Book 'Em, Katherine Harris!
Join former United States Senate Pages Dylan and Ethan Ris as they bring you the dish on not just the presidential race but all the exciting triumphs and disgraces inside, outside, and below the Beltway!
Required Reading! If the Internet has seemed a little sluggish recently, it's probably because nearly every website on the planet has been besieged with pre-orders for the new tell-all book on former U.S. Rep. Katherine Harris (R-FL)! That's right, the woman who brought you the 2000 Florida recount and the tightest t-shirts ever to appear in a Senate campaign is now the subject of Jamie Miller's forthcoming book, due in 2009!
Hardcore Harris fans know Miller as one of the three campaign managers to quit the Floridian's failed Senate bid in 2006. No, he wasn't the one whose cell phone played the theme from The Exorcist every time Harris called — that was Jim Dornan, the first manager to quit the campaign. Still, we Pages expect Miller's book to relay many a tale of trashed hotel rooms, fictional tree collapses, and Harris' incessant prayers for the mass-conversion of the Jews — and hopefully a urinal cake with Harris' mug shot thrown in for good measure.
Meanwhile Harris, who inspired the phrase "you can put lipstick on a pig," has received renewed attention since being played by Laura Dern in the HBO film Recount. Although she was not pleased with Dern's portrayal (inspired by her co-star in Jurassic Park 3), Harris still has ample opportunity to tell her side of the story. See, while Miller's book isn't going to be published until next year, Harris' own memoir, Center of the Storm, is currently available used for one cent on Amazon.com!
So order both books today and "happy reading" to all of Harris' literate supporters!

Maybe we can agree that Katherine Harris is the Ed Wood of electoral politics
George Lucas? Shit? Factoring out American Graffiti and Herbie, I enjoyed all of the Indiana Jones flicks (I haven't seen the latest though). The new Star Wars films were not as good as the original, but, I'd put that wad of shit cash in my pocket. Eat it up.
Anyhoo, the real shit is about the subject of the post which certainly we can agree on. Katherine Harris. But that would be antithetical to The Bowel Movement.
I hadn't realized there were so many George Lucas fans out there. If you ask me, every movie he's touched (minus the original Star Wars) has turned to shit. Hence the analogy.
Analogizing Katherine Harris to George Lucas is like comparing the head of the Lollipop Guild to Shaquille O'Neal.
You're right daringtexan. I didn't mean "cheap shots" because she deserved them. "Roundhouse punches" is a better choice of words.
Those weren't cheap shots. They were well-aimed and well-deserved. She's going down in history as the woman who helped steal an election.
Comparing her to Lucas is a no-go. He made millions off his stories, which were fiction. She participated in the worst-rigged election since I don't know when.
correction-she needs to buy all Jamie Miller's books back from the publisher, so her fame doesn't have any more roaming minutes.
I have a crucifix for Harris to go along with The Exorcist ringtone.
Katherine Harris is to elections what George Lucas is to cinema. "Recount" was great because it was Hollywood holding her arms behind her back and letting the whole world land cheap shots to her gut.
The security code keeps looping. Please fix this.
If this goes through, I've seen better looking pigs in lipstick.
The slut must have used up all her "reward" from Dubya, because that's the only reason I can fathom for writing a book about her slimy role in stealing the election from Gore.
I hope she has to buy all her books back from the publisher.
