Katy Lied

From Democratic Underground's Top Ten Idiots of the Week, we learn about another Katherine Harris lie:

Republican Rep. Katherine Harris said Wednesday she regrets making the claim that a plot existed to blow up the power grid in Carmel, Ind., a notion city officials disputed...

Harris, who was at the center of the political storm over the disputed 2000 presidential election, made the comments about terrorism and the plot on Monday at a rally for President Bush in Venice, Fla., and a subsequent interview with the Sarasota Herald-Tribune.

She told the audience that while in the Midwest recently, the mayor of Carmel told her how a man of Middle Eastern heritage had been arrested and hundreds of pounds of explosives were found in his home.

"He had plans to blow up the area's entire power grid," she said, according to the newspaper...

Questioned Wednesday, Harris' office issued a statement in which the congresswoman said, "I regret that I had no knowledge of the sensitive nature of this situation."

Well, I guess on the positive side, Katherine finds herself with a lot of company, namely, the entire Rethuglican leadershit--hmmm--that was a typo (it was supposed to be "leadership") but on second thought, it fits.

If you like your bullshit piled high and deep, then the Republican party is definitely for you...
