— Ace A funny dispute going on with entitled Princess Lisa of Naboo. Slublog covered this earlier, but I wanted to include the ads, too.
First, this ad, which doesn't have anything to do with the dispute, but which is pretty hilarious:
Then this one, from the Tea Party Express, hitting similar notes:
So, of course, to prove she's not an entitled, pampered, hissy-fitting little nepot, she screams about the last ad (at Hot Air).
U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski’s campaign is warning Alaska broadcasters not to air ads by a national tea party group that the campaign says are “littered with lies and intentional mischaracterizations” about her and her write-in campaign.Attorney Timothy McKeever, in a letter to broadcasters Monday, said they are under a “legal and moral obligation” not to air the new ads from Tea Party Express, which is supporting Joe Miller, the political upstart who defeated Murkowski in the August GOP primary…
At issue is an ad the group unveiled Monday, entitled “Arrogant Lisa Murkowski — You Lost!” It seeks to paint Murkowski as more interested in political self-preservation than in serving the interests of Alaskans. It also claims she didn’t “earn” her Senate seat and that she “tried to manipulate the Libertarian party into giving her their slot” on the ballot — claims McKeever called “materially false.
Allah runs down how drama-queen stupid this all is, and also has the Tea Party Express "apologizing" for its "mistake." Which is that they are sorry they didn't have more time to include the other ways in which Princess Lisa is a spoiled little prat.
There is nothing false here. Nothing even below the belt, considering politics ain't beanbag. She is doing nothing but whine and scream and stamp her feet, which only confirms the central message of the ads.

The good news is Lisa Murkowski won't be reelected, and the better news is some other guy in fucking that chick.

All those years she got her participation trophy and never learned how to graciously deal with defeat.

The Repubs up there need to put out info misspelling her name: For a write-in candidate, the last name must be spelled correctly on the ballot

Simple fix. Shave one side of the pubes, light the other side on fire, and when the crabs run to shaved side, stab them with an ice pick.

Even more so, as the proud creator of one of the stupidest, most annoying memes at AoS, I would note that the genuine Intrade Troll Comment© is only used on poll threads to incessantly mock a particular lefty troll.
But I thank the impostor for his enthusiasm.

Lol. I love how bLow and slow calls Palin a RINO while supporting Letitia Mulvaney. I wonder which oil company he's a lobbyist for.
bLow and slow, is your real name Andrew Halcro?

Just whisper to the druggist, "Pyranate 2000". Probably spelled it wrong but he'll know. Would probably work on Merkowskee if you applied it with a pump sprayer.

Remember when Murky was claiming that she was staying in the race at the beheast of Alaskans who had urged her to run as a write-in? One of them is a Democrat pollster and political consultant.
And it seems that Murky is not pulling votes from Miller as much as she is from the Democrat.

The first one is a radio ad. I suppose they could have dolled it up for viral internet purposes but putting it on Youtube was probably an afterthought.

If you rail against government bennies, be prepared to face questions:
Miller confirmed Monday in an e-mail to The Associated Press that his wife, Kathleen, received unemployment benefits "for a short period of time" after leaving her job as a clerk/secretary in his federal magistrate's office.
Miller was a part-time federal magistrate from 2002 to 2004. He said that due to the time commitments involved, it was not uncommon then for people who worked as both part-time magistrates and lawyers to have the same people working for them in both offices. He said in many cases, those employees included family members. He said he spoke with members of the federal court -- even before applying for the job -- about his wife and said he'd received approval to have her work for him.
Miller entered the Senate race in April because he said he believes the nation is at a crisis point, Washington is out of control, and the federal government is on the brink of bankruptcy. He has been criticized for recent disclosures that he and his family received government benefits in the past, including farm subsidies on land he owned in Kansas in the 1990s and low-income hunting and fishing licenses for him and his wife after they first moved to Alaska.
He said he's never denied that he has received benefits and said he isn't receiving them currently.

So that's her idea of bipartisanship? She screws over both parties (after playing pass the bong with the Libertarians)?
Posted by: Blue Hen at October 05, 2010 11:05 AM (R2fpr)
Hhmmm...I'm sure that's some kind of cut and paste hit job against the conservative Miller but...It's lacking the oomph of a real story.

Makes sense. The first ad is dominated by that narrator's voice.

@63
Unemployment is initially paid by the employer in the form of insurance, not by the government. The recent extensions have been paid by the government; Miller's wife's unemployment has not been equated with extended government unemployment benefits.

Actually, I took it from Hot Air's link that Ace linked to.
Not a hit, job. Just an FYI to the folks who don't read the articles and may not know what is being reported.

I'm up here in Alaska and it would appear the TV stations are being over to Murkowski. I haven't seen any anti-Murkowski ads lately at all, especially not this one.
I am so glad that I voted Joe.
