What if Katherine Harris Were Running for Senate?

OK, since the horrible video I blogged earlier has apparently taken down all of YouTube, here’s an alternate horrible video hosted elsewhere. This one isn’t quite as horrible, but it’s pretty darn bad: The Rejected Katherine Harris Campaign Video!.

Not for the weak, or even the strong (I didn’t make it to the end, as my flesh started to creep out of the room).
