2. Ohio's Katherine Harris. America's humiliation.
She runs marathons. Bush works out. Healthy in body, horrid in mind and heart. But wealthy. What a country we have now.

or all approprations legislation? Remember Jean, pork for your district is your friend. Signing such pledges makes you useless to your district. Ah forget it, she's a "one and doner" anyhow.
