Awwww. Spunk and Moxie don't like the way they are portrayed in HBO's "Recount"
:rofl:

And while she hasn't seen the movie, Harris took exception with her portrayal as it was described to her. Actress Laura Dern largely portrays her as ditzy and self-centered. In one scene, former Secretary of State James Baker watches Harris' first news conference after the election and says: "This woman is hopeless. We're going to need some help on this."

That's when Stipanovich is called to advise her. The film shows Stipanovich and then-Division of Elections Director Clay Roberts telling Harris what she should do. Harris said Stipanovich was never with her when she and her legal team made final decisions, but only helped her write some press statements.

"For the last seven and one-half years, I have done all I can to explain my decisions, which were fair and just while following the letter of the law," Harris wrote in an e-mail. "While it is not pleasant being lied about, mocked, or having this film's comic book caricature presented as who I am, I am at peace _ knowing before my God, my friends, and my family that I acted with honor and integrity."

1. Can Laura Dern ride a horse, or will there be a body or stunt double?

2. Note to KH it is not pleasant being disenfranchised caged stripped of our voting rights and having
our elections stolen.

3. Aww, Katherine not happy?
Sounds like the film dramatizes how out of her league she was when it came to being the kind of conniving, duplicitous, Machiavellian everyone else on the Republican team needed her to be. Her complaint is that while she met with Stipanovich, and that Stipanovich "helped" her write "some" press statements, he wasn't actually in the room when "her legal team" made "final" decisions.

Color me skeptical as to whether Harris has anything to beef about. Sounds like she's still a piece of work, though.

5. Let me get this straight -
Harris didn't see it herself, but she's relying on what she was told.

Cripes, she's even dumber than I thought. No, wait. That's about how dumb I thought she was.

No matter how she's portrayed, she's getting a walk, because she should have ended up burning at a stake. With another through the place where her heart is supposed to be.

8. If Harris wasn't wealthy and if she didn't have influential friends she'd be institutionalized.






"Praise chayssus for the Bush family."


She's nuttier than a fruitcake.
