Murkowski, Outski

Tim Cavanaugh | August 23, 2006

From the Last Frontier, Kwix sends in the news that Frank Murkowski, "the civil rights-violating Governor who attempted to unconstitutionally recriminalize Marijuana 3 times in his tenure, and gave us this lovely piece of crap last week," has lost the GOP primary with only 19 percent of the vote. Former Democratic Gov. Tony Knowles will square off in November against Murkowski's primary conqueror, former Wasilla mayor Sarah Palin. I know nothing about either candidate, except that Palin looks delightfully perky while Knowles appears to be suffering from the freezer burn to which, I presume, Alaskans are especially prone.
