Katherine Harris wasted our money on what?

**Ninong** · 11-16-2005, 06:52 PM

OK, this only applies if you live in Florida but it's still funny as hell even if you don't live in Florida.

Here are the clues:

The product is liquid. It is claimed to have ‘improved fractal design,' ‘infinite levels of order,' and ‘high energy and low entropy.'

Sounds like one of those magic 'vital' potions we're supposed to waste our money on for our reef tanks, doesn't it?

Close but no cigar.

It's holy water. Kabbala water. Once it is "blessed," its molecular structure changes and it is imbued with supernatural healing powers.

Ms. Harris paid a rabbi and a cardiologist (Dr. Frist?) to work with the state of Florida using Kabbala water to cure citrus canker on orange trees.

Wayne Dixon, the head of Florida's Bureau of Entomology, Nematology and Plant Pathology, reported that the "product is a hoax and not based on any credible known science."

P.S. -- Remind me again what she's running for now? Oh, right, the U.S. Senate! Maybe she should concentrate on holding onto her House seat.

I can see it now, all sorts of snake oils coming our of woodwork....

I just about fell of the chair when I read that article. I suppose the money is like water in Florida, easily sip through ones fingers.

Supernatural healing powers (tm) ?!?!

Uh-Oh...

Kansas pharmacutical companies are going to sue over patent infringements...

LMAO!!!

How SILLY is that??? She and her new surgically enhanced face need to have a reality check, huh?

Perhaps some enterprising politico will choose to use that little escapade in a forthcoming campaign add???

As a Floridian, I'm *OUTRAGED*! Everyone knows only HOLY WATER works for citrus canker and exorcisms!

...and the chain saw treatment for citrus canker doesn't seem to be working either, by the way.

To be fair, she did deliver to Bush&Dick in 2000. ^-^
