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.

Somebody took there toys and they don't have anything to play with.
Some folks can;t keep there mouth shut either.
Yeah the hate will eat them up . Must be a miserable existence
When they catch her in just the right (wrong) pose, her countenance looks a bit haggish. Maybe the showy outfit is to keep attention away from her face.
I wonder if she does fugues as well.
What does the Palm Tree Pravda want? A Hillary Clinton Pants Suit?
LOL Agreed!
Yeah women are supposed to have breasts , unless something has changed that I don't know about . It's not a problem to me if a woman wears a dress or suit . We need a picture of Sen . Debbie Stabenow from Michigan and all of the negative comments about Harris' appearance will vanish .
KH looked great in that suit, she could probably wear a sack and look good...but that's not the point. She looked more like arm candy than an up and coming lady senator.
That's not sexist either... could you imagine a man running sporting a Miami Vice, Don Johnson style outfit? I suppose we would be arguing that his pecs showed up nicely under the tight T....
Some people as just jealous. That suit does not look green in that picture. They want her to look like a lesbian dyke Planned Parenthood non woman. She looks just fine.
Hugh Hewitt has trashed the St Petersburg Times as well.
Yikes - whata nasty comment. She is pushing 50 fer crying out loud. I think she looks great.
Dunno. But I do know that one night with her would put me into a fugue.
Old crusty.
The st.pete t. and the palm beach post are the two biggesst liberal rags in FL.
Remember the ghastly mug that got published during the heat of the Bush-Gore vote counting brouhaha. Well OK, it was newspaper resolution and she had waaaaaaaaaay too much make up on.
