Cruella Corruption?

Katherine "Cruella D'evil" Harris of 2000 recount infamy has a wee problem with dirty money. "Unwitting"? Doubtful. "Witless"? Undoubtedly. Maybe she can sprinkle some of the Kabbalistic Holy Water she was hawking a while back on this and make it go away.

Harris Requested Funds At Behest of Contractor

Rep. Katherine Harris (R-Fla.) has acknowledged that she requested last year that $10 million in federal funds be set aside for a Navy intelligence program in her district at the request of Washington contractor Mitchell J. Wade, who pleaded guilty last week to bribing another House member.

Harris, who gained notoriety as secretary of state in Florida during the contested Bush-Gore presidential race in 2000, is running for the Senate this year. News media in her home state have been focusing on her dealings with Wade since prosecutors disclosed last week that she was the unwitting recipient of $32,000 in illegal campaign donations from Wade in 2004.
