Katherine Harris Campaign Update
Apr 4, 2006

Questions Dog Harris Behavior

By WILLIAM MARCH and KEITH EPSTEIN
The Tampa Tribune


TAMPA - Changing locks on her campaign headquarters and accusing her staff of disloyalty and her own party of spying on her are signs of erratic behavior that some Katherine Harris staff members say has worsened since her father's death.

Harris is restaffing her campaign and will announce new key staff members today, a campaign spokeswoman said Monday.

But in the past 10 days, Harris has:

•Had locks changed and posted a security guard at the door of her campaign headquarters in Tampa and had former staff members escorted in to retrieve their belongings.

•Told a gathering of supporters in Cocoa Beach on Saturday that the Republican Party had "infiltrated" her campaign staff to put "knives in my back."

•Told a reporter that a longtime, trusted political adviser had leaked a story about her staff members quitting, then called back to retract the comments.

•Announced hiring her new staff without identifying them.

Those events come atop previous reversals and contradictions, including her announcement last month that she would spend her inheritance from her father on her campaign, which she changed, saying she would sell her assets.

Former campaign manager Jim Dornan, who left in November, called the most recent events in the campaign "unbelievable."

1. that second bullet point is so rife with irony
as who better than la Harris to know about Republican Party infiltrations (think the "riot" during the vote counts) and skullduggery.

2. There you go Cruella
nothing like a nice big fat 'Payoff' for Installing the Chimperor into our precious White House.. that's LOYALTY for you, and the Bush's are FULL of Loyalty, just ask Noriega (who ran their cocaine through his country), or Saddam Hussein (who Bush the first and Reagan armed using Agricultural loans to his country, then sold him weapons to kill the Iranians, while selling Iranians weapons to kill the Iraqis)..

I'm almost willing to bet that Rove is fucking with her mind just for yucks, he loves "Fucking them, like they've never been Fucked before.."

Maybe she's a hobby for Rove. Break her down, use her for a footstool, or some kind of sex "furniture" like that poor woman in Soylent Green that came with the apartment.

This sad witch has ALWAYS had a screw loose.

3. Can Cruella Keep It Up? I Sure Hope So
It's sad when one see's a Happy Meal without its Fries :rofl:

This lady is her own worst enemy and I thank her for it! She's providing so much entertainment in what's turning out to be a too serious election campaign. Oh do I hope those wingnuts in Florida rally around her and keep her in the race til November...providing us with months of meltdowns and jiggling boobies.

Gotta be a real bitch when you can't trust your "friends" and think worse of them than your "enemies".

5. Oh, Please keep fighting on... Spending that hard inherited money
The economy needs the money Kathy.

I don't like to wish ill will on people, but I hope she spends every cent trying to get elected. Then I hope she fails. She will then know what the other side is like.

6. She'd better start using throwaway cellphones and stay of the internets
Warrantless wiretapping and email surveillance isn't just for peace activists!

Hey, Cruella...Trust No One.

:rofl:

7. Well, we all knew she's deranged.
Her party is IMPLODING and she's going down too. SHE'S THE REASON WE ARE IN THIS FREAKIN' SITUATION! If it wasn't for HER, we wouldn't have illegally invaded Iraq! I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE HER LOSE IN NOVEMBER!

8. One thing I could never figure out.
How the hell did Jan Schneider lose to her twice?

Gotta be the machines.

She sounds like she's just about ready to start writing that tell-all book I've been waiting for. This oughta be good.

11. This is fun!
Who knew Katherine Harris would turn out to be such a wonderful source of comedy? This entire soap opera is turning out to be hugely enjoyable.

13. Haa - the "asset" market will surely be looking forward to it
Selling her "assets" will probably fetch a tidy sum of money for her campaign since they (the 'assets')seem to have been recently reconstructed!

14. This statement pretty much says it all:
Told a gathering of supporters in Cocoa Beach on Saturday that the Republican Party had "infiltrated" her campaign staff to put "knives in my back."


This coming from Katherine Harris, the woman who was largely responsible for Bush being placed into office in 2000, despite the fact that he lost the popular vote. This woman was the Queen of the Republican Party. Her low values, morals, and ethics are largely responsible for the sorry state of affairs in America and the world right now. And now she's become a bloody discharge that no one wants to associate with.

How quickly the Republicans cast aside their used up party members, once they've done their dirty deeds, they are expendable. No longer needed. At least we now know they eat their own, as well.

What a nice group of upstanding, conservative, ethical, moral, Christian, leaders the Republicans are. They surely don't lead by example, because if any other group did these things they'd be screaming loud and clear about how outraged they are. More bullshit from the "do as I say, not as I do" crowd.

16. Did she really have a boob job? Maybe it came from her brain?

17. Update on next round of Harris campaign staff .....



My local paper this morning says Harris is (allegedly) supposed to announce new staff assignments today.

Link: http://www.theledger.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060404/NEWS/604040363/1004

I don't know. The way The Poor Little Rich Girl is acting lately maybe she will, maybe she won't. It's hard to say what she might do until you see it happen. It might be that she's working with Hannity to make another infomercial to announce her latest decisions.
