Harris Stuck in the Stands at Bush Event

Katherine Harris may be the only statewide Republican candidate to trek all the way to Pensacola Monday to see President George W. Bush. But that didn't get her much.

As she sat in the stands with her husband, Bush mentioned her from the stage and encouraged the crowd of 10,000 to also vote for the four other missing statewide candidates: Charlie Crist, Bill McCollum, Tom Lee and Charlie Bronson.

Who did make the stage with the President: A slew of local state lawmakers, Gov. Jeb Bush, U.S. Senator Mel Martinez, First Lady Laura Bush, RPOF Chairwoman Carol Jean Jordan, and U.S. Rep. Jeff Miller.

Did they at least let her say the invocation and pray that the Jews will be realigned?

That is hilarious! I knew she wouldn't get on stage even near the Prez. She is soooo mad right now. SHe gets mad when she has to fly coach "with the cattle in the back of the plane."

Bye Bye Carol Jean, Hello Chairman Bedinghaus!

they don't come much dumber than Katherine Harris. You can't even really hate her, she is just that stupid.

The press doesnt mention that this trip would have wiped out at least last a half of the day the day before election day. No one in there right mind would have wasted that much time. Sorry Kathryn.

Katherine, this is NO way for the Bushies to treat you-- after all you have done for them. You also know that, without your intervention--Bush would never have won Florida in 2000.

We look forward to the release of your tell-all book.

ouch

"I'LL GET YOU MY PRETTY.... AND YOUR LITTLE DOG TOO"

I can't wait to read her book.

There is justice and there is a God!!!

Once again, she lied about being invited onstage yesterday. She is pathological, no doubt.

What a fitting end to a miserable career. Tomorrow it will be all over for good (Thank God!).

There was no way that W would be photographed with her. NO WAY. What was she thinking?

If she did anything to help W in 2000, then she needs to be brought up on fraud charges. If she simply did her job, then it turned out the way it should of, regardless of who was Secretary of State.

Anders, Get ready!!! You are moving to the Holy Land!!!!! I am sure that is the last place on earth you would like to be. Trade in the cabana boys and umbrella drinks for Hezbollah rockets. WHAT IS SHE THINKING? IS SHE MAD?

WE LOVE YOU KATHERINE! DON’T YOU WORRY ABOUT THESE LIBERAL HACKS! THEY FEEL THE MACHINE VIBRATION AND LIL’ NELLIE WILL SOON BE RUN OVER! YOU’RE NUMBERS ARE RED-HOT AND WE’LL BE BACKING YOU ALL THE WAY TO WASHINGTON!

YOU’RE GOING TO WIN THIS GIRL! STAY FOCUSED AND ON TRACK! THE DEVIL’S PLAYGROUND WILL SOON BE NO MORE!

GO GIRL GO!

"HA! HAAAAAAAA!"

Loser.

you all know the ALL CAPS person hates Harris, dont you?

Is that you lil' nellie? are you back? we missed you!

Anders, Get ready!!! You are moving to the Holy Land!!!!! I am sure that is the last place on earth you would like to be. Trade in the cabana boys and umbrella drinks for Hezbollah rockets. WHAT IS SHE THINKING? IS SHE MAD?

Wow, that is the definition of a bitch slap what W did to Kitty.

He embarrassed, humiliated, degraded her and then flushed her down the toilet.

Three cheers for W!

SINCE THE PINELLAS REPUBS ARE ABOUT TO LOSE 3 LEGISLATIVE SEATS, DO YOU THINK IT WAS SO WISE OF THEIR CHARIMAN DOWN THERE TO FOCUS ONLY ON CRIST AND BILIRAKIS?

HIS SLOGAN WAS "CHARLIE, GUS"

WHAT ABOUT BERFIELD, CAPELLI, REEDER?

WHAT NOW TONY?

Cause a victory by Charlie helps the whole ticket??? or that Gus has been a staunch party pub for..oh, all his life...

While Capelli and Reeder came out of nowhere, neither are active republican party people and until they won primaries weren't our candidates.

HANG IN THERE KATHERINE! THESE WACKJOB SODOMITE LIBERALS WILL BE THE ONES WHO ARE EMBARRASED, HUMMILIATED, AND DEGRADED ON WEDNESDAY MORNING! THEIR FAVORTIE LIBERAL WILL HAVE LOST TO OUR GOD SEND!

MORALITY IS RETURNING TO WASHINGTON AND HER NAME IS KATHERINE HARRIS! SORRY SICKOS, THE GAY AND PEDOPHILE ORGY IS OVER!

GO GIRL GO!

At a dinner this summer (June?) Tony had a belly dancer in a thong perform for the GOP high rollers in the party. Many of the attendees danced with her.

Not exactly 4:32....

It was a party club event at a Greek Restaurant and there was a belly dancer dancing in the restaurant, but unless YOU pulled up her dress you wouldn't know she had a thong on.

It was a reception, not a dinner. It was on a Sunday I believe. Drinks were flowing. It was at an Italian restaurant. It was attended by folks who had given a significant amount of money to the Pinellas GOP. Candidates were there and Tony D. produced a belly dancer who struted her body (barely clothed) for 30 minutes, pulling men from the crowd to dance with her. THIS IS TRUE!

If this is true, it seems that Tony likes the barely clothed ladies and Gus does not.

The belly dancer was not just "dancing in the restaurant". The restaurant was closed to all but the Pinellas GOP. The dancer was hired by Tony to perform for the crowd. She did not just happen to be there.

I too remember. She strutted her stuff in a very sexual way as belly dancers do.

so nobody with a chance of winning tomorrow wants to be seen with the president.

How does that feel, conservatives?

All of you are wrong… it was a Wednesday, a rainy night, in the kitchen, with the butler, a knife, Tony was wearing a thong, Gus was naked, and everybody threw-up.

THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE. THE PARTY ELITE TREATED HER LIKE POLK COUNTY TRAILER TRASH.

I BET SHE RENTED A PRIVATE PLANE TO GO THERE, HAD HER MINIONS PUT UP SIGNS ALL THE WAY FROM THE AIRPORT TO THE EVENT, AND HAD A LIMO DELIVER HER TO THE EVENT.

I BET SHE PRACTICED WHAT SHE WAS GOING TO SAY TO W WITH ANDERS ON THE PLANE AND IN THE LIMO. I BET SHE HAD A SPEECH READY TO DELIVER TO THE PARTY FAITHFUL.

SO IF CRIST SNUBS BUSH, AND BUSH SNUBS HARRIS, IT MUST MEAN THAT CRIST SNUBS HARRIS.

Here is the only time that Bush mentioned Harris. He did not even acknowledge her presence in the crowd.

I'm proud to be here with Senator Mel Martinez, one of the fine United States senators. (Applause.) Tomorrow you get to vote for a new governor, and I strongly suggest you vote for Charlie Crist to be governor of the state of Florida. (Applause.) He's experienced, he's compassionate, and he'll work hard on behalf of all the citizens of this important state. And while you're in there voting for Charlie, vote for Katherine Harris for the United States Senate. (Applause.) And Bill McCollum to be the attorney general -- (applause) -- Tom Lee to be the chief financial officer -- (applause) -- and if you know anything about agriculture, you're going to want Charlie Bronson to be your secretary of agriculture. (Applause.)

WE LOVE YOU KATHERINE! THEY'LL BE MENTIONING YOU PLENTY COME ELECTION NIGHT! IT WILL SOUND A LOT LIKE THIS...

KATHERINE HARRIS WINS! LIBERAL SODOMITE ARE JUMPING OUT OF BUILDINGS ALL OVER FLORIDA!… AND THAT’S ALL GOOD!

GO GRIL GO!

He Harris press secretary. Doesn't it get old having to spin everything? You now have zero credibility. How can you do this all the time. She makes you look like a fool (presumably you are not the one making her look like a fool).

.....But none of them were at the rally —- except for Harris, who wasn't on stage as she said she would be. Instead, she was standing in the bleachers behind the president. Asked about it, Harris' spokeswoman would only say: "It's not a matter of where you sit, but where you stand on the issues."

WHO WILL SHOW UP? ANYONE? BET IT iS A CASH BAR!

I wonder what it is like to sit in an arena of 10,000, all of whom can see that you were treated like trailier trash by the WH? I wonder what it feels like. Can't be good. Certainly the most humiliating and embarassing moment of a political career gone awry. The fact that Carol Jean Jordan was on the stage was like rubbing a ton of salt in the wound.

Hey Jennifer Marks, only one more day of humiliation and then it is over. Good luck recovering your career!

hardy har har beeeeatch! Gawd how I hate that woman and she gets exactly what she deserves. Thanx for nothing beeach!

Twas the night before elections, when all through the state
No poll in her favor, such was Kitty's fate.
Her signs were planted by the highway with care,
In hopes that voters soon would be there.

Her staff were spinning her gaffes that appeared,
While visions of a paycheck danced in their heads.
And Kitty in her make-up, and Anders in his cap,
Had just settled down to examine poll gaps.

When out on the lanai there arose such a clatter,
Kitty sprang from her chair to see what was the matter.
Away to the window she flew like a flash,
Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.

The moon on the breast of a new-falling poll
Gave the lustre of victory to objects below.
When, what to her wondering eyes should proceed,
But Senator Bill Nelson with a 30 point lead.

Harris is soooooo angry right now screaming at my friend and all her remaining staff that "this is the most embarrassed I have ever been and that you have ruined life."

Irish,

Kitty is right. This is the most humiliating experience she has ever been put through. I can think of none other than to be snubbed by the President of the US in front of 10,000 people. She blew an entire day and charter jet to go to Pensacola for absolutely nothing. She spoke in front of 10,000 people who were already going to vote for her.

Tomorrow's concession speech should be interesting particularly after she has been humiliated by W and tossed out by Florida voters.

I just heard that Harris is using the F-bomb with her staff this afternoon. So much so that even Ozzie Osbourne would blush.

I wonder when their last payday was. If it was this past Friday, they could walk tonight.

I would love to be a fly on the wall, but not a paid staffer, when Katherine is forced to confront reality tomorrow at 9 pm

Katherine was not snubbed by Jr. They had a quick rehearsed meeting before the planned rally and was told to keep her distance or face retribution. After all she was the one who confirmed the Florida vote back in 2000 which forced the national election into the hands of Jeb. Come on now..that's not the way to treat a true southern Belle!

I am a former Harris Staffer that will be voting for her. Go Katie Bear Go

Yea! Let's stand up for Katherine. She is our kind of Republican. She is capable of great things.. especially if you let her control voters ballots cast.

Here is a pic of her buried in the stands. Not even front row. Seems the local HS cheerleaders got better seats.

Anders seems three sheets to the wind (and needs dental work desparetely) and Kitty seems to be craning for a glimpse of W.

I THINK ALL CAPS MUST BE A CLOSET CASE

Here is another pic of her hopelessly buried in the stands with steerage next to a aisle. Check out the scowl on her face. Poor Kitty, she picked out her best fall St Johns, but all for naught. She also looks like the testosterone is beating out the estrogen.

Katie Bear?

Hey Katie, $3.5 million down the rat hole with nothing to show for it. And most of it blown during the primary against two folks who had not a chance of beating you.

NOW ANDERS IS IN CHARGE AS YOUR MONEY IS GONE!!!!

kitty harris on greta (FOX) at 10 - the flame out begins.

"I wanted to let the president enjoy the spotlight as I sat in steerage."


Oh, please! The Pinellas GOP event was a Greek themed event with a traditional Greek dancer at a Greek restaurant and anyone who was there knows that.
