun range.

By BRIDGET HALL GRUMET, Times Staff Writer
Published May 13, 2006

LAND O'LAKES - Katherine Harris was a pro with the .38-special, drilling holes through the center of a person-shaped paper target.

But the congresswoman's campaign staff missed the mark at Saturday's gun range photo op, said a local Republican Party official who organized the event.

Pasco County Republican Executive Committee chairman Bill Bunting fumed after Chris Ingram, the communications director for Harris' U.S. Senate campaign, tried to block photographers and television crews from taking pictures of Harris firing away.

"Katherine is welcome back at any time. She was gracious," Bunting said. "He's not. I think he was wrong, period."

Journalists had been invited to cover the event at the Hallelujah Land Ranch, but Ingram wanted to limit photos to a news conference after Harris finished target practice.

6. OMG - I can barely get past that name!
:rofl:

Then there's this:

Then she said her internal campaign polls show a tighter race in which Harris wins "if we turn out our base."

Then she must've added, "Have you met my internal pollster?", and gestured over her shoulder to an oversized drink pitcher with legs and shouted "Hey Kool-Aid!" :crazy:

4. WTF indeed. Why didn't they let the photog take some shots?
This was interesting:

"Now that I hit the target," Harris joked with reporters, "I wish you had been taking pictures."

She was taking a gun safety course. What would be the problem with using it as a photo op?

Weird.

5. Invite TV crews and photographers, then forbid them to take pics.
Oh yeah, that's a well-run campaign right there!
