Jeanne Pirro. Almost enough to make Katherine Harris look sane.
Then again, maybe they were twins seperated at birth. Read the linked article.

Okay, this one's a beaut.

Jeanne Pirro was originally running for senate against Hillary. But her campaign roll out was such a disaster she had to bail out of that race. Then she decided to run for New York AG. Or at least she was until today. It's now been revealed that after Bernie Kerik's ties to the mob had been revealed during his abortive nomination to head DHS, Pirro decided that Kerik was the one to go to for help to make covert recordings of her husband's activities by planting a bug on their boat. Pirro believed her husband was cheating on her. See all the details here. Not a good resume addition for an AG candidate, is it?

Late Update: An earlier version of this post said that Pirro had solicited Kerik to plant an "illegal wiretap" on her husband. That was incorrect. They conspired to plant a hidden recording device. Pirro claims that her plan for secret surveillance on the family boat would have broken no laws. The Feds don't seem to agree.

2. Oh My! And court authorities wiretapped Pirro
"The sources said that court authorities wiretapped conversations that appear to show that while preparing for a statewide run for office, Jeanine Pirro was desperate to prove her husband was cheating on her.

She came under the scrutiny of six different law enforcement agencies, including the New York Police Department, the city's Department of Investigation and prosecutors in the Bronx and Westchester."

-And where did they plan to get a listening device?-

"Minutes later, Kerik called a contact at Giuliani Partners, former Mayor Rudy Giuliani’s consulting firm, asking him to find a recording device, according to documents."
