Kind of old to be a Katherine Harris groupie, ain't ya?
I was checking out story about Cruella's campaign miseries today and it was accompanied by a photo of itself with a "gentleman of a certain age"...to wit, this photo:



I thought to myself, "Egads, that bloke looks hauntingly familiar..." which set me off on a voyage to find out why, and I found that for which I was seeking right in my own photobucket account, in a shot from her congressional run.

It's the same old fella, isn't it?



If it was me, I'd be all over the want ads looking for an open Walmart greeter job.
Katherine Harris is laying off. :D

BTW, who the hell campaigns in a black cocktail dress while literally draped in an American flag? :(

6. I am getting really sick of this shit...
There is nothing inappropriate about what she is wearing.

She's a dirtbag, but DUers need to lay off the "whore, hooker, boob job" bullshit. It's degrading to women.

12. I didn't call her any of those names.
Edited on Tue Apr-04-06 02:01 PM by CottonBear
I simply think that that outfit is evening wear worn during the day and not therefore not appropriate for a serious and conservative political candidate to wear during the daytime. Perhaps a matching black jacket or cashmere or silk cardigan would have made the outfit day appropriate. I live in the South and would not wear that outfit to a county commisison meeting or to campaign for office. I would wear it to an evening campaign event or out to dinner.

edit: The outfit looks nice on her. She would look better with a tad less makeup but that's just my opinion.

18. So dirtbag is ok?
She's a GOP prostitute and that's a fact.

I'm sorry if that offends you.

Just callin' a spade a spade.

35. There is a distinct difference between...
calling someone a "whore for the GOP" and saying that she is dressed like a hooker.

32. She's the one that's degrading to women...
Edited on Tue Apr-04-06 03:14 PM by walldude
Maybe you haven't seen some of the videos but she uses her sexuality just like a prostitute. Look her up on Crooks and Liars, try the video where she is announcing her campaign. Then come back and tell us how she doesn't use her "boob job" and her sexuality to try to impress her "constituents". She is selling her body as much as she is selling her personality. I believe that is the definition of "prostitute".

edit: a link to that video I was talking about...

33. Honestly
Because she reminds me of a boss I used to have.

Looked like her in a way and had the same self serving attitude.


Oh, and then there's my funny habit of staying informed.

10. What do you think the Republicans and their lapdog media
would be saying if that were a Democratic candidate using the American flag as a shawl? Just asking.

Maybe we can get the Capitol Police to handle it. :sarcasm:

15. She's just balancing in heels while waving and holding a big sign.
Believe me, it's not easy to do in heels. At least her heels are Louis style and not stilleto.

19. That's her dad
He died a while back. The first picture was from 2002 when she first ran for congress and the other one must have been from early in her Senate race.

24. Well, he must have really loved his daughter to dress up in that outfit.
Edited on Tue Apr-04-06 02:47 PM by CottonBear
At least she was able to have her dad around to help her campaign. She was lucky. Not everyone is so fortunate to have their parents alive when they (the children) are adults.

36. All and all ...
it seems that he was very close to Katherine. She's a total puke, but she seems to have loved her father very much and he loved her too.

38. I loved my Republican, Ayn Rand fan, John Birch Society member dad.
He died when I was 17. He did teach me to keep up with current events, read the daily papers, watch the Sunday news shows and take a political stand. He never told me what or how to believe as far as poltiics went. He wanted me to get an education, be able to work for myself and to do my best and think for myself. I do think I took after him in that way!

I do miss him every day for the past 20+ years. I'm sure Ms. Harris misses her dad the same way

27. Yeah...I was just checking out the news from back then.
The county fired the 911 dispatcher for sending an ambulance but not the fire dept. to the tennis courts where he collapsed.
