WASHINGTON — As President Bush embarks on a new effort to shore up public support for the war in Iraq, an uncle of the chief executive is collecting $2.7 million in cash and stock from the recent sale of a company that profited from the war.

A report filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission shows that William H.T. Bush collected a little less than $1.9 million in cash plus stock valued at more than $800,000 as a result of the sale of Engineered Support Systems Inc. to DRS Technologies of New Jersey.

Harris will "not own anything" after Senate race

MIAMI — Rep. Katherine Harris said she will “not own anything” after spending $10 million of her personal inheritance to fund her U.S. Senate campaign.

Harris announced last week that she planned to spend money she inherited after her father’s death in January on her campaign. She talked about that decision on ABC News’ “Nightline” program Tuesday night.

“My husband has real estate but I will not own anything,” Harris said. “I am willing to put everything on the line. I am willing to take this widow’s mite, this pearl of great price and put everything on the line.” ....

NOW!

:wtf:

$10 million is a "mite" to this...this.... OMG. You're right. Words just fucking fail. (Swear words, on the other hand, are becoming my only vocabulary.)

understand God told her not to drop out. He wants her to run.

"Harris, who told a national television audience Wednesday that she would be spending $10 million to win Florida's U.S. Senate race, said she never would have entered politics if she did not believe that God wanted her to make public service part of her life."

God told me that while he did speak with Harris, she is "totally twisting My words." What he said was that she should be doing the public a favor by doing time.

Meanwhile, God admits, he has been trying to give George W. Bush "subtle hints" by mailing him packets of RoldGold pretzels, but Bush keeps thanking him for the "special gifts from my pal" and adding them to his giant pretzel art project, wherein he makes fun shapes by gluing the pretzels onto the walls of the Oval Office.

Since the old girl will certainly write it off her taxes as well.
