A silver Cadillac "swerved off the road and drove up the sidewalk" heading "straight towards Ms. Harris," according to the police arrest report.

"Harris stated that she was afraid for her life," according to the police report, "and could not move as the vehicle approached her."

No one was injured in the alleged incident

1. "No one was injured"

Damn underachievers. Never send a man to do a woman's job......

On edit: Yeah, I was kidding too Mr. Ashcroft....sort of...

2. Maybe it was her husband

Seriously, I'm very suspicious of this story. Seems designed to make everyone sympathize with "poor Katherine" the day after an embarrassing video of her behaving unprofessionally at work was broadcast live on C-Span.

7. take away his driver's license

Katherine Harris is not a speed bump. Unfortunately. :evilgrin:

4. Can we donate to his legal defense fund. If we can get the Charges

dismissed, he might get another and more effective Chance. (I am only kidding, the FBI does not need to come to my house)

6. "She already looked like roadkill,"

the man said to police.

8. that was close...

Thank God she wasn't injured or killed. Seriously. I'll bet the freepers are already claiming it was an organized Democratic attempt at a "hit" on her. Imagine the accusations if she'd been hurt or killed- I shudder to think.

Honestly, I'm shocked that the good people of FL would elect this woman after 2000.

9. The only surprising thing about this is

that nobody tried to do it before.

10. Oh boy

12. Can We Nominate Him for a "Medal of Freedom"????

:shrug:

13. The BEST line in this story:

"I was exercising my political expression," it quoted him as saying. "I did not run them down, I scared them a little."

[GRLMGC]

14. I don't know why

but I started laughing when I saw that. I just imagined Harris frozen as some man w/ a crazy look in his eye was driving towards her. Seriously though, running people down is bad, mmmkay?
