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."

Harris, a Republican, was asked Monday by nationally syndicated radio host Sean Hannity whether that 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 makeup, it was because the newspapers colorized my photograph."



"Harris appears at a "W is for women" campaign event in 2004."

5. Oh the humanity! Leno said she wore a lot of makeup!

That's certainly the most outrageous, malicious thing the media did in 2000, and the first thing they should all atone for, alright.

7. Hey Katherine -- "You're in Deep Denial, lady!!!"

You REALLY DO look THAT bad. I saw your grotesque visage on live TV back then, do you think they were able to digitally re-touch you as it was being broadcast?

A lot of people delude themselves into thinking they look better than they do - in your case you are probably putting on your makeup in dim light. Thanks for going public with this so we can laugh at you!!!! HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!!

:evilgrin:

8. Kathy, honey, it wasn't the newspapers...

The people who were giving you hell saw you on TV or in person.

You're not supposed to use the whole bottle EVERY morning.
