Bush v. Gore: Round 2
May 18, 2008
Did George W. Bush steal the 2000 presidential election? The answer almost certainly depends on your political orientation. But there’s no question that someone does steal “Recount,” the HBO film that looks back on those tense days when the country’s future rested on the weight of a tiny scrap of paper called a chad. (The plural form of which is, as the film comically points out, chad.)
The battle may have been between Al Gore and Bush and their armies of lawyers, but in cinematic terms, the person who walks off with the whole thing is Laura Dern, who plays Katherine Harris with abandon and vigor. Below I have attached the trailer for “Recount” (which looks like its going to be very good) along with a little highlight reel of sorts chronicling Katherine Harris’ behavior during interviews, press conferences, et cetera. I can honestly say that I never knew just how bat sh*t crazy this woman was, I mean I have read a ton about it, and heard the stories, but good god, this video (her highlight reel per se) absolutely floored me.

Real footage of Katherine Harris. What a lunatic:
