He'll Have The Humble Pie

"Guess I should pick out some office furniture. . .while in DC" "Think I'll do some house hunting while in DC" -- From September 29 Twitter tweets from tweeting twat Joe "Brawny Man" Miller of Alaska, who was defeated by incumbent Sen. Lisa "Murky" Murkowski's successful write-in bid (according to the Associated Press), but who's refused to concede defeat. It also represents a rebuke to a certain former half-term Alaska Governor and full-time snowbilly cable star, who strongly backed Brawny Man.

One of the many ballots for Murkowski that Brawny Man challenged had "Lisa" with a script "L" rather than a block "L." Classy move, er, "BM."

"Let's See, It's M-e-r. . .no, M-i-r. . ."


Alaska Rethug Sen. Lisa "Murky" Murkowski lost her primary to teatard candidate Joe "Brawny Man" Miller, and now has announced a write-in campaign for November's general election. To that we say, "You go, girrrrll!" Undoubtedly, Murky's chances are, well, murky for a couple of reasons. First, the teatard right has already gone for Bounty Man, so she'll get most of the people that voted for her in the primaries, but not that many more. Second, writing in her name might prove to be a major hurdle for the intellectually challenged Alaskan voters, who actually elected someone like Winky You Betcha as Governor. Can you imagine them trying to spell her name correctly on the ballot? Neither can we, but if she can split the reactionary vote with Brawny Man and a Libertarian who's also running, maybe Dem candidate Scott McAdams can edge closer to a plurality.
