[acmavm]

1. She bought it? What the hell for?

[leftchick]

5. I have no idea!

there was no story to go with it. The poor critter. :(

[chimpymustgo]

17. leftchick! How about FAIR WARNING: GRAPHIC! ONLY FOR STRONG STOMACHS!

But thanks for posting, silly girl.

[leftchick]

29. lol!

very true! and I am a silly girl!

:hi:

[MrCoffee]

6. She spent $400 on that thing

$400!!! This woman has "Senator" written all over her. Watch out Moxie (or is that one Spunk), don't get bit!

[Mandate My Ass]

28. Not to worry, MrCoffee

In the event of a puncture, merely locate the leak, spray on an adhesive, apply a patch, and re-inflate until the appropriate size has been re-established. :rofl:

[Lochloosa]

45. A little history. This is an annual event in Florida. All Politicians

are expected to show up and bid on the possums. All money raised goes to charity and the possums are released.

Some are just traumatized a little more than others.

[HamdenRice]

51. Grease up the skillet, Ma -- possum is good eatin' !

It actually tastes really good, but I would't kill an animal like that every again.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

2. I hope it rips out her spleen.

Possums can bite pretty hard.

[AndyA]

3. Oh, is THAT what it is? I thought it was her FIRST BORN! n/m

[susu369]

16. B-a-a-a-a-d boy!!!!!

:spank:

Now, apologize to all possums.

:-)

[idgiehkt]

19. the medical term for something like that is terratoma

[KatyaR]

34. "Terratoma" - snort!!!

:spray:

:applause:

Two points!

[Time for change]

4. What kind of campaign trick is this?

[EFerrari]

7. Please don't take me there.

:rofl:

[loves_dulcinea]

8. Mmmm

possum stew!

[blm]

9. You'd have to be a focking MORON to get a BOOB JOB before a senate run

Hair for brains.

[MrCoffee]

12. How about a little respect when you're talking about The Ladies

Her 2 point plan to win the senate is flawless! Pump up those numbers, Katie. Run your ass off!!

[Dr.Phool]

23. There's 3 boobs in that picture.

And it ain't the one with a long tail.

[mnhtnbb]

47. LMAO

[enid602]

10. pinatas

Looks like the opossum is trying to break the pinatas.

[tanyev]

11. She is a little short-handed in the campaign office.

[patdem]

13. Florida is possum country...woulda thought she was running in Kentucky

or some sorta down home out east sort of country type state. I thought Florida was quite sophisticated? I could be wrong? (see K. Harris)

[Clark2008]

37. All the Southern states have some level of sophistication.

I hate regional bias.

I'm sure there's rednecks in your state, too. Just as there are Rhodes Scholars in my Southern state.

[patdem]

46. Honey, I was born and bred in Virginia..you know, the capital of the

Confederacy? Get a grip. I was insulting Katherine, not southerners..ps. My name is Katherine also so THERE!

[tabasco]

14. Harris is the one on the right?

Correct?

[MrCoffee]

15. I don't blame her for this picture

When you're 4 deep in the rotation for campaign managers, this is what you get. Don't listen to these nattering nabobs of negativity, Kates, you can do it!

[Cleita]

18. Yeeesch! Goes to show what money for brains gets you.

Possums come into my yard for free if I put cat food out.

[sam sarrha]

20. they are extremely dangerious animals. why did the possum cross the road.?

none have ever made it across alive.. no one knows

[Dr.Phool]

22. It was trying to get away from Harris!

[Uncle Joe]

21. Yes, this should help her race,

now if she would just pick up a rattlesnake, that would put over the top.

[kellenburger]

24. Is it me or is she HOT !!

:sarcasm: :puke:

just kidding !

[bluedog]

25. she'd better obey the laws with that......and check to see if it needs a l

license

Florida

According to the Fish and Wildlife Department, STO are legal to own without a permit according to at least minimal cage specifications. To sell or use for exhibition requires a license.

The license is $50 and can be obtained from the website http://www.floridaconservation.org.

The STO must be kept in at least minimum caging specifications from Florida:

These are the caging specifications:

5. Ringtail opossums, gliders, pygmy possums, brushtail possums, cuscus, bandicoots

a. Small (e.g., pygmy opossums)

(I) For one or two animals, a cage or enclosure 2 feet by 2 feet, 4 feet high, For each additional animal, increase cage size by 25 percent of original floor space.

(II) Each cage shall have perching area(s) and nest box(es) that shall accommodate all animals in the enclosure simultaneously. Each cage shall have a horizontal climbing apparatus.

[SpiralHawk]

26. corrupt republicon cronies always have strange sexual perversions

But I am shocked, shocked, shocked, I tell you, at this one...

[katinmn]

27. OMG. This is the only way she can get attention.

She is shunned even by the Bushies.

Poor little possum being used this way.

[Deb]

30. omg, check out what we missed at this festival!

http://www.chipleybugle.com/sponsors/PossumFestival/possumfestival.htm

I wonder how she did in the Hog Callin' Contest. This was a politician's nightmare stop. :rofl:


http://www.palmbeachpost.com/politics/content/state/epaper/2006/08/06/a6a_possum_0806.html

"Attorney General Charlie Crist, a forkful of shredded meat in his mouth, couldn't help a grimace despite the local television cameras. "It's the best possum I've ever had in my life," he managed gamely.

Crist's opponent in the Republican primary, Chief Financial Officer Tom Gallagher, cited seven previous visits during earlier runs for statewide political office. "I've had my share," he said as he passed by the "possum and taters" table."


:spray:

[LeftHander]

54. Paint Chip Eatin' Fun for the whole famdamnly!!...nt

[Freedom_Aflaim]

31. That is one UGLY VILE NASTY creature !!!

But the possum aint to bad.

[meisje]

32. I trapped a Harris in a catch-em-alive trap last month

Foul smelling creature! I took it down to the river and let it loose.

[McCamy Taylor]

33. The GOP should run the possum. It is cute.

[Raine]

35. WTF!!!

I have opposums in my area, they get a bad rap from people who don't understand them. Seeing that monster holding that little opposum like that makes me sooooooo :mad: :grr: :nuke:!!!

[Bucky]

36. Hey, don't knock it. Possum is good eatin'.

And it'll make a nice change of pace from all the crow she'll be eating come November.

[Skidmore]

38. KO talked about this on Countdown last night and he ended

with something like pointing out that Harris was the one on the right.

[symbolman]

39. A bit of the subliminal going on here?

Take a look at the sign in the background.. a big red "NO" :)

Do NOT vote for this person "NO" mmmmuuuhhhhaauuuahhhahahahaha..

All I can think of when I see a pic like that is The Beverly Hillbillies.. and oddly enough, she IS getting even MORE Unattractive since her Cruella DeVille days, hard to imagine..

Can't she just go to Piggly Wiggly and get Possum all wrapped in plastic on styrofoam with the wieght and price sticker on it like everyone else? :)

I actually thought it was her newest Campaign Manager, since she goes through them like shit through a goose.

She'll bring all the class to the Senate that Bush brought to the White House, eh?

[B Calm]

40. Nice to see her posing with one of her peers.. Nasty animals that

like to crawl inside dead animals and eat..

[0rganism]

41. You can really feel the LOVE there

Nothing says "I love you" like the vicious squinty ratfucktress holding up an angry possum whilst her campaign bumper sticker peels off her lapel. The only thing that would make this image more perfecter is if the little varmint lovingly scratched a big gouge in her shit-eating face, while screaming, "You ruined our country, bitch!"

[kiki]

42. I'd check myself for ticks and other parasites...

...if I was that possum.

[Cessna Invesco Palin]

43. Best. Photo. Ever. n/t

[MrBenchley]

44. Which one looks more like a giant rat?

[LeftHander]

48. OMG - I almost barfed...I snorted so hard....

That is hilarious...

Oh please let there be video....

[MrCoffee]

49. UPDATE: The possum needed rabies shots soon after the picture was taken

[Catherine Vincent]

50. They look just alike!

[dogday]

52. Nothing like possum soup and a little rheumatoid medicene....

Just ask Granny

[seemslikeadream]

53. She bought it as a companion

for the two she keeps under her shirt
