Katherine Harris Tries Raising the Dead: In This Case, Joe Scarborough's Dead Office Worker

As you may recall, I've run the story before of how, right after now TV talk show bore Joe Scarborough mysteriously put a quick end to his Congressional career, a woman working in his office died under mysterious circumstances right there on his office floor; the medical examiner who ruled it a natural death is pretty questionable himself.

But that's a story for another political race.

Here's what Florida Senate hopeful and Florida vote stealer extradinaire Katherine ("There's no such thing as too much makeup or too large boobs!") Harris tried to do with the information, from Wonkette:

It was Joe Scarborough, host of the prime-time MSNBC show Scarborough Country and a former Pensacola Republican congressman who was courted last summer by national Republicans to run against Harris. But before he could announce he wouldn’t, Harris called major donors and suggested Scarborough would have to answer questions about the strange death of a former staff member in 2001, according to two former high-level Harris staff members, a GOP donor and Scarborough.

Not fast enough for Harris, who called donors like Pensacola developer Collier Merrill. Merrill told The Miami Herald that Harris suggested Scarborough was going to have trouble when “they start asking questions… about that dead girl,” Fort Walton Beach staff member Lori Klausutis.Dornan said he overheard Harris tell more than one donor: “I don’t know what he’s thinking when he’s got this whole issue of a dead intern on his hands.”
