A news magazine's gossip column spotted former Rep. Katherine Harris handing out business cards at President Bush's State of the Union address.

"And you thought Katherine Harris lost," Paul Bedard's Washington Whispers in US News & World Report notes, referring to the former Florida Secretary of State's failure to win a seat in the US Senate last November.

"See, as a former representative, she keeps floor rights and she used them to the hilt Tuesday night before President Bush's State of the Union address," Bedard writes. "Our chief photodog, Charlie Archambault, caught her mingling on the Republican side and even handing out business cards."

"But don't count her out: We've met her a couple of times, and she always seems on her game and mulling her future ventures," Bedard adds.

A blog at the Palm Beach Post also reported on Harris' hand-outs.

"No word on what the cards said," Larry Lippman writes. "Harris could not be reached."

Lippman notes that Harris "is not allowed to lobby members," even though she still retains "privileges to be on the House floor."

"Prior to the election, Harris promised she’d write a book naming names of those she thinks betrayed her in the Senate race," Lippman adds.
