Elections, literature -- What's the difference? We'll steal whatever we want

The A.P. reports on Katherine Harris's continued adventures in pilfering.

Security guards and Harris' staff confiscated literature handed out by opponents that included the drug plan's details and a chart of Harris' voting record since she began her term in January....

Connie M. McKee, a Harris staffer, said Congressional ethics rules made it illegal for people to distribute political information during a town hall meeting.

"All of the material is still here, and they can pick it up when they leave," McKee said. "They just can't take it into the hall. The ethics laws do not allow us to let them take it in. We have to be very, very careful that there are no laws broken."

But Harris distributed her literature to attendees. One flyer detailed how Bush's economic plans are restoring confidence and creating growth through fiscal discipline. Another highlighted the many benefits of Medicare reforms passed in June.

Hmm.... the people attending aren't members of Congress, yet they're subject to Congressional ethics rules? A town hall meeting where freedom of speech is prohibited. "Jeb" Bush's Florida isn't a swamp, it's a sewer.
