Karma.

What goes around, comes around. Eventually. Or finally, depending on the circumstance.

Bad or good, karma will catch up with a person in the end.

Karma has swung full circle and finally bit Florida Congresswoman Katherine Harris-R in the...HER...sanctimonious rear end.

Certify a stolen election? Bad karma. Sidle up to Tom DeLay...get kissy, kissy, huggy, huggy with "The Hammer" and get caught with her well groomed, high maintenance hands in the ARMPAC cookie jar to the tune of $20,000 worth of chocolate chips..then initially refuse to give up those funds? Bad karma. Have dinner with the devil, MZM defense contractor Mitchell Wade, only to feign indignant outrage and profess no knowledge of receiving $32,000 in illegal campaign contributions?

Bob Ney? Randy "Duke" Cunningham? Nine thousand dollars worth of additional questionable funds. Mercy me. How did those cookies get in my cookie jar?

Ties to Jack Abramoff?

Bad, bad freakin' karma.

Adding insult to injury, her own party, politically strong-armed Harris, with no success. The once Republican Coppertone Girl, the super recognizable face of the 2000 Presidential election fiasco, has become.....Cruella de Vil.

And Cruella is running-without support of the GOP and former boss, Jebbie Bush-against Florida top dog-the numero uno pedigreed Dalmation....incumbent Senator Bill Nelson.

Respected. Home grown. Astronaut. Squeaky clean. Bill Nelson.

The most recent Quinnipiac University poll reflected Nelson leading the Senate race 59% to Harris' 26%. Yet Harris continues to fuel her campaign with her own multi-millions, painting herself as vilified, demonized, and victimized by her own party.

What's with Harris? "Woman, hear me roar!"? Hooked on power? Playing with a full deck? Or simply, too many two martini lunches?

Nah. She's in the bubble.

Surrounded by yes-men, she is enveloped in an impervious glycerin bubble. Yet, the Harris bubble has burst...and burst...and burst. Pop! High profile campaign handlers jump ship. Pop! Questions, questions, questions about that pesky Wade-backed Navy project thing. Pop! The Federal Election Commission questions $60,000 in excess campaign donations. Pop! Pop! Pop!

How goes that old nursery rhyme?

No time to plead and pine. No time to wheedle. Kiss me quick and then I'm gone.

Pop goes the Weasel.
