Well, she's as nutty as ever. When she's not playing a key role in stealing a presidential election, she's making good use of her newfound security clearance as a U.S. Representative.
Speaking Monday night in Venice at a rally in support of President Bush, Harris said the United States is winning the war against terrorism.
"His remarkable leadership… has made our country safe," Harris told an overflow crowd of more than 600 at the Holiday Inn. The event was sponsored by the Republican Club of South Sarasota County.
In an interview after the speech, Harris said she learned from classified information about the 100 potential attacks that have been thwarted since 9/11.
"Actually, it's been more than 100," she said. "It's classified… obviously not classified to me… but things I can't go into detail about."
Harris, a first-term Republican congresswoman from Longboat Key, said terrorism remains the No. 1 challenge facing the nation.
"And the first line of defense is you," she told the audience.
Harris told the audience that while she was in the Midwest recently, the mayor of Carmel, Ind., recounted how a man of Middle Eastern heritage had been arrested. She said hundreds of pounds of explosives were found in his home.
"He had plans to blow up the area's entire power grid," she said.
Pressed after the speech for details about the arrest, Harris said it had not been made public and she asked a reporter not to name the city she mentioned to the audience.
"I probably said too much," Harris said.
Naturally, everyone else in the world has no frickin' idea what she's on about.
During a speech to 600 people Monday in Venice, Harris either shared a closely held secret or passed along secondhand information as fact.
A staff member of the U.S. House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, which oversees the nation's intelligence operations, said he had heard of no such plot, and Indiana officials in the county where the power grid is located were at a loss to explain where the information originated.

Carmel Mayor James Brainard and a spokesman for Indiana Gov. Joe Kernan said they had no knowledge of such a plot. Brainard said he had never spoken to Harris.
So here are the choices: She's either a) Completely making this up, or b) Revealing classified information.
My money is firmly on A, but who knows. Either way, she's proving once again that she's a real winner.
