Carl Hiaasen (Miami Herald): 'Flake factor' plagues Harris Senate campaign

To refloat her foundering Senate campaign, Rep. Katherine Harris says she's investing $10 million of her own dough.

The donation would be legal, unbundled and untainted -- a bold experiment for the Longboat Key Republican.

Until recently, Harris wasn't particularly picky about where she got her money, or how suspicious it looked. One major booster recently pleaded guilty to paying more than $1 million in bribes to another GOP congressman, Randy ''Duke'' Cunningham of California.

Defense contractor Mitchell Wade admitted buying off Cunningham, and also funneling thousands of dollars illegally to Harris. Harris says she didn't have a clue that the donations were dirty.

Meaning she's either a dunce, or she's lying.

(DD: These options are not mutually exclusive Carl! She is both.)
