"We used to call her 'The Hurricane' because she would spin completely out of control over the smallest things... I have never in my life worked for somebody like her — ever — and hopefully I'll never have to again... There was a great deal of fear and loathing."
"I dreaded having to talk to her on a daily basis."
--Jim Dornan, Katherine Harris' first campaign manager (he quit last fall)
The Palm Beach Post:
In interviews with The Palm Beach Post during the past three weeks, six … former aides, three of whom did not want to be identified, have described Harris as a temperamental boss who routinely yelled at staffers, belittled their intelligence, criticized their efforts, micromanaged every aspect of her campaign, and was ungrateful to those working for her. . .
Aides also painted a picture of Harris as someone who was obsessive about her appearance. Harris, 49, frequently wore tight-fitting outfits, low-cut tops or short skirts that several aides said they considered inappropriate for a middle-aged Senate candidate.
At least one aide went shopping with Harris to help her find more suitable clothing, but there was little change in her apparel. Even when the press noted her sexy outfits, such as when she wore a form-fitting hot pink shirt while riding a horse at the Arcadia rodeo, Harris found it amusing, the aides said.
"She would rather have that publicity than be ignored," Miller said.
Harris, whose heavy makeup was often the butt of jokes during the 2000 election recount, "would talk about makeup... in a weird, creepy, obsessive way," said a former aide.
Too bad Bill Frist is already married -- they'd make a lovely portrait of repulsive vanity.
