Harris caught in fallout from bribery scandal

Senate run, U.S. Rep. Katherine Harris is having to answer questions about a California defense contractor who prosecutors say illegally funneled thousands of dollars to her campaign in 2004.

Harris became a hero to Republicans when she oversaw the disputed 2000 ballot count that gave George W. Bush a crucial 537-vote victory in Florida. She was elected to Congress in 2002 and re-elected in 2004.

1. Ahhhhhhh!

Poor Kathy.

[stepnw1f]

2. Good

One more GOP Piggy goes down!

[sarcasmo]

3. Kick and Nom for another Republican scum bag taking money

from Contractors.

[Strathos]

4. Fry the bitch

She's horrible!

[Mr_Spock]

18. I totally agree - her and anyone who would vote for her!

This is like Cruella Deville get's caught eating her subjects as they enter the voting booth - none of whom were swayed by the carnage :eyes:

[judaspriestess]

5. hahahaha

this does not even compare to how bad she screwed this country over. War monger bitch

[calimary]

6. Oh Happy Day!

Take her down, TOO!!!

[Hardrada]

7. Can they tar and feather Alien Life Forms??

[calimary]

12. She's already got those in her makeup kit.

n/t

[Thor_MN]

15. First things first. Gotta get through the makeup. The tar won't stick

A 4 hour soak in acetone might do it, but better have some methylene chloride on hand.

THEN, we can decide if tar will stick to the scales....

[Hardrada]

30. Let's hope so!

There's a town called Thor's Hammer in MN down by Spring Grove. Your monicker reminded me of it!

[Botany]

8. $32,000.00 in $2,000 checks to K. Harris = Bribe

After getting the money Harris voted for the MZM (Duke Cunningham's fav company)
project ...... Sounds more like a bribe campaign contributions.

"Prosecutors said they are continuing to investigate and won't say if Harris is a subject."



Rot in hell Harris ...... One Diebold machine in Volusia County, Florida produced
a negative 16,000 votes for Gore after ABC, CBS, & NBC all had called the race for Gore.

[Greeby]

9. hey, new boobs are expensive

:eyes:

[OKNancy]

10. There have been several thread discussing this

so this isn't really breaking news.

11. Good, that bitch needs to be thrown out of power

and any old excuse will do it, legitimate or not. She's done enough damage to the people of Florida and they're going to have to fumigate the whole state once she and Jebbie are gone to some state that's nutty enough to welcome them, maybe Texas or Alabama (although I'm not sure about Texas, it's waking up slowly).

I don't care HOW they get rid of her as long as she's GONE.

[AndyA]

13. What would Ann Coulter say if this were a Democrat?

Drag the Bitch through the streets tied to the back of a pickup truck! Let bystanders club her body as it passes!! Have a church bake sale set up at the end of the run.

Harris deserves whatever she gets, as long as it's horrible.

:eyes:

[cascadiance]

22. As I've said before in other threads... Coulter and Harris...

should share a prison cell in Florida! Provided we can replace Jeb Bush with someone that won't let them off the hook there!

[Joanne98]

14. YES! Life is gooooood!

[Catfight]

16. She's Osama's best friend. She ruined this country when she cheated

for bush. Her going down isn't enough...she should be hung for treason.

[ChiciB1]

36. She's Cheated More Than Once!

We thought she was a goner the last time out! She would be nothing, if she didn't have all the Bushies behind from the past. This time out... she's having trouble!

They've dumped her I'm sure, so now she's in this pickle!

Kick her OUT!!

[libodem]

17. Burn in hell, Karen

:evilgrin:

[Mr_Spock]

19. She;'s already living in hell on earth

Does she realize that literally MILLIONS of people would pump their fist in the air and scream YEAH!! if she was run over by a bus??

She may be more hated that Bush - if that's even possible.

[aquart]

20. Talk to me when she's indicted.

Although what I really want is a printout of travel instructions to her public hanging.

[OnyxCollie]

21. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

[senseandsensibility]

23. "Katherine Harris is having to answer questions...."

That sounds very awkward. How about Katherine Harris is answering questions? If the writer wants to convey that she is not doing so willingly, there are other ways to word it. This is the standard for AP writers?

[MellowOne]

24. Hope she's brought down! n/t

[Dinger]

25. She Could Always Sue Her Plastic Surgeon For His Fuck Up On Her Face

She could get some money that way. Hmmm. Whaddaya think?

[Eugene]

26. knowingly did nothing wrong?!?!

From the article:

In his plea agreement, Wade acknowledged dining with Harris at a Washington restaurant in 2005
to discuss a possible fundraiser for her and obtaining funding for a Navy counterintelligence
program involving his company. The plan called for a location in Harris' Sarasota district.

<snip>

Katherine Harris and Mitchell Wade of MZM were practically in bed together.

Rot in prison Katherine Harris.

[f-bush]

27. She'd look great in Orange

and after she does time for this scandel, maybe she'll be prosecuted for stealing a federal election.

[snowbear]

28. Meanwhile she plans to host a "Reclaim Christ" Conference???

According to the front page of NewsMeat: http://www.newsmeat.com/

If Floridians vote her in, I'll never visit the Sunshine state AGAIN! (sorry mom who lives down there )

C'mon Florida!!

[loudsue]

32. Florida is a DIEBOLD state. They may not have voted her in the first

time! :shrug:

If we can get rid of those black boxes we're voting on, with the "privatized" computer programming, THEN we can get rid of the entire republican party -- forever!! :bounce:

:kick::kick::kick:

[autorank]

29. Nice, PhillpShore! Pay backs a "you know what" (can't say that word;)

She should occupy a cell right next to Duke Cunningham. Maybe they could play bridge or raise orchids together. Maybe she would convess how she helped plan the theft of Florida 2000.

Amazing. What a "short happy career" for this one.

[lala_rawraw]

31. Or the indian tribes supporting her...

While there are many indian tribes residing in Florida, none of them support Harris. However the two that do are the same two Abramoff clients who have no tribal connections in Florida or any tribal affiliations. How odd, no?:)

[loudsue]

33. Now THERE'S an interesting connection! I didn't know that!

That should prolly be part of the Abramoff investigation, too, shouldn'it it? :applause:

[sellitman]

34. Revenge is a dish best served cold!

Frog march the bitch to jail!

[ChiciB1]
