Katherine Harris and a women scorned could be the next lesson for BushCo.
While I have no doubt that even the most deluded of GOP party partisans realizes that Harris is a horrible candidate and that they will absolutely lose (without Operation Diebold) if she is the candidate, I am curious about the latest news of her abandonement by the party in FL. If she is privy to the most damning of information concerning BushCo's election thefts in Florida what makes the Bushistas so confident that she won't eventually start squealing? It is most likely that she was never involved in anything beyond "Hey toots, go read this statement" during the 2000 election.

It would be wonderful however if she did have some dirt and did start talking.

9. of course you are so right.
that tangled web of deceit mixed with serious insanity should leave some interesting tales.

2. I think if she starting talking about election 2000 she would implicate
herself. So bushco is safe.

7. People implicate themselves all the time.
It's what plea-bargaining is all about.

8. Precisely
She would be subject to State courts with no immunity. Bush would have to be impeached by a House of Representatives (which is likely to have, at best, a slim Democratic majority) and then convicted by the Senate (which is likely to be evenly divided between Democrats & Republicans.) This is assuming any evidence of his direct involvement exists (what? you think Karl Rove doesn't have access to a shredder? or compromising photos of anyone who could testify against BushCo?)
This is the essence of the "Cut-out." Neither Junior or Jeb was probably even in Florida when any criminal offences were committed, let alone leaving their fingerprints on the evidence.

10. The last three federal elections have been stolen. Now, all the
vulnerable-to-corruption electronic voting machines are in place. The Supreme Court is even more under control of the right-wing crazies than it was in 2000.

And jail-time is awaiting many powerful members of Congress and the Administration if one or both houses fall into Democratic hands.

Do you really think the recent trend of fixed elections is going to be broken?

If Katherine Haris is tossed overboard, she'd better swim for shore, keep her mouth shut and avoid small aircraft.

12. Incriminating evidence could have been part of Jeff Gannon's job...
to sleep with VIPs so they could get it on tape to use as blackmail.

You know, LIEberman, Byrd, Nelson... they're very cooperative with the Repukes lately, aren't they?

Some people say.

4. She will be sufficiently
marginalized that only the "loonie left" will believe her.

5. I've wondered about that.
She comes across as such a flake that perhaps BushCo isn't too worried about what she might say. They can just claim sour grapes on her part.

Still, if she does know something I hope she gets it out there before she goes anywhere in a small plane.

6. She Won't Talk
If you think we're going to learn anything resembling the truth from her, I've got a bridge to sell you.

Are you kidding me? She's one of them. She'll die as one of them. Even though she's not at their level, she's loyal to the core. She'll take the occasional abuse and ridicule from her own party, but she'll ALWAYS STAY LOYAL TO THE FIRM!

She did what she did, and would do it all over again if given the chance. I won't be satisfied until she's gone from public life forever.

11. "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned" comes to mind.

Katherine could really sink the SS Bush if they're not nice to her.

Let's hope they piss her off even more.
