Broke Katherine Harris: Selling home to prove "I'm committed"...
HarrisWatch: I'm Sellin' My House... I Swear!
By Paul Kiel - October 18, 2006, 5:16 PM

The stage is set for Rep. Katherine Harris' (R-FL) dramatic last minute comeback. She's down 20 points in the polls. Her campaign is way behind in fundraising ($1 million in the bank compared to Sen. Bill Nelson's $6.8 million). She's a national laughingstock. But she's not giving up. She won't ever give up. In fact, she's even going to sell her Washington D.C. house.

That's right. To prove that she's "committed," Harris has said that she's selling her home to generate campaign funds.

All she has to do is find the right buyer. But as The Orlando Sentinel notes, Pink Sugar seems to be taking her own sweet time:

26. She just makes it too easy sometimes, doesn't she?

3. ATTA GIRL!!!!
I will repeat my pledge to visit Florida to help Kathy find her own shopping cart and point out dumpsters of potential. My fondest wish is to see that hag homeless, on the streets.

16. No she never spent that. Her sister threw a fucking fit.
Her sister put that smackdown on her when she said she was using daddy's money. Hell the money isn't even hers to use.

9. She might as well sell it
She won't need it anymore! She can just stay in Florida from now on, hopefully under a rock, where she won't be able to offend Democrats anymore.

24. How many believe Katherine Harris will end up in rehabilitation
...for abusing prescription drugs? She really is behaving like someone on klonopine or oxycoton.

klonopin side effects: Excitability, irritability, aggressive behavior, agitation, nervousness, hostility, anxiety, sleep disturbances, nightmares, vivid dreams, confusion, depression, amnesia, hallucinations, hysteria, increased libido, insomnia, psychosis, suicidal attempts, abnormal eye movements, aphonia, choreiform movements, coma, diplopia, dysarthria, dysdiadochokinesis, "glassy-eyed" appearance, headache, hemiparesis, hypotonia, nystagmus, respiratory depression, slurred speech, tremor and vertigo.


What are the possible side effects of oxycodone?
• If you experience any of the following serious side effects, stop taking oxycodone and seek emergency medical attention or contact your doctor immediately:
· an allergic reaction (difficulty breathing; closing of your throat; swelling of your lips, tongue, or face; or hives);
· slow, weak breathing;
· seizures;
· cold, clammy skin;
· severe weakness or dizziness; or
· unconsciousness.
• Other, less serious side effects may be more likely to occur. Continue to take oxycodone and talk to your doctor if you experience
· constipation;
· dry mouth, nausea, vomiting, or decreased appetite;
· dizziness, tiredness, or lightheadedness;
· muscle twitches;
· sweating;
· itching;
· decreased urination; or
· decreased sex drive.
• Do not stop taking oxycodone suddenly if you have been taking it continuously for more than 5 to 7 days. Stopping suddenly could cause withdrawal symptoms and make you uncomfortable. Your doctor may want to gradually reduce the dose.
• Side effects other than those listed here may also occur. Talk to your doctor about any side effect that seems unusual or that is especially bothersome including these SIDE EFFECTS:

...lightheadedness, dizziness, sedation, nausea, and vomiting. Other side effects include drowsiness, constipation, and spasm of the ureter, which can lead to difficulty in urinating.

Oxycodone can depress breathing, and is used with caution in elderly, debilitated patients and in patients with serious lung disease.

Oxycodone can impair thinking and the physical abilities required for driving or operating machinery.

Oxycodone may be habit forming. Mental and physical dependence can occur, but are unlikely when used for short-term pain relief.
