Katherine Harris' campaign going down like the Titanic.

[lpbk2713]

Article in my local (Central Florida) newsrag this AM says she fired her campaign manager. C'mon Katherine, the poor SOB didn't have a whole lot to work with now, did he?

Her own party wrote her off months ago and they haven't come up with anyone else as a contender. Looks like they have all but conceded the race to Dem Bill Nelson

1. Katherine Harris IS the Titanic

[Dr.Phool]

11. She looks like she got smacked in the face by an iceberg!

[LuCifer]

34. If she's the Titanic...

...well, we need to get JEB on board her ass and get 2 for the price of 1!

Lu

[TallahasseeGrannie]

35. Lol

I heard some interesting stats on the way to work. Something about how in FL only 38 percent (might even have been lower, but in the 30's) would vote for Jeb for pres. When you can't carry your own state, you are doomed. So hopefully he will retire and become a corrupt CEO.

[Loonman]

2. Predictably

I remember the hilariously awkward Hannity & Wimp appearance where she said "exciting" like 50 times and thrust her boobs out for the camera.

[bballny]

5. She was very proud

of them. She probably paid alot for them.

[DrDan]

6. I remember that appearance

how could anyone support her for the Senate - I am shocked that 30-some percent would still vote for her - even in Florida! (There must be something in the crappy-tasting water.) I think even Hannity was embarassed by that show. Didn't Jon Stewart highlight that appearance as well????

Now my rep - the honorable Tom Feeney . . . .

[Loonman]

9. Yeah, Stewart got some good laughs out of that one

Classic.

[porphyrian]

24. Actually, the water in North Florida is really very good...

...while it lasts. Its from a different aquifer than the one in Central and South Florida.

[DrDan]

27. I didn't realize that

in Volusia county, it's only bottled water for us

I used to enjoy monthly trips to NJ - the first thing I would do in the hotel was to grab a big glass of water - such a treat after the Florida water we have

[porphyrian]

30. (Shh! Don't tell, it's a secret...)

North Floridians and South Georgians don't want their aquifer (the Floridan Aquifer) going the way of that South Florida crap. Actually, the recharge area for it is the wetlands in and around Tallahassee, so there's a chance that Jeb! has already poisoned it permanently, but it was still good stuff a year ago.

[burythehatchet]

7. Ah yes, the Rackture. n/t

[samdogmom]

3. Stupid question, but does this mean she's giving up her house seat?

Karma is a good thing--next year she'll be out of public office!

[Cha]

15. Not a stupid question..I was

wondering the same thing?

[havocmom]

4. Maybe she needs to sprinkle some ‘Celestial Drops’ around

her campaign office?

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/10054116/

Katherine Harris, then Florida's secretary of state — and now a member of the U.S. House of Representatives — ordered a study in which, according to an article by Jim Stratton in the Orlando Sentinel, "researchers worked with a rabbi and a cardiologist to test ‘Celestial Drops,' promoted as a canker inhibitor because of its ‘improved fractal design,' ‘infinite levels of order,' and ‘high energy and low entropy.'"

The study determined that the product tested was, basically, water that had apparently been blessed according to the principles of Kabbalic mysticism, "chang its molecular structure and imbu it with supernatural healing powers."

OK, trying to keep an open mind here, but still wondering about the wisdom of spending state resources on blessed water.

The only accepted means of fighting the blight is the downing of affected trees and proper disposal of their remains.

The Florida state government is frequently bombarded with new supposed cures and preventatives. Most of them are not tested by the state with government funds. But in this one case, at least, it appears that an exception was made: Six months were spent establishing testing protocols and, finally, testing Celestial Drops. In a letter to the state government, Wayne Dixon, the head of Florida's Bureau of Entomology, Nematology and Plant Pathology, reported that the "product is a hoax and not based on any credible known science." He added, "I wish to maintain our standing in the scientific community and not allow to use our hard-earned credibility" to promote their product.

Now, if I lived in FL, Wayne Dixon might look like a better choice to serve the people to me come election time.

[DrDan]

8. she just enjoys saying "fractal" . . .

[soup]

13. Stop me if you've heard this one

A rabbi, a cardiologist and Katherine Harris walked into a ...

:rofl: OMG, havocmom, I am dissolved in hilarity. Celestial Drops! improved fractal design!

Hey, speaking of fractals, my avatar is one. Gee, come to think of it, I could have titled that particular one Celestial Drops, they could use it on the label, I'd become fabulously wealthy, and donate huge chunks of money to Bill Nelson's re-election.

I really wanna see her cry.

[Dulcinea]

19. There goes the makeup.

If she ever cried, the toxic sludge that came off her face would be declared a Superfund site!

[havocmom]

21. Any day I can make a fellow traveler really laugh

is one I put in the Win Column! Thanks for helping me feel like I still have contributions to make. ;)

PS: hope your keyboard is ok

[hatrack]

22. HAW HAW!

This is perfect - Republican science in action!

But will Celestial Drops be enough to remove the canker that is Harris? :evilgrin:

[BOSSHOG]

10. bush should head to Florida and campaign for her

Lots of photo ops. Maybe he could give her a kiss on the cheek, shake her hand, hug her.

[Cha]

16. Excellent! Especially good at

the 11th hour!

[poverlay]

12. Thanks for the laugh. Now I'm going to be walking

around all day chuckling to myself about "fractal".

I despise Harris. She is a nutjob of the highest order.
Glad to see her going down.

[DrDan]

28. actually, I think you can say she got to where she is

by going down

[Cha]

14. Dare we hope cruella

goes down in flames where she belongs?

Reading about mark foley reminded me of Rob Wexler, the congressman from Florida..Why wouldn't he be good in the future to run against martinez?

[rustydog]

17. My GAWD look at that face! I am lead to believe that

Harris is the offspring of Joan Rivers mating with Phyllis Diller.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

36. 7-2.

CAW! CAW!

[flordehinojos]

18. bill nelson is a republican in democrats' clothing.

[lpbk2713]

25. True statement

But I would rather see him in office than Harris. Even if the only reason would be to hand Harris a defeat.

[flordehinojos]

31. if only we could get a real true democrat of the caliber of janet reno, or

carrie meeks, or any of the good florida democrats in to hand harris a defeat with!

who are our true blue good democrats--i don't think i know anymore.

:hippie:

[Selatius]

20. How come she doesn't get as much scorn as Nader?

What's to say Katherine Harris could not have flipped the vote in Bush's favor just as easily as Nader? I've seen several dozen threads attacking Nader and his pig-headedness, but I cannot recall seeing as many threads about Harris' fraudulent purges.

[dogday]

23. Think she believes in Karma

cuz she has a shitload of Bad luck coming her way if so.

[Lannes]

26. Found this quote funny

http://www.heraldtribune.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20051116/NEWS/511160441


Harris is well-known for "chewing through staff like an industrial wood chipper."

[lpbk2713]

33. "Right now what she needs more than anything is credibility."

.... and that is just not gonna happen.


Katherine, you've had your 15 minutes of shame. Take a hike.

[NNN0LHI]

29. Looks like Kathy picked the wrong week to give up snorting crank n/t

[Touchdown]

32. She looks like the ship's screw blades ate her up.

...or that she was standing inbetween Titanic and the berg when they collided.

[PassingFair]

37. I like THIS quote:

"Harris felt "her first obligation is to her constituents" as a congresswoman while he "felt it was imperative that Mrs. Harris devote more time and energy to CANOODLING."

OK, I altered it.

Voila, Le Canoodle! Or is it La Canoodle? Who cares, enjoy!
