I’m not sure where this question should go, so I’m putting it in here.

I saw a video of Katherine Harris’s recent interview on Hannity & Colmes and I noticed that she kept trying to position herself with respect to the camera that seemed to be calculated to … uh … show off her bust. I got to wondering whether she had it recently enhanced and was eager that it be noticed.

The video is available here – [http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,165301,00.html](http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,165301,00.html)

Well, since this is Fox News, maybe they’re digitally enhancing them to help her out.

Heh, it did look like she was showing 'em off a little. Of course, even if they are natural she could still also want people to notice them.

Watch her with the sound off – it’s really strange. Why would anyone stand in this way, instead of squarely facing the camera? It’s like she’s modeling on a home shopping channel or something.

I also watched without sound, and noticed that. I suspect that maybe watching with sound it wouldn’t have been noticable, because the viewer might be distracted somewhat by the dialogue.

Don’t watch it with sound. You’ll simply be disappointed that someone that stupid could get elected to office. I couldn’t stand listening to her inane comments.

Mind you, this is coming from a libertarian who often votes Republican.

You’re right, it’s bizarre. It does seem that every time she slips into a “facing forward” bodily stance, she corrects herself so that her chest is somewhat in profile…all the while looking the camera straight in the eye.

I don’t know what her bustline was like previously (which would be necessary to know if it’s actually enhanced), but it sure looks like she’s trying to show off the twins.

Looks a bit different than I recall her in 2000, but I can’t find any good torso shots of her from then. It appears that she was not flat then, but she does appear to have gone up a cup size.

A bit OT but what I’ve always noticed is that she seems to be in permanent flirt mode whenever you see her talking to someone on t.v. (even women). It makes me embarrassed for my gender. She may not have slept her way to the top, but she definitely batted her eyes there. So my guess - yes she’s enhanced, because she’d consider that an important career move.

After watching the video, I’d have to say she watched the Miss America pageant before the interview. She looks just like a contestant, if she were in a bikini and high heels. I watched it without sound, and at one point, the interview appears to be asking her about her gazangas.

Please don’t tell me she Vaselined her teeth and rubber-cemented her bikini bottom to her ass. Please.

I thought the same thing. Particularly with the sound off, she looks like she’s in full beauty pageant mode.

I looked through various websites and couldn’t find anything that said she had ever actually been a pageant winner, but she is 4th-generation Floridian, so maybe she absorbed the coaching via osmosis.

She’s “Sooo Excited!”

If I had to guess, Victoria’s Secret gel shaping bra adds one full size.

First of all, that’s not a bad-lookin’ republican.

Second, my guess is that she’s wearing a seriously foundational undergarment in that picture to keep the girls from flopping around, which would tend to crop a cup size or two…

She definately looks to be in some kind of ‘modeling’ stance. I don’t know why there is so much talk about her looks and make-up… she’s not a particularly attractive (or necessarily unattractive) woman. Is she the one that keeps bringing up the issue of her looks? I don’t know anything about the history of her breasts.

haven’t looked at the video, but I like simple guesses. She is a politician making her first run at a high-profile office. My guess is she had some image consultants give her some expensive and misunderstood advice. She may be posing like that because that is what she thinks her image people told her to do. But I haven’t seen the video and don’t really care to. She will learn the ropes in time.

That’s my take after watching the video. BTW, why is she being interviewed by Moe from _The Simpsons_?
