Katherine Harris says she was unfairly mocked during the 2000 Florida recount because newspapers "colorized" photos of her to distort her makeup. Asked to identify specific photos, Harris, who is running for Senate next year, explained that she hasn't worn blue eye shadow since she was in the Girl Scouts. Talk Left offers evidence to the contrary, while Wonkette takes a closer look at the extreme makeover Harris has undergone since 2000.A few memorable Katherine Harris jokes from the archives:
"They had trucks in Florida bringing the ballots to Tallahassee. In fact, it's the same trucks they used to bring the makeup to Florida Secretary of State Katherine Harris." —Jay Leno
"It's cold out. It's even cold in Florida. So cold today that Katherine Harris put on a third layer of makeup." —Jay Leno
"Katherine Harris is in the middle of her 15 minutes of fame. Here's stage one of the 15 minutes of fame: Public ridicule. Stage two: The beauty makeover. Stage three: Posing nude for Playboy. Stage four: Becoming Mrs. Larry King." —David Letterman
Harris even poked a little self-deprecatory fun at herself back in 2000, when, upon being recognized shopping at Target, she quipped, "I only have on one layer of makeup. I'm incognito."
