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]

kitty enraged over makeup?

i’m enraged we don’t get a good look at those billowy sweater puppies during the film. that’s the real outrage here.

mccain/kitty 08!!!!!

Edward Bulwer-Lytton June 3, 2008 at 12:27 pm

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.

Serolf Divad June 3, 2008 at 12:28 pm

Given that Kitty is already a caricature of a caricature…

Naked Bunny with a Whip June 3, 2008 at 12:28 pm

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

But did HBO get the boobs right? Kitty?

AngryBlakGuy June 3, 2008 at 12:34 pm

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

freakishlystrong June 3, 2008 at 12:36 pm

Sean Hannity would so do her if she let him.

queeraselvis v 2.0 June 3, 2008 at 12:37 pm

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.

Black Cat June 3, 2008 at 12:38 pm

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.

Botswana Meat Commission FC June 3, 2008 at 12:41 pm

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

Baseproduct June 3, 2008 at 12:42 pm

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.”

NoWireHangers June 3, 2008 at 12:46 pm

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

Shadowfax June 3, 2008 at 12:46 pm

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

AudicityofHope June 3, 2008 at 12:46 pm

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

Dramatist June 3, 2008 at 12:46 pm

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.

ForTheTurnstiles June 3, 2008 at 12:49 pm

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

loudmouthredhead June 3, 2008 at 12:50 pm

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…

freakishlystrong June 3, 2008 at 12:51 pm

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

Dramatist June 3, 2008 at 12:52 pm

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

essron June 3, 2008 at 12:53 pm

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

NoWireHangers June 3, 2008 at 12:53 pm

[re=3979]Dramatist[/re]: 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.

ForTheTurnstiles June 3, 2008 at 12:55 pm

[re=3973]Baseproduct[/re]: Just like lovely Queen Esther. “If I perish, I perish…”

metropolitan June 3, 2008 at 12:55 pm

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

metropolitan June 3, 2008 at 12:56 pm

[re=3961]ManchuCandidate[/re]:
yeah, the only problem is the real kitty harris didn’t get the perky big boobs until a good 4 years AFTER the recount.

floraway June 3, 2008 at 12:56 pm

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

freakishlystrong June 3, 2008 at 12:59 pm

Guess not…

Dramatist June 3, 2008 at 1:00 pm

[re=3996]NoWireHangers[/re]: 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.”

Whore Diamond in the Rough June 3, 2008 at 1:07 pm

Q June 3, 2008 at 1:07 pm

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…

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.

queeraselvis v 2.0 June 3, 2008 at 1:13 pm

[re=3999]ForTheTurnstiles[/re]: It’s a pity she didn’t channel another famous Esther.

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

NoWireHangers June 3, 2008 at 1:29 pm

[re=4032]Whore Diamond in the Rough[/re]: Gah!

Not_So_Much June 3, 2008 at 1:29 pm

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…

HerExcellency June 3, 2008 at 1:37 pm

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.

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

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

Or crazy enough.

But mostly not stacked enough.

Advocatus_Diaboli June 3, 2008 at 1:47 pm

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

Please?

WernerHerzogsBear June 3, 2008 at 1:49 pm

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.

shortsshortsshorts June 3, 2008 at 1:51 pm

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

[re=3963]AngryBlakGuy[/re]:

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

nowukkers June 3, 2008 at 2:15 pm

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.

JohnnyMac June 3, 2008 at 2:22 pm

[re=4152]bitchincamaro[/re]: 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.

MathewBrooks June 3, 2008 at 2:53 pm

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.

queeraselvis v 2.0 June 3, 2008 at 3:43 pm

[re=4373]MathewBrooks[/re]: nothing is as worthless as a Grammy. Amen and praise Jeebus. And nothing spells career killer worse than a “Best New Artist” Grammy.
