Michael Crowley at TNR's "The Plank" notes a fun little nugget at the end of this WaPo story about Katherine Harris, the somewhat challenged Republican Senatorial candidate in Florida who really knows how to milk a photo op. In addition to promising a juicy tell-all book, no doubt filled with the kind of salacious details Senator wannabes usually try to keep unpublished (and for which the KH crushers at Wonkette are apoplectic with excitement), she also appears to know her scripture, identify strongly with ages-old persecution and maybe have a Queen complex. To wit:
Later in the evening, while talking about her love for Queen Esther, she runs to the passenger seat of her SUV and seizes a Bible."I'll give you one verse," she says. "On the day that the enemies of the Jews had hoped to overpower them, the opposite occurred, in that the Jews themselves overpowered those who hated them."
What does that have to do with this race?
"November 7th," she replies.
Bring it, girlfriend! Crowley also notes Harris' comment that "We're all sort of Jewish wannabes," which makes sense as Jews are noted equestrians.
