REIGNING IN THE WILD HORSE...OR, IF THE SHOE FITS...

The AP had a story last evening noting that U.S. Senator Bill Nelson (D - Orlando) had admonished deputy chief-of-staff Dan McLaughlin this week for a remark made to a reporter in which the senator's likely general election opponent, Congresswoman Katherine Harris (R - Longboat Key), was referred to as a "bribe-taker".

The remark, which referred to Harris' receiving $32,000 in illegal contributions from disgraced defense contractor Mitchell Wade, was made in response to a question from an AP reporter following the congresswoman's appearance Monday in West Palm Beach.

According to Nelson spokesman Bryan Gulley, the senator spoke with McLaughlin the following day and "made it clear to Dan to speak only as he would speak and he wouldn't have used that characterization".

And, while we're on Ms. Harris, about this piece? There's no other way to do this but to post the bit from the Palm Beach Post political blog Q in it's entirity:

Katherine Harris says if she’s elected to the U.S. Senate she intends to travel everywhere with a guide dog. That tidbit was part of a profile of Harris in today’s New York Times.

According to the article, Harris says she wants to participate in a program that helps train seeing-eye dogs by pairing them with sighted volunteers.

“You can’t let them sleep in bed with you,” she says in the article. “Which is
going to be harder on me than the dog.”

The question one would have to ask here is just too easy to let drop: What does this say about her husband? Sounds like he would be odd man out.
