Katherine Harris...why do we even bother?
Congresswoman Kathleen Harris apparently can't be bothered when her constituents get the crap kicked out of them by a hurricane.
When Charley hit Florida, Ms Harris was in Europe attending a wedding. According to the DCCC, Harris missed 28 flights home after Charley hit.
Harris' reply, "I've never been a press hound."
The 13th Congressional District which Harris represents includes some of the hardest hit counties in Florida including Charlotte, DeSoto and Hardee. Bush managed to drag himself to Florida..yet Harris couldn't?
According to the Sarasota Herald Tribune Harris was in Sweden on Friday when Charley hit but didn't manage to tour the devastation until Tuesday. Harris claims that she cut her European visit short...but it took her four days to tour the region. I just came back from Europe a few weeks ago. It takes about 8 hours to fly from London to DC. How long can it take to fly from Sweden to Florida? 10 at most?
Harris can't seriously think it's appropriate to tell the people of her district that she couldn't get back to Florida in a timely manner because she's "not a press hound"?
