By way of the ever-delightful Wonkette: > [@](#): > > …“Katherine, though it causes us much anguish, we have determined that your campaign faces irreparable damage,” the letter said. “We feel that we have no other choice but to revoke our support.” > > The letter was signed by Party Chair Carole Jean Jordan, along with “national committeewoman Sharon Day and national committeeman Paul Senft.”… Haven’t laughed so hard since they shot Old Yeller! I’ll keep this first one short, kinda hard to type with tears of mirth streaming down my face… ---

When you finish the happy dance, how about finding a linky-link? I’d like to read the story in its entirety to see if there’s any more funny bits. ---

Karma. Watching it in action is like watching a lion bring down an antelope. Swift, beautiful, graceful, terrifying, brutal and merciless. Only instead of an antelope it’s a complete bitch with way too much makeup on. ---

Yeah, but dear Ms Harris has sworn to fund her own campaign if the pubbies drop their support—she is rich enough to do it. Personally, I hope she spends it all, loses, can’t find a job, and ends up homeless and with some fulminating disease. Leprosy would be okay. ---

Wait a minute, wouldn’t it be better if they supported her, and she actually faced Nelson, then got slaughtered? Is there a chance the GOP could back someone who poses a real threat to Nelson? I’ll save the happy dance for for the day after the general election when we retake both houses of Congress. ---

Is there a chance the GOP could back someone who poses a real threat to Nelson? I’ll save the happy dance for for the day after the general election when we retake both houses of Congress. Yeah, that is a possibility, I suppose. My personal fantasy is that this ticks her off enough to publish an insider “tell all” about the 2000 election. ---

I don’t think that Harris could publish an accurate insider “tell-all” about the 2000 election without placing herself in serious jeopardy of fulfilling the one non-sexual women in prison fantasy I have – i.e., Harris goes to prison. There has always been considerable speculation that her conduct of the 2000 election was illegal in some respects. ---

Wow. I know the Republicans are only in this to cover their asses, but a grudging drop of respect was earned with that letter. A publicity whore with sketchy ethics is told to go packing… awesome. She was an embarrassment - and for a party with the likes of Duke Cunningham, Tom DeLay, and Trent Lott, that’s really saying something. I love how she overcalculated her hand - being Bush’s lackey in Florida in 2000 didn’t get you much, did it? And she’s just so delusional and arrogant that she will limp on to get her ass kicked by Bill Nelson. (And how amazing is it that although she leads among Republican candidates, they still don’t want to endorse her?) Karma’s a bitch, bitch. ---
