Katherine Harris

In the era of YouTube, cell phone cameras and the blogosphere, politicians' slipups are very public fodder in no time flat. With this year's elections still reverberating, we offer a rogue's gallery of often indelible images.

No 10: Rep. Katherine Harris (R-Fla.) plays Mrs. Robinson with a college reporter.

The soon-to-be-former congresswoman made a name for herself as Florida's secretary of state during the controversial 2000 presidential election. Characterized by outlandish statements about religion, abrupt staff shakeups, tight-fitting shirts and questionable colors of eyeshadow, Harris was considered a longshot indeed in her (unsuccessful) bid to unseat Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson this year. But she never lost her campaign trail spirit--or her charm, as was evident when photographer Stephen Elliott snapped some photos of the Senate hopeful conversing intimately with a college newspaper reporter this past April.

According to political blog Wonkette, Elliott recounted to Majority Report Radio that Harris "sat (the reporter) down, sat next to him, and her foot was brushing against his foot, her knee was half-an-inch away, she leaned in real close and started calling him 'honey.'"

Coo, coo, ca-choo, Katherine Harris.
