What goes around comes around

Well, not necessarily — unless you believe in such superstitious, karmic nonsense. But sometimes it’s good to see a complete shithead get his/her comeuppance in the most appropriate way.
Bush Brothers No Longer Back Harris
May 12, 2006 — Little in U.S. politics is quite as uncomfortable as the cold shoulder.
That’s what the Bush brothers — the president and Florida governor — are giving their onetime champion Rep. Katherine Harris, R-Fla.
Harris really wants to run for Senate this year. She’s pledged to spend $10 million of her own inheritance on the race. Few think she can win, though, so for months behind the scenes the Bushes have been trying unsuccessfully to chase Harris out of the race and recruit someone stronger.
Now, their rejection is quite public.
“I just don’t believe she can win,” Florida Gov. Jeb Bush said this week. Harris was elected in 2002 to her first term in Congress, representing the 13th District of Florida.
One reason for her unpopularity — the Florida recount. Almost six years ago, Harris put her popularity on the line to help the Bush brothers as Florida’s secretary of state. After all, despite being the top election official in the state, she also had co-chaired the Bush for President Florida operation in 2000.
She certified the vote for Bush on the timeline the Bush campaign wanted. In fact, she wanted to ignore a judge’s order to delay her certification of the election at least a day, but was talked out of ignoring that order by her lawyers.
Behind the scenes, Harris did her own machinations. She sent underling Kerey Carpenter to cozy up to a vote-counting judge, Charles Burton of Palm Beach County, and encourage him to seek advice from Harris’ office, without telling him that once the county canvassing board did so Harris’ opinion would be binding.
She retained ChoicePoint to remove felons from the voting rolls, ignoring complaints for years that the firm had continuously removed legitimate voters, ones who often had ethnic names.
See what happens when you are myopic? Sell your soul by getting in bed with the power du jour… Wake up a few years later to find out they’ve kicked you out of bed and said “good riddance.”
You can just see her drunkenly throwing her wine glass against her living room wall and screaming: “You fuckers! After I ass-raped The Constitution with a strap-on for you??!!”
Oh, Katy. We hardly knew ya (thank gawd). Um… Buh-bye!

I am suprised they are doing this to her because of the secrets she may have and tell. God must have given Dub-ya a sign (the writting on the wall that says ya’ll gonna lose honkys). This seems to be a last ditch effort like the marriage amendment to keep control of the House and Senate.

Yes, we’re seeing some desperation from God’s Own Party. Still, it’s a long way to November. We have a whole hurricane season to live through. Maybe the GOP will convince the sheeple that hurricanes come from Iran and if we have a “strong” foreign policy and simply nuke Iran, all will be right with gawd’s green (glowing) earth. Who knows what the fuck may go down?

Harris’s maneuverings for Bush during the election were blatant and disgusting. Good riddance to that despicable woman. Time for a book deal I guess.

I think I hit on the title already:

Right back atcha, Chuck. Feel the love. Wait, I thought atheists were “smart and mean.” (an old inside joke here at GifS… something one of our former whacko Xians once said about us)

Katherine’s two brain cells rubbed together at an inappropriate moment and had her doing dinner with “Duke” Cunningham bagman Mitchell Wade- he of the MZM defense contractor, and taking thirty odd grand from that poisoned tree. This may be why the Shrubs are distancing themselves from her- well, that and they have no loyalty to anyone but themselves and even that is suspect and she looks like the wicked witch of the west except not as sexy. Her look and personality remind me of the loser girl who gets taken to the prom by the quarterback as a joke and then drenched in pig’s blood. Except Katherine has no supernatural powers with which to decimate the gym. I bet she’d like to though.

[...] Now, I realize that anyone tied to the Creation Evidence museum is automatically asshatted and that Ms. Harris is so out of the loop that the Brothers Bush no longer take her calls. And I’m painfully aware of the ridiculous bastardization of the once hermetic and interesting Qabbalah by celebs with their bracelets and bottled water. Further, I’m well aware that, in and of themselves, these stories can’t touch a Jehovah’s Witness arsenic child murder for sheer heartstring plucking but, perhaps, just perhaps, they’ll cleanse the palate or dust off the old funny bone, as we watch the FUCKTARDS get crazier and crazier like some metaphysical KURU. Indulge. [...]
