THE REAL CULPRIT. I'm truly going to miss the old girl when she loses by a couple of miles in November. Perhaps in gratitude to Mark Foley for declining to run for the Senate, thereby enabling her to put together the most singular combination of incompetence and public nutbaggery in the history of American electoral politics, Katherine Harris cuts right to the heart of the ongoing scandal -- if you're keeping score at home, the Republican leadership of the House knew nothing of any of this, but the omnipotent Democratic leadership sat on this information until just the right moment.
Katie, you've been a joy. Some day, I'll figure out how you beat the rap in Salem.
