Farewell to a Real Bitch: Katherine Harris Will Soon be Relegated to the Farthest Reaches of the Dustbin of History, and We Just Can't Wait

You know of our loathing for Katherine Harris.

For some unfathomable reason we just can't figure out, our post on Glenn Beck is the most popular story, the most searched-for story on these pages.  (Our personal favorite?  It's a tie between one of our earliest ones on Kitty Harris, and one of our very first posts entitled "Huckabees Heart Each Other.")  Anyway, we like to think we've done a real hatchet job on ol' Kitty.  Don't get us wrong, though: it was well deserved.  Oh, so well deserved.

We were down in Sarasota in 2002 working for a Democratic congressional candidate trying to mount a real challenge to Katherine Harris, and no one seemed willing, at the time, to step up to the plate with us.  Katherine Harris was a terrible state senator, a corrupt Florida secretary of state, and just a downright idiotic congresswoman.  Too bad for the people of Florida.

Finally, though, it looks like Florida -- and the rest of America -- is waking up to the fact that Katherine Harris is not only way out of her league, she's a little nuts, too.  Washington Post staff writer Libby Copeland has a story on what she is describing as a campaign going south... But is it so much a campaign as the sanity of one woman?  The lede paragraph should clue you in:

Katherine Harris, who is trying to become a U.S. senator, says she is writing a tell-all about the many people who have wronged her. This includes, but is not necessarily limited to: the Republican leaders who didn't want her to run, the press that has covered her troubled campaign, and the many staffers who have quit her employ, whom she accuses of colluding with her opponent.

And there are others that are not just writing the obituary of this campaign -- they're actively relegating Congresswoman Harris to the more-than-a-lost-cause column.

Here's a story from The Lakeland Ledger.  Senator Bill Nelson is up by double digits.  Read it here:link.

The Orlando Sentinel is getting in on the game, too.  The lede in this story is one sad sentence: "The low point came in August."  Read the whole thing here:link.

Maybe you think we're being unfair, or just mean-spirited at a week out.  We don't think so.  Katherine Harris is a crook and a lightweight one at that.  She deliberately disenfranchised hundreds -- possibly thousands -- of Florida voters in 2000, and she's been a crooked Congresswoman ever since.  She represents everything bad in Republicans, and frankly, everything bad in politicians.

To paraphrase Al Gore, appropriately enough, it's time for her to go.  Goodbye, Katherine.  And good riddance. ts

While you may loathe Ms. Harris the fact is that she is, and always will be, richer, smarter, better connected, and more comfortable than you.

Whoever ends with the most toys, wins. And I'd be willing to bet that she has more toys than you.

Right, Austin, sure. The... "most toys." Because it's... the most... "toys" that determine who is... better?... than whom. Huh.

Well, okay Austin Buck, that's pretty pathetic.

Don't get us wrong! Oh, no. You're right on, brother -- she'll probably always be richer than us. There's no doubt about that. Our daddy's name is not on a football stadium or a cattle ranch. No, let's be clear. Crazy Katherine Harris will always -- always -- have more cash than we do.

Better connected? Well, now, that depends, Austin. In Republican circles, sure. She'll be better connected than us. Okay. Somehow I think we'll still be able to sleep at night.

More comfortable? That's a tossup, Austin. Have you seen the size of those fake titties she's got? We've seen Ms. Harris in person, and she's a petite woman, Austin. How she manages to hold those ginormous knockers up without falling face down is beyond our understanding of modern physics.

And *smarter*? Now, come on, Austin! Give us a little more credit than that, won't you. You can call dear Kitty a number of things: Congresswoman, well-connected, rich, corrupt. But smart? Let's get real, here. Smart is not something any of us would attribute to Ms. Harris. Ever.

Austin, we're a little worried about you, brother. Is this really the mentality of the conservatives out on Lido Key, that whoever has the most toys, quote-unquote, in the end... wins? Wins what, Austin? Do you really suspect that you get to drive your Mercedes S-500 in hell after you kick the bucket?

This is very disturbing behavior, Austin, and we'd like you to get help. Maybe talk to someone about what's really important in life. Family, friends, your health.

Oh. Or have we... hit a sore point, Austin? Have we?

Oh.

Oh, goodness. Could it be that you, Austin D. Buck are a sick, lonely, pathetic soul?

Hm.

Well, maybe you're lucky, Austin. Maybe you're connected enough to have Kitty Harris' number. You should give her a ring and see if she'll be friends with you. We suspect she will have a whole lot of free time very soon.
