I had to laugh at this one.
WSJ's Law Blog is reporting that lovable Justice-name-mangler Joe Klock rushes to the defense of Katherine Harris in the new HBO biopic "Recount":
According to Joseph Klock, the Epstein Becker lawyer who represented Harris, then the Florida Secretary of State, before the U.S. Supreme Court in Bush v Gore, Harris (not a lawyer, sadly) continues to be unfairly portrayed in the media. In an email from Klock’s PR rep, Harris continues to be portrayed as “misplaced socialite and power monger.” Klock, according to the email, believes that if Harris “had been a man, she would never have been subjected to the ridicule she received as the cartoonish ‘air head’ with no credentials, substance or ability to think on her own.”For me the funniest part was that Klock has a PR rep. It's about time, Joe.

If it had been a man, he still would have been ridiculed but perhaps in another way.
SFL, isn't there a film with Bo Derek riding on a horse? Or am I thinking of another film and another actress?
She's a horse lover and her husband did a Playboy spread with her on a horse.
Close enough for me!
9:03, ah yes, I remember.
Was there ever a definition for 'misplaced socialite?'
I just finished playing catch up on the princess' blog. I nearly spit out my coffee after reading the letter sent to her neighborhood by the gnome-lovers.
SFL when will the time come for you and the Princess to admit there is something indeed going on between the two of you?
12:31,
The jury will be out until doomsday on that one.
12:31,
A gentleman never tells and neither does a lady.
BTW SFL, I hope you took the advice I left you.
I'd never seen a photo quite like that one of Harris, which leads me to say, "Kathy, all is forgiven."
Too late for Klock; the damage cannot be undone.
My favorite part is the way Joe's comments just make it worse for Katherine.
Exactly, 7:45, they wind up reinforcing and repeating impressions that make Harris seem worse than if he said nothing.
But did anybody seriously think that a Hollywood interpretation of the recount case would be fair to a Republican? When I lived in L.A., you couldn't mention being a Republican when you were among movie and TV biz' types. You could tell them almost any terrible thing about yourself, but not that.
