Palm Beach Post interviews K.Harris campaign aides/managers-it aint pretty
What an incredible piece about a woman who is completely unhinged.

<snip>
Several aides said Harris was so obsessed with Starbucks coffee she insisted that Starbucks locations be mapped out when she was traveling from one campaign stop to another.

One aide recalled going to Harris' house for a day of fund-raising calls without bringing her a cup of Starbucks. The aide said Harris made it clear that it was expected he bring her a coffee when coming to her house.

Another time, the aide said, he went to dinner with other staffers after a full day of campaigning while Harris was attending a church conference in Fort Lauderdale. By the time he returned, Harris had called the campaign manager to find out where the aide was so he could bring her something to drink. The aide said he was incredulous because there was a water fountain nearby.

"She literally yelled at me in the hallway," the aide said. "She said, 'Never, ever do that again.' I just walked away."

<snip>
Harris also routinely belittled the efforts of her press aides and speech writers, saying their writing was "the worst she had ever seen," and spending hours rewriting their work, one aide said.

Once, her staff took a speech Harris had rewritten, saved it for about two months, and then gave it back to her as a proposed speech. Harris called it "terrible."

When the staff informed her she had written it, she said, "I guess I had a bad day."

5. I think Harris can still win if she sinks the rest of her money into it.
Katherine, if you're listening, take my advice and spend all the rest of your private fortune on campaign advertising. If you do, you'll win going away. I promise you will. Sure, you'll be broke, but being a Republican congressperson, you can make all that money back in bribes in just a year or two.

So go for it, Katherine. Pull out all the stops. Put all your money on the line and you'll win for sure. I promise. Trust me.

By the way, I think you look very sexy when you turn and pose sideways on Hannity and Colmes. You have a nice chest. And a nice warchest. Time to use them both.

6. Harris was the HERO in 2000 when it was revealed she helped Bush
in the campaign. The GOP LOVED HER....made it possible for her to be a US REP in the HOUSE.

The GOP is stuck with her........Moxie and Spunk included.
