Boy I really dont

Boy, I really don’t want to be in the position of doing a good turn for crime-against- democracy indictee Katherine Harris. But I can’t help myself. Someone has to talk to this woman’s PR flak.

Quite contrary to what we heard back in November and December about the election mess making Harris untouchable as far as future elective office was concerned, she is very much interested in shinnying further up the political pole (climbing higher on the ladder, pick your metaphor).

I even hear she wants to run for congress in 2002. And that’s not so crazy, considering the Republican party will run the entire redistricting process in Florida next year and they have, I think, two new seats to play with.

Anyway, if she wants to make it in mainstream politics, should she really be giving the headline speech at the annual South Carolina Free Republic hoedown? I mean, I think she’s pretty much got the right-wing freak demographic nailed down, no?

Katherine, branch out! I mean, take a cue from George W. Start doing photo ops with black kids. Ask Karl Rove. He’ll show you how it’s done.
