Harris campaign awaits her cash

[DoYouEverWonder]

August 26, 2006

TAMPA - After months of hearing members of even her own party second-guess her run for the U.S. Senate, Katherine Harris said she would pump $10-million of her own money into her financially strapped campaign.

In an emotional announcement on national TV in March, Harris said she would use every penny her late father had left her.

Minutes later, while still in the New York studio where she made the announcement, Harris received a call from her sister. She and their brother were furious that she had not told them she was going to spend family money on her campaign, according to her former senior consultant Ed Rollins, who was with her that night.

In the days that followed, several former staffers, including Rollins, said Harris learned she would not directly receive any inheritance from her father. Instead, his assets, reported to be as much as $100-million, were left to her mother, Harriet.

OMG, she even lied about the money. LOL.

1. Barking-at-cars crazy, that woman is...

:crazy:

From the Urban Dictionary:

1. Katherine Harris crazy 155 up, 8 down

(n.) As insanely optimistic as Congresswoman Katherine Harris. Usually characterized by an overly optimistic estimation of someone's chances of achieving success.

Did you hear Jim just bought 500 dollars in lottery tickets? That boy is Katherine Harris crazy if he thinks he's going to hit the jackpot.

[kitkat65]

56. No kidding! Wonder what it's like to be so rich as to be bat-shit crazy.

[dipsydoodle]

2. Maybe she should be helped

by sending her empty bottles on which there is refundable deposit. Just a token jesture you understand - to occupy her trying to figure what to do with thousands of bottles littering up her lawn. :)

[DoYouEverWonder]

5. Unfortunately we doen't have refundable deposits

for bottles and cans in Florida.

[dipsydoodle]

8. Even better

Send them anyway. :rofl:

[Tight_rope]

57. LMBAO....Too funny!

[AndyA]

3. Harris' Father knew she would waste her inheritance, so he didn't

leave her anything. He knows of her addiction and overuse of makeup products, and predicts that given the opportunity, she'd have boobs the size of Dolly Parton's. He knew of Katherine's penchant for overdoing everything, and feared she would become some sort of sick joke, to be made fun of around the world, a comical character.

And Katherine has proven that she doesn't need her Father's money to do all that, she's done it anyway. (Except for the Dolly boobs, but she's got the starter kit in place.)

[orleans]

55. "I'm not going to tip my hand." harris said

of course she won't "tip her hand"

but she poses in profile for the cameras

(she reminds me of the wicked witch--someone needs to throw a bucket of water on her!)

[tanyev]

4. Oh, what about your widow's mite, Kathy? Your pearl of great price?

Friends and advisers say Harris has been deeply religious all her life, but religion recently has become a central part of her campaign. Campaign staffers warily describe Harris as leading a "Christian crusade."

Harris also hinted at her increased emphasis on her Christian faith when she talked to ABC's Nightline last week about spending $10-million of her own money to jump-start her Senate campaign.

"I am willing to take this widow's mite, this pearl of great price, and put everything on the line. No matter how much you have, are you willing to take what you have and sell it all for a great price," Harris said in the transcript provided by ABC News.

The widow's mite refers to a New Testament parable about a poor woman giving what little money she had to the temple.

Now people can not only be described as "Katherine Harris crazy", they can also be described as "Katherine Harris hypocritical". Or "Katherine Harris delusional".

[MADem]

50. Hmmm, I always thought that pearl was a hymen!

And we know she ain't totin' one of them around nowadays....

This bit slayed me:

"I'm selling everything I have," she said repeatedly. Harris donated $3-million to her campaign, though she later took back $100,000 - a move that fueled speculation that she did not have the $10-million.

Now, five months later, Republican operatives and political watchers say the Harris campaign may have seen the last of her personal resources. They doubt she will put more money into a race almost no one expects her to win.

"She's crazy if she puts in $10-million of her own money," said Brian Ballard, a Republican fundraiser in Tallahassee.

"She might as well put it in the middle of the street and light a match," said Pat Roberts, a Republican lobbyist and longtime Harris friend....

[Tight_rope]

58. I just love the way Pat Roberts stood by Katherine.

[Richard Steele]

6. Her own father felt she wasn't competent to manage her financial affairs.

So he left her inheritance under her Mom's control.

Not like we NEED any ammo against her, but
this would be a good talking point if we did.

[soup]

7. The $100,000.00 she withdrew from the campaign

was to renovate her home theater?!

Damn.

Start poppin' Kat. We're all coming over to watch the election results at your place. :popcorn:

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

9. I hate to say, but I'm feeling just a bit tinfoil here.

K.H. knows all the sordid details of election 2000.

K.H. was easily manipulated to provide assistance. She was then thrown the bone of a congressional seat.

K.H. is now wanting more. However, no amount of rigging will get K.H. into a Senatorial seat, even if the cabal was inclined to invest time and money into her election. Which they're not.

So, the cabal is returning to its bag of dirty political tricks. The psyche of K.H. will not be able to assimilate the utter discounting of her by those to whom she has utter loyalty (unless she's asked to take something less than she wants).

However, she did sell her soul in November 2000, at their behest.

So, the withdrawal of support, the public ridicule and, apparently, the planting of operatives in her campaign will cause an escalation of her emotional behavior. She will self-destruct.

As other posters have said, her credibility regarding election fraud 2000 will then be damaged, probably beyond repair.

I used to revel in her missteps and gaffes, however, now I just hope once she's thoroughly used and discarded by the cabal, she will regroup and talk, talk, talk. I don't even care if she gets immunity.

The cabal is dealing with more and more of these psy-ops gone awry. Michael Brown is still petulant and moping about his treatment by them. Look for other disgruntled, rich, whiny people who thought they were really that important, to start complaining.

Turning their back on those loyal knaves can have some unpredictable consequences. MKJ

[Pierre.Suave]

12. That is one of my

dreams come true, if it were to happen.

[lisby]

17. Here's the problem, tho...

By the time she starts talking she will be so well known as mentally ill that it will be easy for her testimony to be discredited. :freak:

Lisby

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

31. I know, and K.H. will probably be unable to undo the damage.

She is playing right into their plan. :crazy: MKJ

[samsingh]

41. i think coulter is going to be harissized too .

[MADem]

51. I discount the tinfoil theory for a few simple reasons

The most important one is video. No one forced her to go on Faux and stand in twisted fashion to feature Moxie and Spunk in grand, if curious, profile. Her words, also caught on tape, weren't twisted or manipulated. All of that prancing around in tight clothes on horses, and snuggling up to cub reporters...that actually happened.

Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar, and sometimes a kook is just a kook. I think she is as whacky as a bedbug...!

If they really wanted to do a job on her, she would have met with one hell of a sad accident by now; maybe tossed by that horse, fell down a long flight of stairs because she forgot her shoes (she does that a lot), or some other KAT-tastrophe...

I'd like to hear her sing too...but only if the lyrics are "Election Theft 00."

[bluestateguy]

10. I think the Democrats should loan her Bob Shrum to run the campaign

because I think he could do a hell of a better job than she is doing.

[TheCowsCameHome]

11. Katherine is doing wonderful things for the economy.

Pissing away Repubeican $$$ is a worthy venture.

Go, girl.

[exlrrp]

13. Spend it ALL, KH!!

Mom cut off the allowance?
Sure like to see you in the future asking all the great questions, like: "will you have fries with that?"

[TheCowsCameHome]

14. I hope she spends every last dime and has to hock her implants, too.

Nothing like watching a sinking ship of fools to make me enjoy a summer Saturday morning.

[Botany]

15. Keep fighting Kate ..... spend spend spend

Hell, I will come from Ohio and run your campaign for you.
$2,500.00 and expenses per day will do me just fine. Get the money Katherine
and I will get everybody talking, promise.

How about twin blimps floating over Florida with Harris written on the sides?
And from the blimps we could parachute 'possums all over and have them give
out campaign buttons?

[soup]

20. Whoa. just had a 'WKRP' flashback

"As God is my witness, I thought turkeys possums could fly." :rofl:

[onehandle]

27. Which one is Harris? nt

[Skittles]

33. oh come on onehandle

the one with makeup and implants

[onehandle]

47. Lemme look again...

Oh, yeah! I see now.

The possum is the one with natural beauty.

[HockeyMom]

16. Kathrine Harris says failure to elect Christians will "legislate sin"

http://www.belleville.com/mld/belleville/news/nation/15363945.htm

Bye, bye Kate.

[Syncronaut Seven]

26. Good find!

Trying even to re-define "Katherine Harris crazy"

Even rolling back the odometer won't sell this lemon. :rofl:

[SeattleVet]

52. I found the FULL transcript of the interview:

http://www.floridabaptistwitness.com/6298.article

She's even crazier than anyone here even dares think! I guess she figures that she has no need of the Jewish vote in Florida to take the Senate seat (HA!).

[Tight_rope]

59. LMBAO...the Bitch is stone cold crazy...

[Systematic Chaos]

18. No matter what, the remainder of her life is gonna redefine "miserable"

She either gets "suicided" after this laughing stock of a campaign is over, and I'm sure they won't spare the pain, or...

She will have to deal - every waking moment, for the rest of her life - with the fact that nobody gives a shit about her anymore. The realization that she was just one more tool of the BFEE and nothing more will haunt her until her dying breath.

As much as I want to feel some sympathy for her, I just can't. The sheer magnitude of the human misery and suffering she has brought upon the world will never let me.

[LynneSin]

19. I so want this woman to win her primary

I mean she's total batshit and I want her to spend every penny so she ends up broke and destitute like the people she screwed over in 2000.

[onehandle]

21. Nutjob. nt

[brentspeak]

22. Apparently, the only money this GOP monstrosity ever actually earned

for herself was whatever she got for helping throw the 2000 election. Everything else came mostly from Daddy Warbucks.

[DoYouEverWonder]

24. That's a big part of her problem

She's a spoiled little rich girl and when she was younger all she had to do was bat her eyelashes at the right people. Now that she's getting a little long in the tooth, so even new boobs can't cover up her ugly soul.

[wordpix2]

23. Ed Rollins counseled her that she "could not possibly win..."

"I gave her the best counsel I could," Rollins said. "My counsel was she could not possibly win. ... She didn't listen to anyone."

Ed Rollins is a real BushCo cheerleader so that's an interesting statement.

:rofl: :popcorn:

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

32. A Bushco operative, planted to give her the final push. n/t

[graywarrior]

25. Makes me wonder about the republican motive.

I hate to say it, but Nelson is more like Lieberman than Kerry. The repubs like him.

[Taverner]

30. Well I wouldn't start Lamonting him quite yet

Harris may be a corpse, but the corpse should be cold and in the ground first...

[Bucky]

28. Ah - ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

(at the risk of sounding mean, this is just plain funny)

[Taverner]

29. She reminds me alot of Atia from HBO's "Rome"

[stop the bleeding]

34. uh oh - someboday just pulled the plug out of the drain

BWHAAAHHAAAHHAAAA

[grasswire]

35. I hope she has stashed away "insurance" somewhere...

...in the form of evidence. This is starting to look like what they did to James A. Hatfield.

[civildisoBDence]

36. Wait a minute, you mean Harris didn't get where she is on her own?

Imagine that, a Republican elitist who had the skids greased by daddy.

Who'd o' thunk it?

I'll never forget Katherine's grand entrance to the first big press conference during the Bush-Gore Florida recount. She walked with her body turned awkwardly to face the cameras and a Miss America smile on her face, just like a beauty pageant contestant walking down a runway.

Talk about your media whores--she thinks she's the star of a reality TV show.

Satire as thick as a president's skull

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

38. I wonder if she still flips her hair...she sure likes flouncy moves.n/ t

39. I'm thinking Dems should bankroll her just to keep up the insanity

Katherine Harris has got to be one of the most glaring embarassments of the GOP. I say just keep this human train wreck-a-rollin!

Just think of what we'd miss without her:

[badgerpup]

45. The fourth pic down...with the numbered human anatomy chart...

Looks as though Moxie and Spunk hadn't joined the team as yet.
:spank: :rofl:

[VegasWolf]

40. Dan Quale, George W Bush, Kathleen Harris. Leave it to the Republicans

to provide endless laughter!

[samsingh]

42. new verb: harrisized

usage: to be harrisized

definition
Using one's position to purvert the will of the people to enrich one's friends and then being abandoned and destroyed by those same friends. In this definition, the friends are traitors to the nation.

[Gman]

43. I just assumed her mom was gone also

Of course her mother gets everything from her father.

[LongTomH]

44. The Mills of God Grind Slowly.

But, they do grind exceedingly fine!

Lord, when you get time, could you see to Blackwell?

[NEOBuckeye]

49. I'll second that!

Blackwell should be next.

[truthisfreedom]

46. wow. the GOP is now the laughingstock of the nation.

[Peanutcat]

48. *speechless*

[Hubert Flottz]

53. It reminds me of a song...

Ding Dong! The Witch is dead. Which old Witch? The Wicked Witch!
Ding Dong! The Wicked Witch is dead.
Wake up - sleepy head, rub your eyes, get out of bed.
Wake up, the Wicked Witch is dead. She's gone where the goblins go,
Below - below - below. Yo-ho, let's open up and sing and ring the bells out.
Ding Dong' the merry-oh, sing it high, sing it low.
Let them know
The Wicked Witch is dead!

The Witch is Kaput!

[lakercub]

54. This campaign is becoming my all-time favorite

Every time I click on a new story concerning Harris, hilarity ensues. Here is hoping that witch continues to embarrass herself for the rest of the campaign.

Hey Katherine, you can run for something national again in two years...please do. This is great.

60. Poster child for the estate tax

KH is the very reason for the estate tax - keeping the addle-brained scions of wealthy people from doing bad things with the power of their parent;s money. If they just pissed it away, then let them keep it all - but KH is the very reason to rein it in a bit.
