Oh, it doesn't get better than this! Can you see it: Katherine Harris shaking a tin can on a street corner, garbed in an old, flea-bitten mink stole, some shabby faux pearl necklace, and mismatched loafers, begging for change on a Tampa street corner? Well, you've got to give her this: she's an optimist! HAW HAW

TAMPA - U.S. Rep. Katherine Harris continued her attempt to take her campaign to national television and to add religious overtones to her quest for a U.S. Senate seat with an appearance on ABC News "Nightline" Tuesday.

Harris told John Donvan, of "Nightline," that she intends to sell all her personal assets to fund the race. "My husband has real estate, but I will not own anything."

Since making a pledge last week to put $10 million of her money into the race, Harris has made the phrase "putting everything on the line" a new campaign theme.

"I am willing to take this widow's mite, this pearl of great price, and put everything on the line," she told Donvan. "No matter how much you have, are you willing to take what you have and sell it all for a great price?"

1. Both of them?

:)

[Kierkegaard]

4. Well, she would look kind of silly

with only one side of her sweater overly engorged, don't you think?

:+

[ladjf]

23. Oh man, you're in trouble now. Prepare to get flamed.

[Saphire]

2. A fool and her money..........

[Warpy]

13. She just wants to be a good Christian wife

meaning completely dependent on her husband financially as well as subject to all his whims.

I'm sure that's just a little piece of paradise to that stupid woman.

[ladjf]

24. If she wants to be a good Christian woman then she ought to

quit doing it for money.

[Greeby]

3. Isn't that what shes been doing all along

With her "running mates"? :evilgrin:

[soothsayer]

5. I thought she was going to sell her ass...

[Jackpine Radical]

14. Shit. I just KNEW

somebody would have beat me to that line.

I hate it when that happens.

[displacedtexan]

6. Her husband's $20 million will just have to do, won't it?

The $10 million is her inheritance.

Her husband's money will, of course, continue to support her lifestyle.

[npincus]

9. I'm selling my Maybelline stock NOW...

[lpbk2713]

29. She will inherit a hell of a lot more than a measly 10 Million.

Her old man was worth well over $700 Million when he expired.

Her father, Polk County banker George Harris, died of a heart attack in January. He was reported to have assets worth more than $750 million.

7. Pearl of Great Price??? Isn't that a euphemism for virginity????

What a stupid woman!!!!!!!!

I think she could always make money as a pole dancer, what with her new bust and all...everyone enjoys an absurd curiosity, kinda like watching a squirrel on a miniature bicycle....

[Geoff R. Casavant]

27. Not a euphemism for virginity.

It's an allegory from one of the Gospels about the kingdom of God.

[Sydnie]

8. She won't own anything .... until the deeds are changed after she

blows her money ... or until her husband dies and she inherits THAT TOO!

Is she going to sell those implants too? Seems she consider them "assets" judging by her side view interviews.

[bluedeminredstate]

17. Only b/c I'm a catty bitch,

I must know more about these implants! Did I miss this story somehow? Do tell everything - when, where and how it came to be public! Please...
:)

[Sydnie]

19. I have not hard evidence, but that interview with her totally in

profile spoke volumes about it. She went from non-descript to "full figured" overnight.

There are some great pics of her on horseback floating around DU too. Tight pink sweater and horse between her legs. :rofl:

I would LOVE IT if we could get the real skinny on her surgeries. Look at her face ... she has had work done all over!

[Brazenly Liberal]

10. Kathy, sweetie, let's talk

Honey, you're 15 minutes are over. Your "assets" aren't worth the kind of money it would take to get it back.

[Botany]

11. Guaranteed that she has millions in the Cayamens or a Swiss Bank

For her help in 2000.

5 million at the least.

[Turbineguy]

12. She can stand

on a street corner with that I'm-not-waiting-for-a-bus look on her face. Maybe turn a few tricks.

[thereismore]

15. She really wants to serve the people.

:sarcasm:

Only she forgot that public office does not have a pricetag on it.

[Generic Other]

16. She'll risk her fortune because she knows Congressional lobbyists

will help her double it if she wins. Hope she goes bankrupt. Ugly wretch.

[wryter2000]

18. Make her spend it all dot com

A caller on AAR mentioned this website yesterday...

[npincus]

20. har har- good one!

[Ganja Ninja]

21. Once again what happened to all the bribe money?

She keeps babbling on about her money. I don't care about her money. I want to know about all the money she's been getting under the table.

[lpbk2713]

22. Harris is worth at least $39 Million according to this AP article.

Link: http://www.wfts.com/stories/2006/03/060322harris.shtml

Nelson's spokesman, Dan McLaughlin, wrote in an e-mail to The Associated Press that Harris' comments Tuesday were misleading.

"Katherine Harris would have Florida voters believe she's on the verge of being destitute because, she claims, she has put all her inherited $10-million fortune on the line," McLaughlin said. "But public records put her remaining net worth at up to $39 million. You simply cannot believe a single thing Katherine Harris says, about this or anything else."


And her $10 Million combined with this $39 Million is really just small change if you consider what she is going to inherit from the recent death of her 'daddy'. He was said to have been worth at least $700 Million.

So the poor little rich girl isn't so poor after all. Not even close to it.

[Fridays Child]

25. She vows to sell her ass?

[Kingshakabobo]

30. LOL. Good one! n/t

[savemefromdumbya]

26. selling her assets - you mean she is going to be a hooker?

[Geoff R. Casavant]

28. The use of "Widow's Mite" offends me

The original Widow's Mite referred to an account in the gospels, with a woman who put two copper coins in the Temple treasury. Jesus said she gave more than the rich folks who tossed in sacks of gold, because they gave of what they had to spare, and she gave what she needed for herself.

I feel confident that Ms. Harris is not going to be missing any meals because of personally funding her ego-trip.
