  1. Jose Ortega y Gasset   15 years ago

    Shame... she looks crazy enough.

    1. Citizen Nothing   15 years ago

      But not blue enough.

    2. Extended Warren T   15 years ago

      Positively terrifying.

  2. Jeffersonian   15 years ago

    Every time a bell rings, a politician's sucker-shaped mouth is pried off the public tit!

    1. Jeff P   15 years ago

      Oh, talk dirty to us.

      1. Jeffersonian   15 years ago

        Well, it's just one. Just 309,999,999 to go.

  3. R C Dean   15 years ago

    Thank God. I can't imagine a worse example of libertarianism than a second-generation career politician.

  4. Citizen Nothing   15 years ago

    Doesn't the Alaskan Independence Party have ballot status? Couldn't she jump to them?

    1. Citizen Nothing   15 years ago

      Richard Winger -- we need you!

    2. Colin   15 years ago

      They didn't put forth a candidate. Her only option would be as a write-in.

      She could still win the primary. If I recall correctly Stevens was up by more than Miller is before they started counting the Absentees.

  5. Attorney   15 years ago

    We're not that desperate, thank you very much.

  6. Hugh Akston   15 years ago

    She must have wondered aloud who the hell cares about domestic ferret bans.

    1. Brett L   15 years ago

      My caption: "Fire BAD!"

  7. Nelson Muntz   15 years ago

    Ha ha!

  8. Brett L   15 years ago

    I don't think I've ever seen the acronym LINO tossed around before this.

    1. Jerry   15 years ago

      Bob Barr?

    2. BakedPenguin   15 years ago

      Howard Stern?

    3. Hugh Akston   15 years ago

      ::cough cough:: Glenn Beck ::cough::

    4. Brett L   15 years ago

      Well of course they're all "fake" libertarians -- not being subscribers to my one true brand. But we don't usually have LINO calling contests in the threads is all.

      1. T   15 years ago

        We don't? Since when?

    5. James Anderson Merritt   15 years ago

      Ann Coulter? 2000? http://www.jewishworldreview.c.....092600.asp

  9. Every Libertarian   15 years ago

    Every libertarian but me?

    1. T   15 years ago

      There's been some talk about you, as well.

      1. Extended Warren T   15 years ago

        Crazy, sexy talk.

  10. Anonymous   15 years ago

    How is she a libertarian?

  11. Joel Pile   15 years ago

    First they came for the sheep fuckers and I said, "Where the hell you takin' me???

  12. R C Dean   15 years ago

    She does have the Repub Party machine behind her 100%, so I would give her good odds of "finding" enough ballots with her name on them to win.

  13. Ray   15 years ago

    I think LION would be more cutesy and fit in better with RINO and DINO.

  14. sage   15 years ago

    Man, you guys should have included that pic. What an ugly ass mouth on an ugly ass mug.

  15. Mr Whipple   15 years ago

    She must be one of those "Mama Grizzlies" I keep hearing about.

    Odd seeing one out of the wild.

  16. qwerty   15 years ago

    What, nobody's mentioned Dondero?

    1. PicassoIII   15 years ago

      Um, someone did.....

      C'mon Reason, grow a pair.

  17. Hobo Chang Ba   15 years ago

    Mike Gravel, now Lisa Murkowski? What's up with non-libertarian Alaskan politicians trying to jump on our bandwagon whenever they lose primary?

  18. ever nike outlet   15 years ago

    To CBO's credit, they have done things (to people like Klein's chagrin) such as saying about the Medicare cuts "we're scoring them, but we want to point out there is very little chance these will ever actually happen."
