More about spooky Katherine Harris


WaPo, by way of MSNBC:

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.

She is vague about what, precisely, makes her a victim, but she says she has it all documented.


Scary AND paranoid.

Perhaps the worst blow to Harris's campaign has been the stories that have emerged from former staffers. They describe a Jekyll-and-Hyde candidate who can be seductively charming at one moment and pitch a temper tantrum the next, throwing a cellphone at a wall or a sheaf of papers at a campaign manager. Former chief adviser Ed Rollins, who managed Ronald Reagan's reelection to the White House in 1984, said working for Harris was like "being in insanity camp." He likened her staff to dogs that have been kicked.

Before he became the first of three campaign managers to quit, Jim Dornan programmed his cellphone to play the theme song from "The Exorcist" when Harris called.


Happy Halloween!

Maybe drinking some of the holy water would help her. They just needed her to certify the votes they ripped off and now they're moving on to Ohio...again.

Yeah, I knew about the Celestial Drops, although I had buried it in the back of the brain.

She doesn't see that she's one more woman who's been used and cast aside.

Not that she's really done anything to win my sympathy.
