“Rush ‘Limpbaugh’ was detained -- for
more than three hours at the Palm Beach Airport after officials found a bottle
of Viagra in his possession with someone else's name on it. … How ironic is

Jenna to Teach South of the Border

Katherine Harris - Delusional or Typical Republican?
The claim was startling.
At a Republican dinner in Putnam County last weekend, Rep. Katherine Harris said
some very unlikely people were supporting her campaign for U.S. Senate.
Harris said several House Democrats from Florida want her to defeat Democratic

In the past, she has claimed the media doctored photos
of her, described a nonexistent plot to blow up a power grid in Indiana and
urged Florida scientists to treat citrus canker with a solution that turned out
to be water.
More recently she has endured an exodus of staff members and has been linked to
a defense contractor who pleaded guilty to bribing a former California
congressman.
