Of course, she’s no [Madelaine Albright](http://www.plus.es/media/noticias/diaadia/20040604/040621/madelaine.jpg)… Or [Janet Reno](http://www.usdoj.gov/crt/ada/images/agreno.jpg)… Or [Donna Shalala](http://www.cnn.com/HEALTH/9810/06/transplant.success/link.shalala.jpg)… Or [Patty Murray](http://murray.senate.gov/images/news/murray2002color-full.jpg)… She is, however, Republican. ---

Actually, I’m making jokes because she comes across as a pathetic phony even more so than other politicians, and that ain’t easy to do. My ridiculing is entirely apolitical. It’d be nice if you could step outside of your partisan views to enjoy the sheer absurdity of this woman and her chest thrusting, rather than assuming we’re all rabid democratic shills. 🙂 ---

I _don’t_ like her politics. But that has nothing to do with her iron jawed horseface. If she were a democrat, a liberatarian, a communist or an anarchist, I would still think she was ugly. I don’t like overly forced smarmy fake insincere smiles and overdone makeup. ---

I think testimony is offered from the wrong sources, assuming, as I am, that most of us who have opined so far are impaired of such judgement, due to testosterone poisoning. You gotta ask the ladies. They know. If Ms Harris is setting her phazers on “stun”, we of the leering lech gender are likely to be too addled to gauge such subtleties as angular posture and profile. We should hear from them. ---

Even though I’m testostrone poisoned, she’s not smuggling grapefruits, and it’s fairly evident that her breasts are entirely moderate and normal in size. What sets them off is her relatively trim waist. Women with bodies like this will dress to enhance the hip-waist differential and accentuate the breasts because men like that look. ---

[minor hijack] For some reason, I always get Katherine Harris confused with the author Karthryn Harrison who wrote a memoir about the incestuous affiar she had with her father as an adult. The first time this came to light was during the election debacle. I turned to hubby when she was on TV-- “Didn’t she fuck her father?” “No, honey, that’s Kathr_y_n Harris_on_.” It became a bit of a running joke. Every time I saw her, I would chime, “Didn’t she fuck her father?” And my husband would smilingly correct me. One day we saw an interview with the author. Before I could say anything, Hubby intoned, “Now, _she_ fucked her father!” [/end hijack] ---

Katherine Harris did better than that. She fucked her whole _country_. And does she ever even call? :dubious: ---

I’m going to be completely serious here. I think that she’s behaved like a bimbo since she entered the national scene in 2000, and now that she’s basically being treated like one, she’s blaming “the press” for her behavior. Robin ---
