In a lengthy interview with Florida Baptist Witness, struggling U.S. Senate candidate Katherine Harris asserts, among other things, that the separation of church and state is a fallacy.

"We have to have the faithful in government and over time," the Witness quotes Harris as saying, "that lie we have been told, the separation of church and state, people have internalized, thinking that they needed to avoid politics and that is so wrong because God is the one who chooses our rulers."

Heh. When Harris declared her Senate run, she actually credibly positioned herself as a moderate. Now that she's running the most embarassing Senate race since Alan Keyes, she's not only turned right, she's turned stupid.

I don't blame her. Stupid is worth an extra 5% in Florida.
