Harris goes wild: turns on staff, GOP
Apr 4, 2006

Questions Dog Harris Behavior
By WILLIAM MARCH and KEITH EPSTEIN
The Tampa Tribune

TAMPA - Changing locks on her campaign headquarters and accusing her staff of disloyalty and her own party of spying on her are signs of erratic behavior that some Katherine Harris staff members say has worsened since her father's death.

Harris is restaffing her campaign and will announce new key staff members today, a campaign spokeswoman said Monday.

But in the past 10 days, Harris has:

•Had locks changed and posted a security guard at the door of her campaign headquarters in Tampa and had former staff members escorted in to retrieve their belongings.

•Told a gathering of supporters in Cocoa Beach on Saturday that the Republican Party had "infiltrated" her campaign staff to put "knives in my back."

•Told a reporter that a longtime, trusted political adviser had leaked a story about her staff members quitting, then called back to retract the comments.

•Announced hiring her new staff without identifying them.

..........

Former campaign manager Jim Dornan, who left in November, called the most recent events in the campaign "unbelievable."

15. She fits right in with her idol, bush
He's a loony tune too. Limbaugh, Coulter, Boortz, Hannity, Cheney (who actually seems "sane" compared with the rest), Rumsfeld, DeLay, the whole damn bunch of them. Lock them all up in a rubber room somewhere and just let their slide into whatever alternate world they inhabit continue.

So glad I left. Florida used to be a nice place.

Anyway, good thing those knives didn't go into her back too deep or she would have gone flying around the room like a blow-up doll!

That would be very good. Maybe she'll spill the truth if she gets agitated enough.

There's a first!
"Told a gathering of supporters in Cocoa Beach on Saturday that the Republican Party had "infiltrated" her campaign staff to put "knives in my back.""

Blaming Republicans?

I need to look outside...I think a pig just flew by the window. That is, if it were anyone but this insane tool (or maybe it should be fool).

As any good republican will tell her why is she worried about being spied on if she is doing nothing wrong...hahahaha...

33. The Bush junta is based on such profound lies--lying such as we have
never before seen in this country in any our lifetimes (and we've seen some doozies)--that it doesn't surprise me to see some of them start freaking out. Everything they say is a lie. Everything they do is a coverup They've spun such a web of deception, that now some of them are suffering existential angst, having lost track of who they are, as persons, as human beings. And they're such low-minded, greedy, manipulative people, they can't help but implode outward, blaming everybody else but themselves.

"Oh, what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive!"

Spin, spin, spin! Everything is spin. Empty, nothing, lies. But those thin, almost invisible, threads, that they have wrapped around themselves, by their agitated turning from one false position to another, are starting to stick together and overlap and form a cocoon of Bushism, trapping these liars inside. Harris' ugly twitches are just a symptom of the larger phenomenon. The "Big Lie" they have been foisted off on the rest of us is starting to eat itself.

36. I'm no fashion expert, but where in the world does this woman buy
her clothes?

That blouse looks like Reynolds wrap.

And at least two of the male attendees for this function are staring at her breasts.

Maybe she should change the lock on those, too.

And Harris is certainly someone I'd expect to understand the sleazier functionings of the Republican Party.

election. She's also power mad.

How far will Rove go to shut her down and shut her up?
