Kitty Harris Enraged Over ‘Made Up Dialogue’ In Fictional Film

For those of you who are rich and elitist and can afford HBO, you may have seen the much-hyped film Recount over Memorial Day weekend, which chronicled Al Gore’s efforts to hijack the country during the 2000 election in disenfranchised Florida. The movie was terrible and hilarious, although Laura Dern’s portrayal of then-Florida Secretary of State Katherine “Kitty” Harris deserves at least 19 Oscars and maybe even a Golden Globe. Anyway, Kitty went on Fox News last night to complain about the writers of the film “making up dialogue,” a serious cinematic violation of ethics. Kitty’s attorney appeared by her side on the show to make sure she didn’t screw up, such is her wont. [YouTube, St. Petersburg Times]

    mccain/kitty 08!!!!!

    Sure…rich…elitist. Like my brother always told me, being at top is lonely, but it’s so nice to look down on everyone else.

  3. Serolf Divad says at 12:28 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    Given that Kitty is already a caricature of a caricature…

  4. Naked Bunny with a Whip says at 12:28 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    Wait, Katherine Harris is a real person? And…and Floria is a real state? WTF?!

  5. GIJoeIce says at 12:30 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    Seven Whore Diamonds.

  6. ManchuCandidate says at 12:31 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    But did HBO get the boobs right? Kitty?

  7. AngryBlakGuy says at 12:34 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    …is there anyway we can get her to play Cindi McCain in the WALNUTS! movie? That would be fukkin EPIC!!!

  8. freakishlystrong says at 12:36 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    Sean Hannity would so do her if she let him.

  9. queeraselvis v 2.0 says at 12:37 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    Sean Hannity looks mighty fetching in that black and white outfit, though the hair is a bit too big and the pearls are a tad much.

  10. Black Cat says at 12:38 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    Are you telling me those writers that went on strike make things up? I thought they just followed people around writing down their conversations to put into scripts. It’s a good news we still have Fox News to tell us the truth.

  11. Botswana Meat Commission FC says at 12:41 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    My only problem is that in their quest for realism, they made Laura Dern less milf-tastic. boo.

  12. Baseproduct says at 12:42 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    When asked about the possibility of a lawsuit, Harris responded, “Oh yes. I’m going to put everything on the line. Everything. Not just my career and my future but my father’s name. It’s going to take everything I have and I’m going to put in this legal action.”

  13. NoWireHangers says at 12:46 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    Just give her some pink sugar and she’ll settle down.

  14. Shadowfax says at 12:46 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    Her voice says “outraged.” But her boobies say “we’re real and we’re fantastic.”

  15. AudicityofHope says at 12:46 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    Kitty doesn’t understand the concept of movies because she lives in the same alternate universe as Hillary Clinton.

  16. Dramatist says at 12:46 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    I am obsessed with Laura Dern in Recount. I have not wanted to fuck someone wearing so much makeup since that time Jake Gyllenhaal tripped and fell face-first into that Sephora free samples counter.

  17. ForTheTurnstiles says at 12:49 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    Didn’t these tribal people also freak out over the pedophile topoi in The Kite Runner? Christ, these Talibans is touchy!

  18. loudmouthredhead says at 12:50 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    Notice the attorney staring at her as she spoke. At one point his arm moves over his lap, meaning: 1. He’s aroused at watching has-been party whores whine about inaccuracies in portraying the clown mask she used to wear, or 2. He has his finger on a button that would shock her is she blurted out something silly, like how she screwed up her job and lied about it.

    I hope it’s the second one…

  19. freakishlystrong says at 12:51 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    Can we embed? If so, Larua Dern rocked this performance!

  20. Dramatist says at 12:52 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    Kitty is just doing what Queen Esther would do, only instead of saving the nice Jewish people, she’s entertaining us.

  21. essron says at 12:53 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    Kitty must have realized Dern didn’t put on quite ENOUGH of the crazy. In case you missed it: http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalpunch/2008/05/the-portrayal-o.html

  22. NoWireHangers says at 12:53 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    Dramatist: She was the best thing about that movie. She was a lipstick smacking, pink sugar demanding, fake eyelash batting drag queen and I loved every minute of her screen time.

  23. ForTheTurnstiles says at 12:55 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    Baseproduct: Just like lovely Queen Esther. “If I perish, I perish…”

  24. metropolitan says at 12:55 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    damn, a new kitty harris youtube video? i can’t wait to get home and turn out the lights…

  25. metropolitan says at 12:56 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    ManchuCandidate:
    yeah, the only problem is the real kitty harris didn’t get the perky big boobs until a good 4 years AFTER the recount.

  26. floraway says at 12:56 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    Wait, they didn’t use the transcripts of her conversations provided by the NSA, but made up dialogue instead? For shame…

  27. freakishlystrong says at 12:59 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    Guess not…

  28. Dramatist says at 1:00 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    NoWireHangers: I mean, Dern definitely proved that like Cher and Babs before her, Kitty is ripe for female-impersonation. I can’t wait for Pride here in New York when at least two drag queens come down the street on horseback with terrifying kabuki smiles rocking Mom Jeans demanding “PINK SUGAR.”

  29. Whore Diamond in the Rough says at 1:07 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    Baseproduct: 10 million dollars?

  30. Enraged over donunts…enraged over people loving people…enraged over ‘peasers…enraged over Scotty boy…will the rage never end?

    Did Streisand not sing of this?

    Sheeple,
    Sheeple who need sheeple
    Are the yuckiest sheeple in the world…

         :grin:

  31. Whore Diamond in the Rough says at 1:09 pm, June 3rd, 2008
  32. StrangelyBrown says at 1:10 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    Only the most sane and stable people appear on Fox News with their lawyers watching them like hawks.

    Also, was she paging through her book upside-down at the beginning? Because that would confirm a lot of things.

  33. queeraselvis v 2.0 says at 1:13 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    ForTheTurnstiles: It’s a pity she didn’t channel another famous Esther.

    queeraselvis v 2.0: Drat.

  35. EnBuenOra says at 1:18 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    I din’t know Florida had ever gained the right to vote. I’m not sure I would agree with that.

  36. NoWireHangers says at 1:29 pm, June 3rd, 2008
  37. Not_So_Much says at 1:29 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    Oh, Kittenz! I know you miss your man-crush Sean. But even with your ginormous, gravity-defying, fake boobies, there’s no evidence that he likes, you know, girls…

  38. HerExcellency says at 1:37 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    I discovered something awful while watching Recount. It appears Kitty Harris and I use the same blush. I was appropriately horrified and threw it out immediately.

  39. Lionel Hutz Esq. says at 1:47 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    Actually, Kitty’s main problem with the film was that Laura Dern isn’t stacked enough.

    Or crazy enough.

    But mostly not stacked enough.

  40. Advocatus_Diaboli says at 1:47 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    Kitty’s just so happy to be back in the limelight again. Maybe this will inspire her to run another hopeless campaign.

    Please?

  41. WernerHerzogsBear says at 1:49 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    Thank God she’s back! I love the pained look in her lawyer’s eyes that says, “I’m going to need five Scotches in about a minute.” She’s living proof that there’s crazy, and then there’s Southern crazy.

  42. shortsshortsshorts says at 1:51 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    GAWD Fox news and their liberal agenda. Damn you liberal media!

  43. bitchincamaro says at 2:00 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    AngryBlakGuy:

    Is there any way we can get Kitty
    to play WITH Cindi in their own movie?
    Currently taking suggestions for a
    working title, people.

  44. nowukkers says at 2:15 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    I, for one, was seriously disappointed by Kitty’s coyish hiding of her totally pneumatic sweater puppies in the vid. Coupled with the fact that her voice could curdle cream at 20 paces, I gave this a thumbs down.

  45. JohnnyMac says at 2:22 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    bitchincamaro: How about something like “Cougar Force” and they can hunt terrorists by day and party all night. I originally was thinking “Sex and the Titties,” but I’m sure that title has been used more than Kitty’s funbags by now.

  46. MathewBrooks says at 2:53 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    Sorry but as one of teh gays i feel it is my duty to point out that this film will not be eligible for Oscars as it originally aired on teh teevee. So it might garner a few Emmys but those are about as worthless as Grammys. Oh who am I kidding, nothing is as worthless as a Grammy.

  47. queeraselvis v 2.0 says at 3:43 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    MathewBrooks: nothing is as worthless as a Grammy. Amen and praise Jeebus. And nothing spells career killer worse than a “Best New Artist” Grammy.
