No-shows batter beleaguered Harris

Of 9 officials on her flier, none attend an Orlando rally. She also revises an online list of supporters.

August 18, 2006 -- Katherine Harris' attempt to boost her campaign with a series of high-profile endorsements wilted Thursday when none of the officials appeared at her campaign rally and one of them said Harris wrongly included him on her list of supporters.

None of the nine officials listed on her event flier appeared, leaving Harris on her own to address a group of about 40 supporters, reporters and campaign-staff members.

Harris spoke in an airplane hangar that seemed to highlight the modest size of the crowd. She said a last-minute location change -- required because a tree fell on the hangar where the event was supposed to be held -- kept crowd numbers down.

Airport officials, however, said no hangar had been damaged by a tree and that the rally was in the hangar that had been originally booked.

Harris spoke for 10 minutes, saying she is the only candidate with the conservative credentials to defeat Nelson. When she finished, red, white and blue balloons dropped onto an empty stage, rendered unnecessary by the sparse crowd.

1. Airplane hanger - Dekker's Flight School?

[DoYouEverWonder]

24. LOL

Sorry, Orlando Executive Airport.

[BrotherBuzz]

44. Does Orlando Executive Airport have trees?

I was under the impression that trees around airports are as rare as snakes on planes. :shrug:

[DoYouEverWonder]

57. Looks like there's one tree

in front of one hanger?

[wordpix2]

88. bwahahaha, Cruella's karma is catching up with her

:nopity:

[RebelOne]

118. You are right. I don't think there are trees

near any airport hangars. At, least I have never seen any.

[Wise Doubter]

141. I haven`t seen either..

and probably never will ! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[TheCowsCameHome]

51. Leave this poor woman alone. Please.

She's still got tons of RW $$$ to piss away. Let her do it in peace.

Bwahahahahahahahahaha.

[Botany]

2. Please

She said a last-minute location change -- required because a tree fell on the hangar where
the event was supposed to be held -- kept crowd numbers down.

:rofl:

[wavesofeuphoria]

7. but they seemed to move those balloons fast ;)

[Kikosexy2]

74. Cruella...

should just face facts and come clean about the 2000 election theft and expose Bushco for the backstabbing, scumbags they really are since they all abandoned her...and maybe all will be forgiven...and that's a big MAYBE...

[Botany]

75. "they" would kill her in a heartbeat

and then go out for pizza and a ball game.

I wonder how much she was paid? And where is the money?

[PurpleChez]

116. I wonder who their trigger man would be.

It reminds me of a Reagan-era bit in the National Lampoon -- a 'Tales of the Crypt' parody called 'Tales of the Rhenquist Court.' In their attempt to halt school desegregation, Rhenquist orders gangster Scalia to shoot out the tires on a bus carrying Black kids to school. Then, when the kids ask how they're supposed to get home, O'Connor advises them, "link arms and walk -- it got your kind to Selma...."

Anyway...my vote is for Scalia. Cheney might be a better shot, but he's too highly placed.

Dang, I miss the Lampoon.

[sandrakae]

133. She reminds me of the slut that fucked the football team,

and never got a 2nd date.

[Ron Green]

3. Maybe she can introduce a line of costume jewelry.

I'd like to see her modeling it on the Shopping Channel.

[Richard Steele]

49. It could be a nice tie-in to her line of personal cosmetics.

[warrens]

40 INCLUDING STAFF AND MEDIA

That's pretty hilarious. Hell, I could probably draw 40 over in the park across the street without even trying. Put up a few signs, start giving a speech, I bet I could beat 40 easy.

[napi21]

83. That caught my eye too! If 40 included the staff and media,

just how many were supporters? I'm thinking under 10!

[A Simple Game]

130. Take it easy on Kate.

It's not like she has a lot of staff most of the time!

Also not many male media go to her events, being afraid of getting hit on.

So I'm guessing she probably had 20 to 25 supporters, that's enough to justify spending millions of Daddy's money on a Senate campaign.

[Greeby]

4. It's like kicking a lame dog in the street

In fact, I'm suprised she hasn't tried that to get some attention :eyes:

[ClintonTyree]

115. Yeah, I almost feel sorry for her.........

ALMOST, but not quite. She is one SERIOUSLY deluded woman right now and in my opinion, could use some professional psychiatric help. If she seriously believes the things she's saying she's become unbalanced. She made her bed though. She laid down with the Bush dogs and she got a serious case of fleas because of it.
I'd love to see her become unbalanced enough, vindictive enough and pissed off enough, to write a tell-all about her campaign 2000 activities. She'd never live to see the next sunrise if she did though. POOR KATHERINE! :cry: :rofl:

[Skip Intro]

5. She just made up the tree falling on the hanger story? Just made it up?

republicans just get stranger and stranger...

[soup]

28. It was a canker-filled terrorist tree!

>> Four years ago, as the state labored to eradicate citrus canker by destroying trees, officials rejected other disease-fighting techniques, saying unproven methods would waste precious time and resources.

But for more than six months, the state, at the behest of then-Secretary of State Katherine Harris, did pursue one alternative method — a very alternative method.

Researchers worked with a rabbi and a cardiologist to test "Celestial Drops," promoted as a canker inhibitor because of its "improved fractal design," "infinite levels of order" and "high energy and low entropy."

But the cure proved useless against canker. That's because it was water — possibly, mystically blessed water.

The "product is a hoax and not based on any credible known science," the state's chief of entomology, nematology and plant pathology wrote to agriculture officials and fellow scientists after testing Celestial Drops in October 2001.<<

Katherine Harris Reveals Indiana Terror Plot

Officials in Indiana and Washington say they're dumbfounded by a statement U.S. Rep. Katherine Harris of Florida made about a terrorist plot to blow up a power grid in Indiana.>snip<

A staff member of the U.S. House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, which oversees the nation's intelligence operations, said he had heard of no such plot.

And Indiana officials in the county where the power grid is located were at a loss to explain where the information originated.

In an interview Tuesday, Harris would not reveal the name of the mayor who told her about the threat or provide further details.<<

[JanusAscending]

96. That's why she's one of "shrubs own whores"

She's a lying Republican! That's what they do best. She's "disposable property" I for one, would love to see a woman like her SCORNED !! Imagine the garbage that would flow from that big mouth of hers!! ( Oh, by the way, there is nothing strange about it. This is their "normal" !!):crazy:

[MrCoffee]

6. Oh Katie...

even I can't laugh at that. That just breaks my heart. You don't give up, girlfriend. Fight to the bitter end.

[TreasonousBastard]

8. I'm almost feeling sorry for this deluded twit, even...

though I remember her part in the mess of 2000.

[MrCoffee]

11. Katie Remembers Too

She will remember how the party leadership abandoned her. She will remember the jokes, the eyes rolling, the snickering. She will remember how they all laughed at her.

She remembers what she did in 2000. Katie, honey, when you're ready to talk, we'll be all ears. Get it off your massive, surgically-enhanced chest. You'll feel sooo much better.

[DoYouEverWonder]

25. I bet Kathy

could us a few 'friends' right now.

[Raster]

34. NEVER feel sorry for KKKruela de Harris! When your grandkids ask

how the hell could a warmongering, immoral idiot like g. dumbya make it into the White House, you let them know that this miserable excuse for a human being held open the door. She was the rethuglican's first major assault against the will of the people and thrust a knife in the back of democracy.

[wordpix2]

89. I will never feel sorry for the bitch who let W steal the 2000 election

As far as I'm concerned, she should rot in jail with her millions liquidated to the US Treasury and that would be too good for her

[Raster]

102. Preach on, my Sistah!! I feel EXACTLY the same way. KKKruela

committed electoral treason and should suffer the highest penalty.

[Sydnie]

9. Best story I have read in days!

I SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO needed a laugh and that did it for me.

Thank you ... from the bottom of my heart ... for posting that.


And Katie, don't you be detered. Fight on!

[Botany]

16. I agree keep fighting Kate .... NGU

[Synnical]

10. Pic of big crowd

“They confirmed that they would be here,” Harris said. “I don’t know what the problem is.”

[johncoby2]

12. Yep, but check this photo out!

[spartan61]

14. OMG She needs to ask for a refund

on her numerous cosmetic procedures. She looks simply awful!!

[soup]

29. I hear she hired a new make-up artist.

[wordpix2]

90. better fire the dude fast

[jmowreader]

126. Who? Economy House Painting?

[Hubert Flottz]

18. She learned that look from her possum juggling adventure last...

week. She'd scare the face off of an iodine bottle.



Old Possumpuss is too damned ugly to win anything...well maybe an ugly contest.

[soup]

31. "possum juggling"

You do have a way with words, Mr. Flottz.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Hubert Flottz]

53. I don't know how true it is but...

I heard that Earl Scheib was doing her make-up now, on the campaign trail.

[malaise]

59. Damn this is one

fall down funny thread:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[wordpix2]

91. who is Earl Schieb? Her plastic surgeon?

[Norrin Radd]

111. Scheib is an auto painting chain, known for its low prices and low quality

eom

[RebelOne]

119. Yup, got a paint job from his company in Miami.

I picked a blue shade from the chart. After the car was painted, it turned out to be an awful turquoise color.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

41. "mine used to look that hairy, before the laser surgery

down there. They removed all sharp teeth and claws, too!"

[Hubert Flottz]

45. LOL...

Jaws like a bloodhound? I'm poking my index finger in my own minds eye, so it can't see anything so evil, as her old slithery, witchy, whatchecallit! And to think how Jebbie and George once loved and respected that, just six short years ago? And now we see the thanks she gets!

[SoCalDem]

68. That's animal cruelty.. I don;t know the circumstances, but

to grab a quiet nocturnal animal like that is cruelty. Oppossums may be "ugly" and scary looking, but they are a part of nature, and are very good parents to their young.. They eat insects, and do very little harm to anyone.. Shame on her..

[Hubert Flottz]

69. They were cooking the possums at that get together!

I saw a story about it on TV. It was some kind of function the'd put together for her campaign. I'm not kidding you.

EDIT...here's the story!

Marsupial Madness: Politicians seek votes at Possum fest
BILL KACZOR
Associated Press

WAUSAU, Fla. - Charlie Crist enthusiastically jabbed a plastic fork into the brown stringy meat on his plate alongside sweet potatoes and greens. He put some into his mouth, winced as he took his first chew, then swallowed and proclaimed it was "great."

Florida's attorney general, a Republican candidate for governor, got his first taste of marsupial Saturday at the Wausau Possum Festival that annually attracts more politicians than possums to this tiny Florida Panhandle town.

"It's delicious, a little greasy but good," Crist said. "It tastes like possum - like nothing I've ever had in my life."

Crist and his main opponent for the Republican gubernatorial nomination, Chief Financial Officer Tom Gallagher, skipped the possum parade down Wausau's main street - State Road 77 - and headed directly for the community center, the Possum Palace, for the main event: a possum auction. MORE...

http://www.bradenton.com/mld/bradenton/news/local/15207595.htm

Maybe she can be sElected Possum Queen?

Here's the story Keith Olbermann did about the Possum Queen Wannabee!

http://www.washingtonfix.com/story/2006/08/katherine_harris_possum_action.html

[SoCalDem]

71. OMG.. that's even worse

:puke:

[wordpix2]

92. agreed; holding an animal by the tail is cruel---but that's our Cruella

[jmowreader]

127. The possum agrees with you

I wouldn't imagine possums have retractable claws, but look at this one's feet...see how the claws are spread way apart like he wants to tear the shit out of her?

[acmavm]

40. She looks like she's gonna bust out crying.

[Hubert Flottz]

64. Where have I seen that face?

[Bluebear]

99. .

[Botany]

15. hahhahahahahhahahhahah

that picture; what a crowd

never give up Kate ..... victory is in your grasp ...... fight on

:rofl: :bounce: :wow:

:wow: :bounce: :rofl:

[A HERETIC I AM]

55. With that crowd and her experience, she could win by a landslide

hell..there's enough people there to elect her to Pope, for fucks sake!

Somebody oughta slap that woman and tell her to just go ride her horses.

Attach some lights to those boobies and she could ride at night so as not to scare the other horses.


"FRAU BLUCHER!" (Horses whinny in the distance)
"stay close to zee candles.....ze stairs can be twecherwous"

[Hubert Flottz]

60. I always think of this tune when I look at Miz Harris...

Frank Zappa - Yo' Mama Lyrics
Maybe you should stay with yo' mama
She could do your laundry 'n' cook for you
Maybe you should stay with yo' mama
You're really kinda stupid 'n' ugly too
(verse repeats)

You ain't really made for bein' out in the street
Ain't much hope for a fool like you
'Cause if you play the game, you will get beat

Maybe you should stay with yo' mama
She could do your laundry 'n' cook for you
Maybe you should stay with yo' mama
You're really kinda stupid 'n ugly too
And
You should never smoke in pajamas
You might start a fire 'n' burn yer face
Maybe you'll return to Managua
You could go unnoticed in such a place

[Tansy_Gold]

76. I'm no equestrienne, but

how can she ride if her feet don't reach the stirrups?

Oh, I know, the same way she can run for office if no one votes for her. . . .

Duh.


Tansy Gold, having one fucking helluva good laugh on this thread

[RebelOne]

120. I have ridden quite a bit in my life and owned horses.

And I can say that there is no way you can ride with stirrups that long unless you stand in them.

[NoPasaran]

82. It sure looks lonely in that room

Good thing she has the twins for company!

[mikeytherat]

13. OK, dammit; I'm almost starting to pity this woman.

Almost.

She's bound and determined to auger her campaign deep into the ground and, with each appearance she makes, it gets more and more pathetic.

Oh, it's still funny, but it's starting to get sad, and I'm pissed that I almost feel sorry for her.

Almost.

mikey_the_rat

[warrens]

23. She's still got $7 million to piss down the sewer

Keep sending her all those encouraging notes, telling her how you and all your friends can't wait to vote her in and that commie Nelson out. I want this bitch homeless after she gets 21 percent of the vote and depresses the GOP vote statewide. And my offer to find her a grocery cart is still on the table. She's already got the bag lady look; let's help make the finances match.

[mikeytherat]

27. I don't disagree with that.

But it's like seeing someone, no matter how bad, about to be crushed by a speeding train - and they have no idea it's coming. It makes me want to look away...

until the last few seconds.

:evilgrin:

mikey_the_rat

[arcane1]

54. almost... but not quite

let her go down in flamed (figuratively speaking) and learn the hard way what we already know: the Bush's are evil thankless sons of bitches (literally speaking)

[Skittles]

104. yes

my Democratic empathy kicked in too until I reminded myself of the damage that bush whore has done to America

[TahitiNut]

17. "I see dead people" ... voting.

[zbdent]

19. I'm hoping that this meltdown is real ... the Repukes running from her

faster than dogs from a lactose-intolerant incontinent skunk ...

[bigtree]

20. did you see her republican rivals?

here's one:

Another Politician Caught on Video
http://politicalwire.com/archives/2006/08/17/another_po...

[sandnsea]

21. The problem with liberals

When one of these slime buckets self destructs, we just can't muster up the glee that we always thought would accompany the crash and burn. I can't say I'm exactly at the pity stage, and it sure is worthy of a snicker or two, but I'm just not lovin' it like I thought I would. Damn stupid empathetic nature, grrr.

[bigtree]

22. oh, go ahead and laugh

[sandnsea]

26. Oh I laughed

I even showed the pics to my husband... I'd have just thought I would really be relishing every gaffe and faux pas with a sort of jumping off the couch triumphant glee... and yet in sneaks that bit of pity goddammit

[RonHack]

66. That's because you're human.....

Remember, many of these Republicans don't give a flying frog whether someone's in pain or not; they only look out for number one.

Oh, we may gloat for a bit, but when they resemble a back-broken squirrel in the middle of the road? What are the choices?

<1> Take the poor thing to a vet
<2> Give it a coup-de-grace, real quick, so no suffering
<3> Squish it under your car's wheels, laughing like a maniac

Guess which one Bush-and-Co would do, if the tables were turned on us?

[TahitiNut]

30. I'm a liberal. If she crashed and burned ...

... I'd bring marshmallows. :grr:

[sandnsea]

32. Oh yes, well

there is always the cynical curmudgeon segment who purged themselves of all unnecessary empathetic emotions eons ago... which isn't a criticism or a compliment.. curmudgeons can be delightful.

[TahitiNut]

43. I personally have lots of empathy for people who actually suffer.

Failing to win an election to the U.S. Senate cannot be remotely called suffering in any way, shape or form. Portraying it as such, when millions and millions are suffering hardships and privations at the hands of this government (OUR government!), is hyperbole to the point of delusion.



"there is always the cynical curmudgeon segment who purged themselves of all unnecessary empathetic emotions eons ago... which isn't a criticism or a compliment.. curmudgeons can be delightful."??

Well, there is the self-righteous moralist segment who purged themselves of all unnecessary intellectual integrity eons ago... which isn't a criticism or a compliment.. moralists can be delightful!

[sandnsea]

46. Hence the word "unnecessary"

are you seriously trying to tell me you're a "carry the weight of the world on your shoulders" personality type? Didn't think so. I didn't say you were void of empathy, I said it doesn't surprise me that you wouldn't be bothered with "unnecessary" empathy for Katherine Harris - it's a curse/blessing of the curmudgeon, which I would think you would know you are and wear it proudly. Still, many liberals do have an over-developed sense of responsibilty character trait - which isn't a criticism or compliment either. Just an "is". From my point of view.

[erknm]

62. screw empathy

just enjoy the vision of the republicans, for a change, self destructing.

gottaluvit

[Tansy_Gold]

78. I'm with you!

There are plenty of people for me to feel sorry for, people whose problems are not of their own making and who have no means to alleviate their sadness, grief, misery, poverty, illness, hopelessness.

I have not one speck of pity for Katherine Harris, none, zip, zilch, nada, ningún pedazo. I am delighted, indeed overjoyed to see her the butt of jokes, the focus of frivolity, the locus of levity, the height of hilarity and the depth of derision. She's worked hard to get to this point, she's earned every epithet tossed her way, she deserves every scintilla of scorn heaped on her aquanetted, L'Orealed head.

Stew in your own juices, Kath, and we'll stick a fork in ya to let ya know when yer done, hon.


Tansy Gold, the pitiless

[Subdivisions]

79. Bahhahahahahahahah!

C'mon! This is great.

This is the funniest thing I've seen in the last 6 years!

[wordpix2]

93. just remember how she helped W steal '00 with her sanctimonious legalese

She outright stole that election and she's just reaping the karma she's sown.

[Rex]

33. LOL! Too funny watching the GOP shiet all over Cruella.

The self loathing and hate shown are amazing. Cruella must be going insane over the shunning. Spill the beans Cruella! Those people just want you to fail! Come clean with America! Boost your ratings!

[wordpix2]

94. question: why are repukes shunning her after she helped * steal the WH?

I know she's ugly but....:rofl:

[nxylas]

131. I was wondering that

You would have thought she'd be considered a "great American" by all the Freepers and Dittoheads.

[malmapus]

35. Just the mental image I'm getting of all these red white and blue ballons

falling on an empty stage is giving me the giggles, maybe even a solitary clap echoing in the hangar LOL

[graywarrior]

36. As an ex-Sarasotoan, and seeing Harris many times, I have to say

this woman's thoughts is not based in reality. She is truly mentally ill.

The Bush administraiton shuns her because they see themselves in her. She believes every lie she tells. Because she got away with stealing the election for George, she thinks she can lie her way through this election.

I just hope she keeps in the game, not that I think Nelson is such a great senator, but like gazing upon a bad car accident, it will be fun to watch her crash and burn. That may be cruel, but dammit, she deserves it.

[tgnyc]

37. If a tree falls on a hangar, and nobody's there to hear it,

do Katherine Harris's supporters make a sound?

[Mabus]

38. and this is the nutbag that gave the 2000 election to Bush

:cry:

[Stinky The Clown]

39. What a sorry sack of shit she is

[AndyA]

42. Poor Katherine Harris - she threw a party, and no one came!

Complete with red, white, and blue balloons, too.

I predict she'll be throwing other kinds of parties in the future:

- Denial

- Loser

- Pity

Then she will drop off the face of the Earth, and cease to exist for most of the population. She's already done enough damage, being forced into the world of a has-been is better than she deserves, but will likely amount to personal torture for Harris.

[davidinalameda]

47. you almost have to feel sorry for her

almost mind you

[Disturbed]

50. Why do Katherine Harris posts get so much attention?

Maybe because she typifies what the RW has devolved into? Liars, hypocrites, arrogant weasles, greedy, self centered, delusional jerks. Add your own attributes of the new RW.

Is she the object of the disgust and loathing that many feel toward the RW Fascist Assholes that are screwing up America and causing misery for millions here and around the world?

[RonHack]

70. Maybe Harris IS the Weapon of RongWing Destruction!

That got me to thinking: What if Katherine Harris is trying to do for the Republicans, what Lieberman is doing for the Democrats?

I mean, take a lookie here:

(snip)

Despite her problems, Harris remains popular with many conservative voters who think she is being pilloried by what she calls the "liberal media." And Harris has lined up a number of endorsements, including those of U.S. Sen. Mel Martinez and U.S. Rep. John Mica, R-Winter Park.

Mica, who was among those officials missing from Thursday's rally, called Harris "a dynamo" and a "great representative."

Not everyone backing Harris is so upbeat.

This week, as Harris made the rounds at a Winter Park political gathering, U.S. Rep. Tom Feeney said he continues to back her -- but he does so primarily out of a sense of duty.

"I endorsed Congresswoman Harris a year ago," Feeney said. "I made a commitment, and I'm going to live up to that commitment."

Feeney was then asked why he offered such a tepid endorsement.

"I won't disclose publicly what I said to Katherine privately," he said. "But that notwithstanding, she decided to run."

(paste)

Maybe not insanity, then? Revenge? A little sabotage?

I find it hard to believe that she is THAT insane. Not if she rigged an election.

[Skidmore]

48. "40 supporters"? Not exactly overwhelming support and

huge crowds she is drawing down there. Karma can really bite.

[TheCowsCameHome]

56. 40 supporters sounds more like what's in her brassiere drawer

[opihimoimoi]

67. She musta PAID for them 40 to show up.....Its called RENTACROWD

Somethin Bush does all the time...

[subterranean]

125. How many of the 40 were her campaign staff?

[baldguy]

52. Are we sure this isn't a Fox Reality Show with Harris as the "star"?

"Who Wants To Be A Senator!"

[KikiDisme]

58. Please stop!

I just spewed iced tea out of my nose! That picture of her with the grimace that may have been meant as a smile did it for me.

I can't feel sorry for her thanks to the 2000 fiasco. I live in Tallahassee and couldn't go near downtown for weeks because newspeople were walking up to locals at the downtown farmer's market and such and asking questions like, "How does it feel to be the laughingstock of the world?" as if it was our fault!

I think she should save what's left of her inheritance and use it to hire a good lawyer who can tell her if she can get immunity for ratting out the people who put her up to breaking the law as our secretary of state. She doesn't have a chance against Nelson.

[TheCowsCameHome]

61. Welcome to DU! Enjoy the ride.

[moose65]

63. Geez this is effin' pathetic!

And I'm enjoying every minute of it. To see that picture of the crowd and the grimace on her face as she tries to "remain upbeat".. LMFAO!! Oh, Karma is a bitch, all right!! Run, Cruella, Run!! Piss away the rest of your money so you'll have to write that tell-all book! Just be sure to stay away from small airplanes!

[opihimoimoi]

65. She was the GOPs POSTER GIRL in 2000.She helped steal the Fla Election for

Bush

All that EVIL is coming back to haunt her big time.

EVIL DOES NOT PAY IN THE LONG RUN

The GOP must accept responsibility for her rise to fame..she is their Poster Girl complete with pneumatic Spunky and Moxie

[Oreo]

72. What are the chances she spills the beans on 2000?

If she gets ripped enough by the repubs... if she goes (further) off the deep end what would keep her from telling what really happened in 2000 and how she helped to steal the election?

We can dream...

[Buns_of_Fire]

73. I can almost feel sorry for her.

It's like giving a party and inviting all your closest friends -- and then none of them show up. The carpets have been vacuumed, the chips and dip have all been laid out on the table, and you sit there, twiddling your thumbs and glancing at the clock until it finally dawns on you that they're not coming. The bottles of soda sit in the cooler, getting warm. The munchies, carefully prepared, begin to go limp. You look around and wonder what the room would look like with people in it. You catch a small tear in the corner of your eye, and wipe it away, before finally going to bed.

And then I remember my son in Iraq.

And then I remember how she was instrumental in placing that ignorant, arrogant, swaggering sack of rancid monkey nuts in the White House.

And then I don't feel sorry anymore.

[Hubert Flottz]

77. I feel sorry for our country!

And I hope your son makes it back safe and sound!

[Buns_of_Fire]

103. Thank you...

He's supposed to come back next month, but we know how THAT works these days.

80. this isn't just a train wreck slamming into a wall...

this is that same train, slamming into the wall, backing up and doing it over and over again.

[Pacifist Patriot]

81. I've seen a couple of Harris for Senate bumper stickers...

I so have to speed up to see what the lobotomized automaton looks like who is driving such a vehicle. Imagine being proud to support her? That takes some guts....for brains.

[timontheleft]

84. This part is alarming:

"Despite her problems, Harris remains popular with many conservative voters who think she is being pilloried by what she calls the 'liberal media.'"

This has tuned into such a side show I'm not sure how she could be "popular" with anyone. That has to be a really strange bunch of folks.

But I may as well enjoy the show while it lasts. :popcorn:

[tanyev]

85. The delusion is strong in this one.

[nuxvomica]

86. It's disturbing that she doesn't just break down and cry

I don't think it's cuz of moxie or stupidity or stubbornness. I'm afraid it's probably because there's still a group of people who nonetheless support this walking "snakes on a plane" because she is one of the few who share their extremist views. How sad that conservatives have the likes of her and George Allen for heroes.

[citizen snips]

98. That is because she does not have a conscience

[Canuckistanian]

87. My favorite part...

This week, as Harris made the rounds at a Winter Park political gathering, U.S. Rep. Tom Feeney said he continues to back her -- but he does so primarily out of a sense of duty.

"I endorsed Congresswoman Harris a year ago," Feeney said. "I made a commitment, and I'm going to live up to that commitment."

Feeney was then asked why he offered such a tepid endorsement.

"I won't disclose publicly what I said to Katherine privately," he said. "But that notwithstanding, she decided to run."

Moments later, Feeney added, "It's very sad."

[wordpix2]

95. "It's very sad:" what's sad is what Bush has done to our country thanks

to that witch

[Canuckistanian]

97. True, we often forget what Harris did to this country

I remember 2000 vividly and the role "that witch" played in it.

Historians will study that moment in time and recall it as one of the worst in American history.

[citizen snips]

100. I wish I was there

so I could laugh at her.
:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Bluebear]

101. NEVER give up, Kate! Spend, spend, spend that dough!

You are NOT that far behind! :rofl:

[Miss Chybil]

105. This is the woman who was in charge of Florida elections in 2000.

This is the woman who held the fate of our country in her hands. This is the woman who made major decisions about how the election was to be run and concluded. This insane, narcissistic, incompetent, lying, manipulating, piece of shit was IN CHARGE of our future. It's unbelievable still.

[autorank]

107. "The Horror:..this is the "mother of Bush".it's our life but not by choice

[connecticut yankee]

117. She thought they'd reward her

for all her hard work.

Shows what you get for trusting a Repuke!

[tiptoe]

106. You could hear the sound of balloons dropping. nt

[NJCher]

108. Thank God she's imploding

I think that to feel sorry for Katherine Harris, one would have to have some history a of similar type venture, where there was no chance and I mean no chance whatsoever of winning. There has to be some basis for identification. In this history, regardless, of the circumstances, one ventures forth, bungling all the way, and the situation goes from bad to worse.

Now who does stuff like that? Answer: people who are in denial. This woman is off in her own fairyland and she probably has been all her life. And the consequences? I need not point them out, as Miss Chybil has already done so.

What the hell kind of system puts people like her, bush, and cheney in positions that determine the fates of millions of decent people (but also millions of apathetic assholes who can't be bothered to vote)? If it's this bad (and it is), the entire system should go down, 100%.




Cher

p.s. Thanks for posting that pic, Synnical. It just says it all, doesn't it?

[silverweb]

109. She *has* to have mental problems.

I don't know why I continue to be surprised at the shit she says and does, but only a truly deluded, mentally ill person would continue to say and do these things.

:crazy:

[Blackthorn]

110. As much of a train wreck as her campaign is...

I'd still bang her...

I know that's gonna upset a few breakfasts, but really, I'll school her on Bush while she takes some hot Australian snag. Trust me.

[Pierre.Suave]

113. That is so...

disgustingly funny...

[Hubert Flottz]

114. Krykeee, you must have a serious grudge against yo snag dude!

I don't even wanna think about the pouch on that marsupial vixen from hell, before breakfast.

You gotta' be THE "Crock Hunter" if you want to tangle with a scary assed thang like that!

[Blackthorn]

138. No, I just believe in letting him live by experience.

But at any rate; You're holding her down, from behind, with a handful of hair, whispering in her ear "You wanna get fucked like you fucked Florida, don't you, you dirty slut".

It's a porn film waiting to happen.

[DarkTirade]

112. Katherine Harris? Lie? I just don't believe it.

/sarcasm

[ncteechur]

121. I predict an October surprise for K. Harris--

she will pose in Playboy to garner new support for her struggling campaign.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

122. the new face of GOP morals.

"Hey, meet my two best friends" or was it brest fiends?

[varkam]

123. Sweet, sweet schadenfreude.

I really don't feel sorry for Harris in the slightest. She's brought this entirely upon herself by running an extremely bad campaign, plus she was part of the mechanism that gave us Pr. Bush. That's why I, for one, am not filled with sympathy but rather sweet, sweet schadenfreude. :smoke:

[orleans]

124. this is hysterical! n/t

[brg5001]

128. She has the Tom Delay syndrome

Living in Florida gives me a chance to enjoy "The Katherine Harris Show" every day!


Ms. Demagogue claims, and I'm not making this up, that the Repuke establishment opposes her because she's a TRUE CHRISTIAN. Like Tom Delay, who blamed his downfall on the "LIBBBERALLL anti-Christian" media, Katherine Harris appeals to the "Christians are VICTIMS"-crowd. That's her base. It's also Tom Delay's base, and now, it's Shrub's base as well.


They are truly the American Taliban.

[NNN0LHI]

129. You should have seen the size of the tree that fell on that hanger

It was HUGE!!

Don

[Pacifist Patriot]

132. Don't you mean HUGH! (nt)

[Tansy_Gold]

134. Your not series, are you Don.

If you would of been series, you would of knowed its spelled "hugh."


Tansy Gold, who had to keep correcting her corrections to make them misteaks

[tekriter]

136. absolutely!

That's what I was wondering, too...

I work near an airport and I can see the hangars from my office - a tree that was tall enough to fall and squash a hangar roof would have to be a California Redwood or something similar.

[2QT2BSTR8]

135. The pictures from this story are priceless!

I am actually have number 2 framed and laugh at it all the way through elections while I throw darts at another copy posted on my porch.

A tree on a fallen hanger and having to move your "fund raiser" = $4800.00
The amount money that that Harris had to pay just to put butts in the hangar = $12,000,000,000,000.00
The price of seeing her tired and wrinkled face looking like a rat on the Titanic =
PRICELESS

[Marr]

137. You know what Katherine Harris ought to do?

She's been stabbed in the back by the party she helped install. She has zero chance of winning this election, so all she can really do is damage the people who destroyed her.

She should come out and say, "I helped rig the 2000 election for GW Bush and this is how they repay me?!"

:)

[2QT2BSTR8]

140. I think that they have to much on her.........

For her to even consider coming out against them. Whether its on her, her family, her money, who knows maybe all three or more for her to consider even talking. I would say that I am surprised she is not spitting blood from biting her tongue so hard, but of course we already know she has a forked tongue.

[DainBramaged]

139. Harris; stale bread, just deserts
