Sometimes we don’t see things as they are. We see things as we are. Commentary by Leon Walker. - I had hoped that the memory former Florida Attorney General, Katherine Harris had been buried forever in the recesses of my mind forever. Gone forever were the sad and seedy cocktail party jokes that were Ms. [...]

The Supreme Court got involved in 2000, not...Kathryn Harris; Katherine Harris was Florida Secretary of State in 2000. She'd been appointed by Jeb Bush, the governor. In that role, she was responsible for overseeing the state's election procedures. She was also the Bush campaign's co-chair at the same time. She was responsible for purging the voter registration rolls prior to the ele

ELECTION ’08: Scoring Secretary of State Seats for Dems By Sarah Laskow, www.publicintegrity.org Plagued by memories of Florida’s Katherine Harris and Ohio’s Ken Blackwell, a little-known 527 group helped win secretary of state posts for Democrats in five swing states during the last election cycle. Now the group has its sights on four more. The Secretary of State Project, which as a 527 non-profit...

One of my favorite scenes in Recount , the excellent HBO movie about the theft of the Florida vote by the Bushies in 2000, is when the delicious Laura Dern, as Katherine Harris, claims divine guidance and biblical validation for her manipulation of law and process to install her governor’s brother as president. "I have been reading my Bible quite a bit lately, and I have been feeling this extremely...

Bolted upright out of a sound sleep at 2:30 this morning with the realization that both the gals haunting my nightmares had been played by Laura Dern in two different movies! Laura Dern as Reality TV's own Katherine Harris,...

Hmmm. She’s young, good-looking, inexperienced, and a bit ideological; like Barack Obama, actually. But she’s running for VP, not to be the big dog. She’s not at all embarrassing, not a Katherine Harris or Harriet Miers. All in all, a good contrast to Biden who’s tainted with the scent of corruption. This just might work [...]

McCain selects the hoops-playing, animal-killing, beauty queen Sarah Palin as his VP choice, leading me to ask -- why were at-least-equally-minimally-qualified GOP females passed over? I mean, Katherine Harris, Michele Bachman and Condi Rice all hail from states with more electoral votes than Alaska. Why are they left out? Let's analyze: 1) Harris -- OK, she pissed off a lot of GOP folk when she refused...

A reader: Jonah, Forgive the dissent from all the euphoria, but don't you think the MSM will go into overdrive to turn Palin into the 2008 version of Katherine Harris? One misstep by Palin at the outset and McCain could be cooked.

Words thrown either in my general direction or the direction of this Powell mess. Shill Witchhunt Staggering Cute You know it's that last one that probably sent me over the cliff. Katherine Harris. Election rigging. Ken Blackwell. Just a few more things cavalierly tossed at the wall in the monkey cage. Is it the fact that Democrats won't admit that the real reason they are happy is they get to keep...

Remember one of the loonier conspiracy theories that the left floated in October of 2004--that Bush cheated during the debates against John Kerry? Here we go again! I blame those Katherine Harris-type election officials, myself....

Katherine Harris is 21, a senior in college, and ¼ Creole, ”with a freckly face…(who) loves photography, enjoys talking about my horrendous dating experiences, and loves sorority life to the fullest.” She recounts all this and more in the pages...

All Yahoo needs now is for former Florida Secretary of State Katherine Harris to show up and start recounting votes. It could happen, given all the crazy characters who have been drawn to the much-beleaguered Internet company like a magnet in 2008. It's almost as if there is a voodoo curse on Yahoo and, so, you didn't think the digital gods would let it have more than one weekend of good news, did...

Sure you do. After she was done with the statewide Presidential vote, she decided to run for Congress, and ended up representing the Florida-13th for two terms. In 2006, she decided to run for the Senate, and Vern Buchanan (R) mostly self-financed a run against Christine Jennings (D). He “won” by 369 votes. There was an issue of 18,000 “missing” votes , a recount , court cases, and finally a finding...

I once heard a story, although I forget from whom, about why Bush v. Gore is captioned "Bush v. Gore." After all, the particular lawsuit that ended up in the Supreme Court was captioned "Gore v. Harris" in the Florida state courts, since it was an attempt to contest Katherine Harris's certification of the election... according to the story, the Supreme Court's reporter of decisions -- Frank Wagner...

Karen Handel Is Not Katherine Harris - And this is not 2000. And the PSC sure as hell is not the President Of The US. It would be simple to say Harris is an idiot and leave it at that. But Kitty is also a meglomaniacal, crazy idiot who clearly placed party above policy in such blatant fashion that even hard-core Republicans blanched and in later years left her to wander in the wilderness. Handel, although...
