'Flake factor' plagues Harris Senate campaign (Carl Hiassen)

[TomInTib]

To refloat her foundering Senate campaign, Rep. Katherine Harris says she's investing $10 million of her own dough.
The donation would be legal, unbundled and untainted -- a bold experiment for the Longboat Key Republican.
Until recently, Harris wasn't particularly picky about where she got her money, or how suspicious it looked. One major booster recently pleaded guilty to paying more than $1 million in bribes to another GOP congressman, Randy ''Duke'' Cunningham of California.
Defense contractor Mitchell Wade admitted buying off Cunningham, and also funneling thousands of dollars illegally to Harris. Harris says she didn't have a clue that the donations were dirty.
Meaning she's either a dunce, or she's lying.

1. I spent most of the day at the Sarasota County Fair where

there are lots of political booths set up. Katherine is the talk of the runway. Mostly pity, even by repubs.

2. Sounds like Harris would make a great character in one of

Hiassen's books. There is usually one not-so-bright criminal in his stories. LOL!

4. I love Hiassen!!

His mystery novels set in Florida are laugh out loud funny - highly recommended. Ignore that stupid movie "Strip Tease" which is based on one of them - that was just so Demi Moore could dance around topless. The book is really funny.

5. I have read every one of them.
