‘Lisa the Loser’? No, Murkowski Wants to Be Known as ‘Lisa the Laughingstock’

The great thing about a write-in campaign is, Alaska’s voters will get to supply the punchline. Murkowski is not merely out of touch with the voters; she obviously has begun to lose touch with reality. Begging your K Street lobbyist pals to help you out? Yeah. That’s gonna be real popular with folks in Alaska, I bet.  […]

Dear God, Please, No!

Lisa Murkowski is as consumed with pathological narcissism as her worst enemies said? She’s listening to demented Palin-haters like Andrew Halcro and John Bitney? Ace is mocking the rumor/not-a-rumor, but trying to run as a write-in when your name is “Murkowski” is an epic case of mind-boggling stupid: U.S. Sen.

I’d Like to Dedicate This Song . . .

. . . to Kristin Murray, Alan Moore and David Keegan: What can I do To get on the right track? Wish they’d take some of these Knives out of my back. Let me say a few word about The Backstabbers — not just those faithless former servants who are now disparaging Christine O’Donnell, but […]
