U.S. Rep. Katherine Harris ready to dump more than $51,000 tied to Duke

[kpete]

Katherine Harris can't understand why she got so many mysterious donations from defense contractor MZM, Inc., but now that the company has become toxic in the wake of the demise of her good friend Duke Cunningham, she's decided to unload them:
U.S. Rep. Katherine Harris has changed her mind and is now ready to dump more than $51,000 in campaign donations that are tied to the growing scandal around former U.S. Rep. Randy "Duke" Cunningham.

(snip)

Harris spokeswoman Morgan Dobbs said Harris doesn't want to be linked with Cunningham and thought it was best to donate the money to a charity. Harris could not be reached Saturday for comment.

Cunningham and Harris have been helping each other on their campaigns for the past few years. In October 2004, Harris brought Cunningham to Sarasota to help her raise money and to attend a candidates debate with her.

1. "Mysterious donations"?

Puh-leeeeeeeeeezzzzz. Just how stupid do they think people are.

5. Gman, you know what is sad? Some people are just that STUPID

to believe her :-(

6. Top of the iceberg

Someone should take a closer look at who her other contributors are. On the other hand if she is running in Florida, no scandal would hurt her shoo-in chances since the fix is probably in with Jeb Bush as a supporter.

2. $51,000 buys about as much for Katherine as helping falsify an election.

Basically nothing in the long run.

7. But I think that's about how much she spends on makeup

per month.

3. as if that absolves them of the crime. Do jewell thieves become innocent

after selling the jewells they stole?

I mean, republican ethics are the most convoluted lizard entrails I've ever seen.

4. Psychotic freak...

Cruella and the rest of the rats are trying to desert the ship.

8. HAHAAHAHHAhaaa...omg

9. For that kind of money

They probably got to "meet her running mates" :puke:

10. After stealing the 2000 election, $51,000 is small potatoes

Harris' reputation precedes her. She should just go ahead and keep the dirty money. At least that way she wouldn't stray from the consistently corrupt path she's been on for the past 5 years.

12. I wonder what charity... DeLay/Rove defense fund? Native American Casino

gambling?
