In her recent appearance [1] on Fox's Hannity & Colmes - designed to convince people she's got her campaign back on track - Rep. Katherine Harris (R-FL) [2] 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.
