Lawmaker was Florida Secretary of State during 2000 recount
TAMPA, Florida (AP) -- Congresswoman Katherine Harris, who is running for a U.S. Senate seat next year, has again accused some newspapers of doctoring photos to distort her makeup as a way to poke fun at her.
In an interview on a conservative radio talk show Monday, Harris said some newspapers -- she didn't say which -- altered photos during the 2000 presidential election recount when she was Florida Secretary of State.
Democratic commentators and late-night talk show hosts lampooned Harris for her liberal use of cosmetics as she took center stage in the recount.
Harris, a Republican, was asked Monday by nationally syndicated radio host Sean Hannity whether the image bothered her.
"I'm actually very sensitive about those things, and it's personally painful," she said. "But they're outrageously false... Whenever they made fun of my make up, it was because newspapers colorized my photograph."
