Why would Katherine Harris think stuff like this will elicit support?

[tuvor]

Or do Floridians really go for this kind of photo-op? :shrug:

1. nasty creatures

and I mean the possum...:P My wife calls them the devil spawn of satan...

[WhiteTara]

28. harmless little night creatures

just don't leave the cat food out and tidy up the garbage.

[johnaries]

36. Hardly! One tried to eat the puppies ofa neighbor of mine. nt

[WhiteTara]

61. yet another animal displaced by humans

we live in their neighborhoods and we need to act accordingly. Little puppies need to be protected from everything. No doghouse? No place in the home? If it was a daytime raid, then I'd bet the possum was rabid.

[RB TexLa]

2. You wind up at all kind of stupid rural festivals when you run for

something.

[KingFlorez]

3. That'll be somebody's dinner

The Possum Festival? Has she gone made?!

[Dr.Phool]

32. My dogs say they taste like chicken.

But they wouldn't touch Harris.

[graywarrior]

4. I could go so many places with this....but I'd better not.

[Sonicmedusa]

5. That's just SO wrong.

[liberalhistorian]

6. She's so far down in the polls and has so

little chance of winning that it likely doesn't even matter what she does anymore.

[pinto]

7. Who knows. I think the consensus on Ms. Harris is in.

:crazy:

[blogslut]

8. Pardon me ladies n gents

But that pic just screams "Attention Whore!!!"

[Crabby Appleton]

9. crap

I missed the possum festival!

[gizmonic]

10. I feel sorry for the possum...

Poor guy! :)

[Dogmudgeon]

11. What a cutie!

The woman, on the other hand, is loathesome.

--p!

[rzemanfl]

12. Didn't know there was a Wausau in Florida. They should have

started an insurance company there and left the opossums alone. Weird shirt on a weird broad with an even weirder bust-to-waist ratio. Wonder if the skank bitch is going to cook that possum or just send it out to get Starbucks for her. Maybe she bought it so she could belittle it, knowing it can't quit her campaign.

[converted_democrat]

59. You owe me a keyboard!! I just spit coffee all over..

"Maybe she bought it so she could belittle it, knowing it can't quit her campaign."

I like the way you think..

[nosillies]

13. She was not the only idiot politician who bought a possum

But of course she was the only idiot politician whose picture was in the local papers for it.

I sometimes seriously consider running for office. And then I think I might have to eat possum.

Sign me up when all the pols go and get blotty at the upcoming Epcot Food and Wine festival. I love to drink around the world.

[gratuitous]

14. Look out, Moxie!

Or is that Spunk on the right side?

[bridgit]

15. that lends 'playing possum' a whole new meaning...

[felman87]

16. It's official

She's fucking retarded. I feel sorry for her husband, being married to that thing (Katharine, not the possum)

[burythehatchet]

17. The possum subsequently quit Harris' campaign

:(

[nosillies]

25. .

:rofl:

[bleever]

44. ROFL.

:rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

53. A 10! LOL! n/t

[Marr]

18. Maybe it's a TERRORIST POSSUM.

If she can convince her base of that (I've seen her base and I think it's possible), then she could win!

[Bluebear]

55. hehehehe

[Patsy Stone]

19. Purchased?

What is she going to do with it now that she owns it?

She looks thrilled. I wish the possum had bitten her.

[jmowreader]

37. It's scheduled to be the main course at her victory dinner

Like that's gonna happen.

When Bill Nelson stomps her ass in November by an un-Dieboldable margin of victory and the campaign bills come in about mid-December, there won't be any other food in the house, so she'll have to eat it then.

BTW...how do you cook these things?

[Patsy Stone]

41. I don't know. But I know who to call:

[SharonRB]

42. ROFL

:rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

50. Was there really any other choice?

:hi:

[bleever]

45. Too. Damn. Funny.

:rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

51. Don't forget to tip your waitresses!

Oh, and: http://www.jelly.com/beverlyhillbillies/index.html

:hi:

[Skidmore]

58. Granny!! I'd vote for Granny!

[enfield collector]

20. she must be close to considering doing playboy in an effort

to boost her poll numbers

[Fridays Child]

21. I hope it bit her for holding it that way.

[givemebackmycountry]

22. mmmmmm POSSUM

Now 'dems good eatin'!!

This freakin' broad is certifiable.

[guinivere]

23. LOL!

The first thing I thought of was Jeff Foxworthy's bit about the beaver biting some guy's nipple clean off.


She purchased it? What the hell?

[nosillies]

26. What the hell? was my question too

But "purchasing" is a loose term here. The money raised in the auction was donated to charities and helped defray the costs of the festival.

[guinivere]

30. Oh, okay.

I thought she was going to take the thing home with her or something.

[TheCowsCameHome]

24. Both look like road kill. One by Michelin, one by RW "pals"

[Botany]

27. This has to go on the home page .....

Harris goes for the 'possum folk vote.

So Kate in this pix has:
Fake Tits
Botox injections
Plastic surgery
Collagen injections into her lips
A hair style that was made to soften her image
A campaign sticker coming off
and a possum by the tail.

I guess when your campaign staff has all left you, the bush brothers have dropped you like
some dirty underwear, you might as well pick up a 'possum.

[BushOut06]

29. I recognize Katherine Harris, but who is that woman holding her?

Too bad that little critter didn't scratch her eyes out.

[soup]

31. .

We Floridians love us some possum.
The Boll Weevil Festival is in October.
It's her new campaign manager.
She's batshit crazy.

[ThoughtCriminal]

33. Pogo would NEVER vote for Harris - nt

[SharonRB]

34. Which one is the 'possum?

:rofl:

Actually, I saw one in our neighborhood on my way home the other night. Nasty looking thing.

[johnaries]

35. Needs an "Eat More Possum" caption.

Or am I the only who remembers those bumper stickers?

[FSogol]

38. Hint: The Opossum is not wearing make-up.

Glad I could help

[Olney Blue]

39. Separated at birth?

[Ioo]

40. Hard to tell who is the possum

[Chulanowa]

43. Now the question is...

Which one is going to roll over and start playing dead first?

[bleever]

46. That's one scary looking critter.

No wonder the possum is freaking out.

[tandot]

47. Poor thing, she'll need lots of therapy and TLC...

assuming that the possum is a she ...

[Spirochete]

48. Just before she bit it's head off...

in an attempt to capture the Ozzy Osbourne Fan Club vote.

[BreweryYardRat]

49. Pity it didn't sink its teeth into her.

Bitch. Not only is she contributing to the death of an innocent possum, she's making the poor thing suffer beforehand.

[B Calm]

52. Nasty little creatures that crawl inside of dead animals and eat..

Most fitting for Harris to be seen with one of her peers.

[Nikki Stone 1]

54. A family photo! How sweet!

:evilgrin:

[Bluebear]

62. ...

:spray:

[Beausoir]

56. That thing needs a bath. Yuck. Filthy dirty hair, Greasy face.

And her knuckles are dirty, too. Probably from dragging them.

She needs a loooong soak in some soapy water. Her bolt-on airbags border on parody.

[Justice Is Comin]

57. And the possum needs a bath and a makeover too.

[underpants]

60. Moxy and Spunk are looking GOOD!

:P
