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]

It is indeed a sad day in America when a “heterosexual” man can’t hang out all the time with his many gay friends at a local gay bar acting “very feminine” without somehow getting accused of gayness. And yet that is precisely the position gay Florida governor Charlie Crist confronts as one of the nation’s most rumor-dogged opponents of gay marriage. The owner of the Green Iguana bar in Tampa now says that back in the early 90s, when Crist had just begun his political career, the future governor frequented this very gay bar and felt right at home.

Who will fight for Fraud and Abuse? Who will stop the 100 Billion Immigrants from having “more rights than you”? Who basically put George Bush Junior in the White House (with a little help from the Supreme Court)? Ex-Congresswoman and Super Christian horse rider Katherine “Kitty” Harris, that’s who! And now the Draft Kitty movement has a website! This thing is serious, people. If she’s not indicted and put in prison like the rest of Abramoff/Wilkes crowd, January of 2009 could be the greatest month in Human History: the month Kitty Harris becomes our president.

Ok we knew HBO was doing this movie about the Florida recount. Boring!, we thought. We thought totally wrong. Because Laura Dern is playing Katherine Harris, in casting that is totally wrong but somehow brilliant. Wrong, because, well, it really should be Glenn Close (or Ellen Barkin??). But brilliant because Laura Dern’s trashy alternate personality in Inland Empire basically is a down-on-her-luck Kitty Harris and that is exactly how she should play it. David Lynch should also be directing instead of the Austin Powers dude (Harry Dean Stanton as James Baker! Bill Pullman as Bush and Balthazar Getty as Gore! And vice versa!) but we’ll take what little rays of sunshine we can get.
