Media Investigating Katherine Harris' Sex Life
Members of the liberal media establishment have called her a
"crook," criticized her clothes, hair and make-up and passed
along threats from the Gore campaign that she'd be subjected to
an investigation that will "make Whitewater look like a picnic."
Now the same folks who decried Monicagate as "a sexual witch
hunt" are probing Florida Secretary of State Katherine Harris'
sex life, according to the New York Post's Neal Travis.
"I hear that some major magazines -- and I don't mean the
tabloids -- are delving deeply into what, if any, relationship
exists between Florida Governor Jeb Bush and his secretary of
state, Katherine Harris," reported Travis on Thursday.
Harris, who is married to a Swedish businessman, is expected to
certify Florida's presidential election results on Sunday and
remains a major player in the post-election drama.
But it's a measure of the level of Clintonian viciousness that
still animates many mainstream newsrooms that this kind of story
could even be considered, let alone actively pursued, as part of
a growing campaign to scare Harris off. |
