MIAMI - U.S. Rep. Katherine Harris (news, bio, voting record) told a religious journal that separation of church and state is "a lie" and God and the nation's founding fathers did not intend the country be "a nation of secular laws."

Her comments drew criticism, including some from fellow Republicans who called them offensive and not representative of the party.

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla., who is Jewish, told the Orlando Sentinel that she was "disgusted" by the comments.

"Congresswoman Harris encourages Americans from all walks of life and faith to participate in our government," said a brief statement from the Harris campaign. "She continues to be an unwavering advocate of religious rights and freedoms."

Cruella, honey, you need to talk to the press about 2000. Get that load off of your mind. Your mind might work better if you did. You can get even with George and Jebby. Just go talk to the press.

1. I would not want to have Wasserman Schultz after me.

She leaves no stone unturned and will come after you.

2. Gotta love the statement from her campaign:

"Congresswoman Harris encourages Americans from all walks of life and faith to participate in our government... She continues to be an unwavering advocate of religious rights and freedoms."

Anyone who believes that please contact me as soon as possible. I've got some ocean-front property in South Dakota that I'm trying to sell.
