Poor Katherine Harris
Edited on Thu Aug-04-05 11:24 AM by im10ashus
Just can't get a break can she? Apparently she is in a snit over newspapers "doctoring" her makeup in photos. As if they needed any help. What frightens me most about this article is she is planning a US Senate run. Yikes!



http://www.cnn.com/2005/POLITICS/08/04/harris.makeup.ap/index.html

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.

Jay Leno quipped at the time: "They had trucks in Florida bringing the ballots to Tallahassee. In fact, it's the same trucks they used to bring the makeup to Florida Secretary of State Katherine Harris."

cont'd...

1. Much as I despise her, noone deserves public ridicule for their
looks. Women seem to be "fair game" for this, and I think it stinks.

5. Excuse me? What about the big deal about Gore's haircuts or
his beard or anything else trivial that they thought up to tear him down?

2. "Poor" LOL!!!
Her checks are certainly going to be bouncing sky high. The GOP is abandoning her. Apparently, she's risen to the level of her incompetence and is no longer useful. :rofl:

3. She has been unable to produce one example...
of a doctored photo. Not one. Nuff said.

6. She's trying to get some sympathy, IMHO.
I agree with reply #1. We do tend to focus on looks and all that. Especially with women. I am more frightened of her Senate run than how much makeup she is wearing.

13. I can't remember how it's spelled, but I DO remember...
that my boss told my co-worker "We don't want to have our names associated with that bitch" when he suggested we could become her pollster for her house campaign.
