Katherine Harris watch

By R. Neal / March 7, 2006

This is going to be good. Wonder what will happen at this weekend's GOP extravaganza in Memphis? At any rate, check out this letter to the editor:

Katherine Harris is repeatedly featured on Page One because a defense contractor broke the law by having his company employees and their relatives send her illegal "straw" campaign contributions. There was no wrongdoing by Katherine Harris, who was the victim.

The letter writer goes on to mention that "Hillary Clinton did it too!" This is a textbook example of the classic right-wing defense when one of their own gets caught red-handed. Their guy is always the victim, and the Clintons are always involved.
