MEDIA GANG OUT TO SMEAR HARRIS
REPORTERS at the New York Times, the Washington Post, Newsweek
and CNN are scrambling frantically to find something - anything -
they can use against Florida Secretary of State Katherine Harris,
who certified the state's voting tally in favor of George W.
Bush. But they are coming up empty.
Harris, who has been attacked over her lipstick and make-up, was
said to be prepared for what she views as Democratic dirty tricks
aimed at demonizing her.
The Al Gore camp denies it is behind the bogus rumors about
Harris. "We have one goal, one focus, one objective - simply to
count every single vote in Florida," said Gore spokesman Chris
Lehane.
Harris' lawyer, Joe Klock, told PAGE SIX: "This is a dedicated,
hard-working elected official who is doing her job well." Klock,
who will defend Harris this afternoon on the Court TV special
hosted by Ed Hayes and Rikki Klieman, said, "These despicable
lies say more about her enemies than [they say about] her."
An investigative reporter for a news weekly said, "These rumors,
fueled by interested partisans, have been flying for weeks. I'd
be derelict in my duty if I didn't look into them, but there is
nothing there."
Harris, 43, has been happily married since 1996 to wealthy
Swedish-born businessman Anders Ebbeson, 55.
"They did the same thing to Linda Tripp," said Lucianne Goldberg,
publisher of lucianne.com. "If you can't find anything on a
woman, make fun of the way she looks. If that doesn't stick,
start a phony sex rumor because it's like fog.
"You can't make it go away. You can't prove a negative. They are
ganging up on her even though there isn't one bit of evidence."
The media "investigations" of Harris have conservative women up
in arms.
Laura Ingraham, the comely author of "The Hillary Trap: Looking
for Power in all the Wrong Places" (Hyperion), said, "Now let me
get this straight, the left-leaning deep thinkers in the media
are now in favor of the politics of personal destruction?
"They, just like sensitive Al, only applaud a certain type of
girl power - the kind exercised by women who agree with them.
Katherine Harris is an attractive, rich, and gutsy Republican who
isn't impressed by the sanctimonious jabs of the media - so, of
course, the press is out to get her."
