Last Tuesday, U.S. Rep. Katherine Harris attended a ceremony with the president of the United States at MacDill Air Force base in Tampa.
It was a critical moment in her campaign for the U.S. Senate, a race her own Republican Party leadership doesn't believe she can win. Her ensemble: a body-hugging, sea foam green suit with lace trim, slit skirt, green open-toed slingback shoes and a multistrand pearl choker.
On Wednesday, state House Speaker Alan Bense declined the GOP's pleas to take Harris on, making her the party's leading Senate candidate. But it seemed people were talking more about that green outfit than any other campaign issue.
They talked about its tightness. Its greenness. Its laciness. And those shoes. They talked about how it might have been a lovely getup for a wedding. Or a garden party. Or perhaps a nice private dinner out.
But she was appearing at an official function at a time one might have thought she was seeking to convey gravitas, not girlishness.

She's a little odd but compared to the wacked out dems it seems pretty simple. Nelson hasn't done a single positive thing to help this state out since he's been in office.
If it would get Greermurder off the bench, I'd vote for it
I'd do her.
Of course, fugure=figure.
I agree, Jeb has been a great Gov , but what he said was way weak .
Wow, Timmy likee!
Maybe I am a too open on these things but I really dont think her outfit is inappropriate. I suppose people are thing that fact the outfit shows she has breast makes this imappropriate. Well we know there there she isnt even showing any skin.
You're wrong ! Nelson has made Algore look intelligent , a once impossible feat...
Looks similar to the lampshade depicted in "A Christmas Story"
Sounds like a stupid complaint to me. From the text, I expected her to look like a hooker. But the picture isn't bad.
This is someone making a mountain out of a...well, out of a...forget it.
The concept behind the story is silly. I ask you, would such nonsense be published if she were a man, or a Lib? She looks fine, wee little catty ones. Now may we discuss the issues in her senatorial campaign, please?
For sure - NOT! ;^)
I don't really see anything wrong with the outfit. It's not stuffy and she wears it well.
The problem I have is some in the GOP have gone out of their way to cut her off at the knees. I'm not sure she is clean following Duke Cunningham but those in the know should give her a thumbs up or down. This death of 1000 cuts they have been giving her is not right. Who are these people that get to decide who gets the nod to run? Shouldn't it be determined at the polls? Geez I must be naive.
She really should know better than open-toed shoes. That's probably the most commonly stated rule of professional dress.
Ok, we will see in the debates where she will shred that Forrest Gump clone
Good lord what was I thinking when I typed that. For those that dont read gibberish here I go again
Maybe I am a too open on these things but I really dont think her outfit is inappropriate. I suppose people are thinking that the fact the outfit shows she has breast makes this iappropriate. Well we know that they are there so whats the problem. She isnt even showing any skin.
Yes the SPT supported that slimeball prosecuter who refused to bring charges on ALL of the Jessica Lundsford murderers .
