In her recent appearance on Fox's Hannity & Colmes - designed to convince people she's got her campaign back on track - Rep. Katherine Harris (R-FL) had the following exchange with host Sean Colmes about her controversial relationship with corrupt defense contractor Mitchell Wade, who has pled guilty to bribing a Congressman and tax evasion:
COLMES: Did Mitchell offer to hold a fundraiser for you? And did you ask for $10 million that would have gone to benefit his company?
HARRIS: I asked for an appropriation for an authorized naval program in Sarasota, Florida, which would bring a lot of new jobs. So, clearly -- and, in the future, I had hoped that he would host one for me.
COLMES: So there was a quid pro quo?
HARRIS: There was no quid pro quo, ever.
Sure, that makes sense.
