‘Levi Johnston’s Blues’

Posted on Comments

Weigel has the lyrics and says, “Johnston keeps getting the fame clock set back to 14:59, doesn’t he?”

Levi is the world’s most infamous deadbeat dad. He never bought even a single box of Pampers for that baby, and has generally behaved like a buffoon. The only way Levi Johnston will ever get into show business is with a red nose and big floppy shoes.

In other news, it appears that Palin Derangement Syndrome has struck another Alaska public official, as Alaska Dispatch reports:

We had a surprise visitor to our office on Tuesday: Investigator John F. Bilyeu of the state Alcoholic Beverage Control Board. Seems there’s some concern circulating over Bristol Palin’s much-publicized visit to Rum Runners in Anchorage last week.
The problem? Rum Runners is a bar. Bristol’s 19. Alaska’s drinking age is 21. . . .
Believe us, if we had footage of Bristol Palin hanging out in a bar, we would have put it on our website and you’d be free to link and embed to your heart’s content. . . .
Rum Runners does have a “restaurant designation,” which means it’s not just a straight up-and-down bar. . . . [T]he law allows as how Bristol could have been on the premises “for the purpose of dining only” as long as Rum Runners is considered a “bona fide restaurant” by the ABC Board.

Which is to say that Jeanne Devon, Jesse Griffin, Shannyn Moore and the rest of that pack of Alaska anti-Palin jackals are once again on a wild goose chase for that “smoking gun” scandal they’ve been promising the liberal media for the past two years.

Four words:  Get a life, losers.

Michele Bachmann Endorses Joe Miller

by Smitty (h/t Libertarian Republican)


This blog hopes that by 2014 Minnesota has found a suitable replacement for Michele Bachman, so that she can do her Nancy Sinatra impression using Al Franken as a mat.
Wouldn’t that be the campaign ad of justice? Michele in boots working out to Nancy, standing on a life size photo of Franken? Maybe just walking toward it would be in better taste. . .

The Great RINO Rip-Off: Murkowski Uses GOP Money to Hire Democrat Staffers

Posted on Comments

Many who have criticized the stance of Dan Riehl, Marc Levin and myself against Mike Castle in Delaware have accused us of being “purists” or striking what they call a “True Conservative” posture. We are, our critics imply, attempting to position ourselves as Commissars of Conservative Correctness and boss other people around.

Messrs. Riehl and Levin can (and do) speak for themselves, but let me clarify: I enthusiastically supported Scott Brown in Massachusetts, knowing full well from the outset that he was not a 100% conservative hard-liner. Brown promised to be the “51st vote” against ObamaCare — a promise he kept — and his stunning upset in January inspired renewed confidence among conservatives everywhere. Some of Brown’s “compromise” votes have been deeply disappointing, but I nevertheless understand that Massachusetts is not Mississippi or Montana, and sometimes you do the best you can in a difficult political environment.

Furthermore, I have also enthusiastically supported Mattie Fein in CA-36, even though we aren’t entirely eye-to-eye on various social issues. A win for Mattie would be an important win, and whatever our policy disagreements, these are a minor consideration compared to all the good things Mattie believes in.

Other examples could be cited, but I think these two suffice to rebut any accusation of “True Conservative” posturing on my part.

Which brings us to Thomas Lamb’s latest report on Lisa Murkowski’s entirely pointless write-in Senate campaign in Alaska:

In my previous commentary, I stated Murkowski should return campaign donations that were from the Republican party.
And I know it is wishful thinking – so I don’t expect the wishy-washy moderate Republicans like Senator Mitch McConnell to ask for a refund . . .
Now it seems, according to a website, Lisa Murkowski has hired Democratic strategist Cathy Allen:

Seattle political consultant Cathy Allen, mastermind of many a winning Democratic campaign message, has flown to Alaska to help a Republican. She’ll advise U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski in a longshot write-in campaign for re-election. Murkowski’s own party turned her down in Alaska’s Senate primary, in favor of Tea Party conservative Joe Miller.

This amounts to nothing short of political embezzlement. Murkowski received millions of dollars in campaign contributions from Republican donors who, quite naturally, expected her to support Republican policies and advance Republican interests. Instead, she is now trying to defeat the Republican nominee and hiring Democrats to help her do it. Continue reading The Great RINO Rip-Off: Murkowski Uses GOP Money to Hire Democrat Staffers →

SATURDAY: Help Celebrate National ‘Denounce Lisa Murkowski Day’

Posted on Comments

Let’s face it: Lisa the Loser’s pathetic write-in campaign is such a disgusting RINO backstabber move that even Charlie Crist would be ashamed to try anything so transparently desperate.

To call Murkowski foul scum would be an insult to scum.

The editors of National Review have taken Senate Republicans to task for failing to strip Murkowski of her position on the Energy Committee. Were there any justice in the world, she’d get it a lot worse than that.

Where is the Spencer Ackerman of the Right, who will urge us to smash Murkowski’s name through a plate-glass window, take a snapshot of the bleeding mess and send it out in a Christmas card to let Senate Republicans know that they need to live in a state of constant fear?

Go give money to Joe Miller to help him stomp Murkowski into RINO smithereens, and then tell the world what an awful monster she is.

Spelling ‘Bite Me’ Is Fun and Easy!

Posted on Comments

Not since Americans were intoduced to the term “Scozzafava” (a synonym for two-faced backstabber) has any new hipster phrase caught on as quickly as “Murkowski,” meaning selfish bitch.

Earlier this week, Mel Bryant at Conservatives for Palin pointed out that even Lisa the Loser’s own staff can’t remember how to spell her name, as seen in the final shot of this ad for her doomed write-in campaign:

“Make history”? Yeah, Lisa: You’re the biggest sore loser in history. But you should change that slogan:

MURKOWSKI? IT’S EASY TO SPELL: L-O-S-E-R

Knock Knock.
 Who’s There?
Levi.
Levi Who?

Levi Johnston is a total loser who’s never gonna have another chance at anybody half as fine as Bristol Palin!

They’re reporting that Mama Grizzly will be in the studio when Bristol makes her debut performance on “Dancing With the Stars.”

Having had the opportunity to hang out with Todd Palin, I know that he’s tough enough to rip off your arm and beat you to death with the bloody stump.

So I’m not going to make any remarks about Bristol that could be interpreted as disrespectful, OK?

Bristol is only 19 years old and therefore more appropriately of interest to my 17-year-old sons than to any of us old geezers. And I hope the commenters will keep that in mind, as well.

But Levi . . . Dude. What a loser.

DANCING WITH THE STARS: ABC 8 p.m. ET

UPDATE: The Rhetorican: “My Agent’s Better Than Your Agent.”

Bristol did VERY well, thank you very much. She seemed a little bashful, but I think she’ll get better as she gains confidence.

To vote for Bristol, text “VOTE” to 3407.

UPDATE II: You can also vote online by clicking here.

UPDATE III: As might be expected, the AOSHQ Morons had a lot of laughs at the expense of the unfortunate Margaret Cho.

UPDATE IV: Linked by Tim at Left Coast Rebel, and there’s a Memeorandum thread.

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

Posted on Comments

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. 

She has allowed her Palin-hating campaign chairman, John Bitney, and her Palin-hating consultant, Andrew Halcro, to convince her that she should destroy what little dignity she still had left.

What’s the phrase she used in her speech?

“We’re in this together.”

Yeah, that’s it, Lisa: You and your delusional RINO buddies, you’re in this together. I guess you didn’t want to let Charlie Crist run away with the 2010 Laughingstock of the Year Award.

As Professor William Jacobson says, “We have proven our point.”

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. Lisa Murkowski has decided to run as a write-in candidate in the November election, according to an e-mail from a campaign supporter. And a Murkowski cousin, Mary Gore, wrote on her Facebook page today that Murkowski will announce her continued candidacy in Anchorage this afternoon.

On the bright side? This ought to silence all Republican criticism of Christine O’Donnell’s campaign. Hell’s bells, Charlie Crist has a better chance of winning in Florida than Lisa Murkowski has in Alaska — and Charlie’s got no chance at all.

UPDATE: Dan Fagan of the Alaska Standard:

Just as Frank and Lisa Murkowski put their own interests ahead of the nation’s eight years ago with nepotism, Lisa will once again put political ambition ahead of love for country.
Your television screen will reveal to you something very important today. . . .
Take a close look at those standing behind Murkowski. You will be looking into the eyes of establishment Republicans desperately trying to hold onto our country’s big government, special interest ways. The Murkowski live news conference will reveal to us those in the party who probably never were conservatives.

“Probably”? There are a lot of opportunists in the GOP, “Professional Republicans” whose partisanship is a function of career interest. Perhaps they’ve been in the game so long they can no longer distinguish between political principle and personal ambition, but they certainly never let the former get in the way of the latter.

Bright side? They’re falling like dominoes now: Arlen Specter, Dede Scozzafava, Charlie Crist, Bob Bennett, Bob Inglis, Mike Castle . . . and now, as Doug Brady points out, Alaska Sen. Veruca Salt:

JOE MILLER for U.S. SENATE
