Laura Dern as Katherine Harris?
Can it be? Variety reports that Laura Dern will don heavy make up and big hair to portray the former Florida Secretary of State in an HBO movie about the 2000 Florida recount debacle. Harris should be flattered by the choice. Gore campaign lawyer David Boies didn't fare so well. He'll be played by Ed Begley Jr., but HBO did show some inside-the-beltway savvy in casting hunky Denis Leary as the Democrats' little known get-out-the-vote genius Michael Whouley. The film is scheduled to air smack in the middle of the presidential campaign next fall.

Laura Dern as Katy Harris is FANTASTIC CASTING. She's a brilliant comedic actress (Citizen Ruth) and a libral democrat. PERFECT!!

Oh my--that's wonderful casting. It would have to be either the great Laura Dern or Parker Posey, wouldn't it?
falker32--isn't Citizen Ruth the biggest hoot? One of my favorite films of the last 20 years.
