New Harris Employee Said He Disguised Contributions In '95

TAMPA - Federal investigators said the new deputy treasurer for the Katherine Harris Senate campaign acknowledged he was part of an illegal campaign contribution scheme in 1995 - similar to two others that have involved Harris.

The new Harris staff member, Timothy C. Beall, was working for Pat Buchanan's presidential campaign, according to the Federal Election Commission.

Commission records say Beall was one of several campaign employees given cash and told to write checks to the campaign in their own names. Those checks were counted as contributions from employees, a disguise that is illegal under federal election laws.

According to the commission's January 2002 report, Beall acknowledged doing this. No one was charged because the five-year statute of limitations had expired.

Ingram said Beall told him "it was a matter of his name being attached to the report and there wasn't much to it.

Beall, an Arlington, Va., lawyer, joined the Harris team when former treasurer Nancy Watkins of Tampa left in February. Ingram said Beall was vetted by former campaign fundraiser Anne Dunsmore.

Beall has also worked for the Bush-Cheney 2000 Recount Fund and for religious conservative Gary Bauer's 2000 presidential campaign.

1. Beall: shut the fuck up

We do not want her forced out of the race.

Come on: girl, fight, fight, fight, against all of these nasty bad people who are trying to impugn your good name. You can do it, and it will be worth every penny of your daddy's ten million simoleans.

2. What's the big deal? It's not like they caught me in time or something.

Poor Katherine. With a campaign crippled by dirty money,
she couldn't find an honest Republican to associate with
if her life depended on it.

Hang in there Kathy! It's only six months until November.
Spend your whole fortune if you have to.

3. We need volunteers in Florida

to steady their gorge and keep showing up at rallies, speeches, etc. We must at least give her the appearance of traction so she stays in past the primary.

After that, the crowds can get much, much thinner.

4. Rove tricks

You mean you want to use Karl's methods against him? Not a bad idea.

5. Let's write letters to the editors in support of Harris

We'll commend her on the bravery it took to spend millions of taxpayer dollars putting Jewish Holy Water on Citrus crops to try and save them from a canker blight.

Only someone clearly willing to think outside-the-box would have tried something so risky.

Thank you, Katherine Harris.

We love you.

PS: Nice tits.

6. Are there any Republicans employed in politics

who HAVEN'T done something illegal? Must be a pretty short list.

7. You can't make stuff like this up --

8. God has a sense of humor. Really, he gave us a fossil that can not be

there to fuck with our heads and then there is this bitch to spin our heads around.
