TALLAHASSEE -- Katherine Harris gave her campaign more than $3 million to run for the Senate but then took back $100,000 to finish renovating her "historic home in Washington, D.C.," her campaign revealed Friday.

"I have never heard of a candidate taking money out of a campaign coffer like it's an ATM. It absolutely boggles my mind," former Harris campaign manager Jim Dornan said. "This is a woman who has completely lost touch with reality. You don't take your campaign contributors' money, whether it's yours or not, and spend it to renovate your house. This is absolutely insane."

:spray: :rofl:

10. Yes, but when this crazy old bat was helping the bushes
to steal the white house, no one criticized her. I don't see that she's doing anything nuttier now than she did day after day in 2000.

:freak: :argh: :wtf:
