Florida Secretary of State Katherine Harris is the classic victim of our double-standard on aging: Just when a woman gets old enough to be powerful, she is punished for not looking like a girl.


The loathing of Katherine Harris


Slammed by media’s double standard


By Caryl Rivers
SPECIAL TO MSNBC.COM



Nov. 30 — Not since a pale Richard Nixon locked horns with a tanned John F. Kennedy in the first televised presidential debate in 1960 has make-up been a major subject of political dialogue in the U.S. But now, 40 years later, journalists, talk show hosts and comedians have been having a field day with the powder and mascara used by Florida Secretary of State Katherine Harris. She burst onto the national scene trying to certify Texas Gov. George W. Bush as the winner of the state’s electoral votes, undoubtedly not expecting her cosmetics to get almost as much ink as Florida’s dimpled and undimpled chads.
