Wouldn't It Be Nice?

Jane Hamsher

Katherine Harris can't understand why she got so many mysterious donations from defense contractor MZM, Inc., but now that the company has become toxic in the wake of the demise of her good friend Duke Cunningham, she's decided to unload them:

"U.S. Rep. Katherine Harris has changed her mind and is now ready to dump more than $51,000 in campaign donations that are tied to the growing scandal around former U.S. Rep. Randy "Duke" Cunningham."

(snip)

"Cunningham and Harris have been helping each other on their campaigns for the past few years. In October 2004, Harris brought Cunningham to Sarasota to help her raise money and to attend a candidates debate with her."

(snip)

"In June, Harris was identified as one of the members of Congress that former MZM employees say they say they were pressured into giving campaign donations to."

"Harris said she saw no downside: The deal would have brought at least 40 jobs to her district, and the firm's agents were writing checks to her campaign account. Harris said she was a little puzzled by the donation, since she wasn't assigned to any committees that handled defense budgets or policy that could have helped MZM win contracts."


"This summer, U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Dole, R-N.C., returned $6,000 she received from MZM officials over the past six years, a spokesman for Dole said."
...who neglected to mention that all these people are Republicans.

BOY, some charity sure is racking up!! All these donations to charity from all these Cunningham-connected or Abramoff-connected republicans!

I really hope it's the Salvation Army... think how many homeless people will eat a really good "Holiday" dinner, all because of the generosity of good ol' Katherine and other cowards like her...

OTOH... Habitat For Humanity is giving shelter to so many poor people... maybe they should give all that swell money to THEM. Goodness, there's just so much to give!
