Cruella gets ready to play 'Hardball'
http://www.bradenton.com/mld/bradenton/news/politics/15607440.htm?source=rss&channel=bradenton_politics

U.S. Rep. Katherine Harris, whose race for the U.S. Senate has produced its share of fodder for the media, has been invited to be a guest this week on MSNBC's "Hardball with Chris Matthews."

The Longboat Key congresswoman, who is facing incumbent Democrat Bill Nelson in the November general election, is hoping this national appearance will give her the opportunity to address issues such as lowering taxes, making the nation's borders more secure and trimming the federal government's fat, said Harris spokeswoman Jennifer Marks.

During her last appearance on Aug. 31, guest host Norah O'Donnell asked Harris if her campaign was a "fool's errand," considering Nelson was projected to be ahead almost 40 points in the polls.

Harris responded by saying that polls could be made to say anything.

When asked about the campaign contribution scandal involving Congressman Duke Cunningham and the fact that she was questioned in the case by the U.S. Justice Department, Harris said the people of Florida weren't interested in such matters.

(end snips)

I may have to break my boycott and watch this episode. Wednesday, Sept. 27th. 5pm EST.

1. "polls could be made to say anything"
actually the first intelligent thing she's said.

5. Turns out the same statement could be made
about the touch-screen machines she verified for Florida voters.

2. Hope someone records the ' pearls of wisdom' that are
bound to drop from her lips.

For instance, the article mentions one topic to be discussed - sanctity of marriage...


Politicians say the darndest things
Published September 24, 2006

'Most people don't realize that the gay community is split on this, too.'
-- U.S. Rep. Katherine Harris

>snip<
But then the conversation turns to gay rights. And Harris is saying that it makes her so angry to see Bill Nelson pretend to be a devout Christian, while not wanting to constitutionally ban gay marriage.
>snip<

She tells me about her gay friend out in California -- the one who told her that part of the reason gays are gay is that they don't want normal lives. So they don't want to be part of the "normal" institution of marriage. That's when she says, "Many people don't realize that the gay community is split on this, too."

I start to take a sip of my coffee. But that was a bad idea, since my jaw is on the table and the hot liquid simply dribbles into my lap.

Wonder if she'll bring her own backprop?

9. She looks like Damn-it-to-Hell in the face to me!
I'm glad I didn't run into her out in the swamp when I lived in St. Pete! I'd have sworn off drinking, ASAP, if I had!

12. no worries,
you'd be able to see her coming, now.

Not much of Florida left.

It's been paved over - leading into Disneyworld, a Walmart parking lot, or gated community with finely trimmed lawns. :(

10. "I'm not a target " (of the investigation)
"I'm not a crook"

Can't wait until we don't have her to 'kick around' anymore, hopefully because she's behind bars.

11. She needs her ass kicked with a lead boot!
She will GO DOWN in history with the likes of Benedict Arnold...

Too stupid to be ashamed of the damage she has done to our country! May she rot in the hottest part of hell for her work!
