FL-SEN: Harris To Staffers: "What Are You, Stupid?"
Sure, it's just piling on at this point, but what the heck. The St. Petersburg Times today spoke to a bunch more former Katherine Harris staffers who talked on the record about what a nightmare working for Harris was:
One minute, U.S. Rep. Katherine Harris would lavish campaign staffers with praise and hugs. The next she would lose her temper, screaming "stupid" or "idiot" at a startled employee.
More:
They cited her demeaning comments, her practice of pitting staffers against each other, her unwillingness to take advice and her penchant for getting caught up for days in the tiniest details, such as the exact shade of blue to use on her business cards... Once, she threw her cell phone at a wall. Another time she slammed a computer keyboard into a desk... To younger staffers, she would say "What are you, stupid?" or "That's the stupidest thing I ever heard" while complaining the campaign did not have enough Ivy League-educated employees. To older staffers, she would say, "You ruined my life."For more Harris fun, check in with Justin Rood of TPM muckraker, who brings word of Harris' ex-con driver and her one-woman debate.

Once a pouting debutante, always a pouting debutante.
The trouble is, that act looks disturbing on a 50's-ish woman.
I think we now know whatever happened to Baby Jane.

I think we should start a mental-care fund for Harris. I will also need therapy to get over the guilt I will soon feel for laughing so hard at this sad, sad woman.

Is this even relevant anymore? Isn't the Republican party going to nominate somebody else?
Not that any Republican can beat Ben Nelson anyway. He's seemingly cruising to victory.
I admit it's fun seeing Harris implode but all this focus takes away from other races that might matter.
She's already in the dust-bin of history.
