    You've got to be pretty dim to have your hands all over a colleague in direct view of the fixed angle C-SPAN camera in the U.S. House of Representatives.

    According to dKos, two freshman Republican members proved to be that unconscious. Not surprisingly, the woman on the right is none other than Katherine Harris of Florida. Apparently, she couldn't tolerate being left out of the Presidential campaign this time around. Her friend is carpetbagger Rick Renzi of Arizona (by way of Virginia) who used plenty of his own cash to help secure his election. Both congresspersons are married, and Renzi has 12 children.

    Oh ya, she's totally flirting with him.
    She's laughing at his jokes, sitting way too close, touching his arm too much, smiling a lot.
    Dude if I were her husband I'd be pissed. Oh, not because she's flirting with the dude, because I actually married that hose hound.
    Plus that Renzi guy is screwed when he gets home. You got a wife that popped out 12 little ones and youre flirting with that she beast on National TV? Dude, you're dead.

    I definitely saw how she was flirting, but he seemed far less into it than her. He never actually touched her, just laughed and listened. If he was flirting, it was WAY on the down-low.

    The second-termers know well enough to leave the flirting for the Senate restroom, where they do all the coke.

    She seems to get pretty giddy...






    ...and you never see his left hand.

    (there'll be some 'splaining to do at the Renzi household ;))

    Only a Republican congressman with erectile dysfunction would ever put "sex" and "Katherine Harris" together in the same thought.

    The guy was playing it cool and facing the direction of the speaker. Meanwhile that hound was all over him and didn't even look at the speaker at all. Nevertheless, both are busted.

    And when you are a member of Congress, I am sure that this behavior is even more pronounced.

    I live in Florida and have several friends who work at the Capitol in Tallahasse and know K Harris from her days as the Secretary of State. She comes from a family with a ton of money and she married a dude who is much older and has even more money. My one friend thinks she either has an open marriage, husband doesn't care or is too old to know the difference because he knew her to play around quite a bit. He nearly hooked up with her one night at a party. So this is not suprising. I will email him the video and see if he has anything to add

    Man accused of trying to run down Rep. Katherine Harris
    Wednesday, October 27, 2004 Posted: 1:46 PM EDT (1746 GMT)

    Barry Seltzer faces a charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.


    (CNN) -- Police in Sarasota, Florida, arrested a man accused of trying to run down Rep. Katherine Harris and her supporters with a car Tuesday, a police spokesman said.

    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.

    It happened as Harris and her supporters were campaigning in Sarasota, her spokeswoman said Wednesday.

    A witness to the incident saw part of the vehicle tag before the car left the scene, according to the report. Police matched the tag to a car registered to Barry Seltzer, 46, of Sarasota.

    After police tried to contact Seltzer, he came to to the Sarasota Police station where, according to a police report, he admitted trying to "intimidate" a group of Harris supporters.

    "I was exercising my political expression," Seltzer told police, according to the report.

    He was arrested on a charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. He is now in Sarasota County Jail, and is to have a court appearance Thursday.

    Harris emerged as a controversial figure during her role as Florida Secretary of State during the 2000 presidential election recount.

    She used that attention to fuel her campaign for the House of Representatives in 2002. In her bid for re-election, she faces Sarasota lawyer, Jan Schneider, who lost to Harris in the last election..

    Yikes! :eek: You'd think a Congressman could do a little better than that.

    On a general Congress note: i saw an Illinois senator on Al Franken last night who was talking about how he shared a house with 3 other Congressmen (I think) in DC. Apparently one of them is Chuck Shumer from NY and ol Chuck pisses his roomies off because he steals their cookies and eats them! How funny it would be to see two Senators arguing over that!
