The Katherine Harris Question

The White House press corp asked deputy press secretary Dana Perino about Katherine Harris. You may remember (or not care) that there was a dust up about Harris not attending the President Bush events in Florida.

Q:" Katherine Harris says that she's going to be at the GOP's meeting at 4 p.m., at the Ritz Carlton. Does the President plan to meet with her as the Republican nominee for the Senate race?"

MS. PERINO: "I don't know if there is any specific separate meeting, but I believe she is going to be there as part of the event."

Q: "Does he have any plans to raise money for her?"

MS. PERINO: "I don't know of anything that's scheduled."

Short answer: She is was only invited for appearance sake. Please stop asking us this. It's embarrassing. We already know she's going to lose. You don't have to rub this in our face. If you like her so much, why don't you invite her to your next party.
