Check out this LAFF RIOT of a letter I got from the Katherine Harris camp.
My mom somehow got ahold of this and she mailed it to me with a Post-It on top that said, "Don't forget to contribute your maximum to Bill Nelson." Love ya, Mom.



And for those wondering, the e-mail address is ssingham@ssd.com

This is "grassroots" to the Harris campaign...meet-n-greets in the most richest part of Miami. Way to reach out to the common folk.

1. Maybe she'll go bankrupt?
Liquidating her assets?

That's just dumb... Really risky, no certainty of being elected...

7. She doesn't strike me as the type
I would bet she's either got a job or another nest egg stashed somewhere.

I don't think she believes enough to risk everything like that.

18. Or she sold the house to a donor to get around
limits and disclosures? This method was part of the way they bribed IOC members into picking Salt Lake City for the Olympics. The bribers overpaid for Utah real estate in quick turnaround sales.

21. Maybe she can sell it to her and Duke Cunningham's buddy,
and make a nice profit on it.
Of course, in this desperate fire sale atmosphere, she may not get enough to run her campaign. Boinnnnnng! That's why she needs more suckers to pony up.
We all know she can't make it on looks alone.

I'm just amused that one of her biggest supporters is a guy named Shanker.
One festering sore deserves another.

2. Shanker? Hmm...
Phonetically speaking, isn't that a syphilitic lesion? The perfect host for Ms. Harris!

3. Your fundraiser has a name that rhymes with WANKER??
Good grief!

All of those names on that letter sound a bit porn-star-ish to me...or at the very least, like quickly thought up aliases!

a couple of hundred local DUers showing up with copies of this letter.

10. What a bummer, I'm indisposed that evening!
I'd like to ask Katherine about her new rack. If it is in the really nice part of town you know they will have the really scrumptious hor d'oeuvres too.

It is too getting hard to sneak in those kind of affairs anymore with all this security stuff anyway.

17. LOL! Only she blew it all shortly thereafter, so not really.
Decided to spend her inheritance getting blown out in a Senate election. Not a good way to "build prosperity" I'd say.

19. Dear Chancre, sorry I won't be able to make it. >>>>>
We're wintering in the Azores, but good luck with that. Oh, by the way, have you found a couple yet? I don't know WHAT we're going to do when we return to Gables-by-the-Sea. Consuelo and Jesus moved up north to be with their families in Massachusetts, I guess the underground railroad is alive and well, what? Ha ha! Anyhow, hope you and missus are well, give our love to Eric and Joseph and see you soon. Kisses, Missy and Worthington.

24. Rumor amongst repubs here is that she is not that stupid to
leave herself with nothing. She's got something stashed away. And, btw, these repubs hate her.
