WASHINGTON - U.S. Senate candidate Katherine Harris will spend the weekend in the Tampa Bay area where she will take a required class to reinstate a lapsed concealed weapons permit.

Harris, a congresswoman from Longboat Key, received threats when she was secretary of state during the bitter presidential recount in 2000. The threats were investigated by the FBI, and Harris said Thursday they have stopped.

"For me, I just want to have a permit in an overabundance of caution," she said. "I want to go ahead with getting it for practical purposes."

Bill Bunting, the Pasco County Republican leader and the course instructor, said he has been encouraging Harris for months to take the class. "During the first Bush (presidential) election, people forget how quickly she had all those death threats on her life," Bunting said. "You never know if there's a nut out there."

2. Just "bonding" with here "base"...and if I were Jeb...

...I'd stop dicking with her about now.

3. "Death threats on her life"...

What other kind are there, Mr. Bunting? I guess I need to take his class to find out...

4. There IS a "nut out there."

It's her.

5. Pssst, Hey Katherine, Bill Bunting is out to get you.

If there's anybody in the area that's crazier than Katherine, it's Bill Bunting. After the 2004 elections, somebody released some internal GOP e-mails, where they were saying "he is a bit of a nut, isn't he".

He sent out a judicial endorsement for a candidate who had a concealed carry permit. I brought this up at a candidate forum, and got this asshole laughed off the stage.

6. Didn't Florida just pass a law?

Allowing folks to blaze away at anyone if they "feel threatened"? I wonder if Cruella is coming up with a creative way to win the election without the mess and trouble of actual voting?

7. Hey, I'm all for it.

I truly want her to win the Republican primary in a shootout. :D

8. LOL!

It's Showdown at the OK-Corral. The two gunslingers are: Katherine "Miss Tantalizing" and aging fatso, Jeb "Tough Guy" Bush.

Guess who is the better aim?

9. The real question is....

who's the better target...????If she got hit in the boob...she'd be flying around and around, like a balloon that loses it's air..Jeb is a total gasbag, and easier to hit...so...perhaps it could be considered a blow out at ok corral..
