Tensions are mounting on both sides as the election approaches. I feel like I've bitten off more heads than Ozzy Osbourne.
Maybe what we all need is a good laugh. And when you need someone to laugh at, who springs to mind quicker than our erstwhile Republican nominee for Senate in Florida, Rep. Katherine Harris. Whether she is playing Catherine the Great in too-tight jeans in the horse stalls or claiming Democratic congressmen have endorsed her, there are few more dependable laughs in politics.
Now The Florida Masochist quotes the Sun-Sentinel where Harris claims she will honor her pledge to spend $10 million of her own money on the campaign by selling her Washington home.
Except - drat the luck! - the reporters, Ludmilla Lelis & Jim Stratton, actually checked with Washington area realtors and found that Harris' home isn't listed on the Multiple Listing Service, used by nearly all real estate firms.
As TFM observes, even if she signed a contract to sell today, it is highly unlikely she would get the money in time to help her hopeless campaign. Still, her spokesliar insists she hopes to sell the house any day now.
Maybe she's born with it.
Maybe it's Maybelline™.

I would humbly submit the campaign of Jeanine Pirro for top honors, even over Ms. Harris. Ms. Pirro originally was going to run against Hillary, but dropped out to the relief of all (now we have some other weenie running against her) and is now running for AG to replace the all-but-crowned-Governor Spitzer against the unqualified but well-gened Andrew Cuomo (yes that Cuomo) (I'm not sure the state GOP is even running anyone against Spitzer, maybe a sock monkey or a handful of Fritos). Feel free to do a search on her, you'll find some highlights like:
-her husband. I can't even begin to sort it all out, I think there's a child he fathered during an affair, he's constantly getting speeding tickets- the big ones, I think he has ties to the mob or something. She's one of the few candidates that could stack up a worse husband than Hillary on the campaign trail.
-she's under investigation by the feds for wiretapping her husband's phone re: affairs (although it may be that she just talked about doing it and didn't actually do it) - unfortunately he's not a likely terrorist or having an affair with one, then his calls would have been sancrosact
-her campaign in its minor details is a mess, from speeches in the rain to pages of her speeches missing to, I dunno, a hundred pizzas delivered to her HQ under the name Hillary...Ok that one's not true, and most of the rest is dumb luck like the weather, but it still adds up to a bad looking campaign
-while still running against Hill she was claiming the support of local GOP leaders that had given no such support
When it comes to incompetent campaigns, NY Republicans are there to compete! (Did I mention that we still don't have any sort of strategy in place to modernize our voting in accordance with federal law? Hmmm...which fish bowl should I drop my ping-pong ball into?)
