Shame... she looks crazy enough.
But not blue enough.
Positively terrifying.
Every time a bell rings, a politician's sucker-shaped mouth is pried off the public tit!
Oh, talk dirty to us.
Well, it's just one. Just 309,999,999 to go.
Thank God. I can't imagine a worse example of libertarianism than a second-generation career politician.
Doesn't the Alaskan Independence Party have ballot status? Couldn't she jump to them?
Richard Winger -- we need you!
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.
We're not that desperate, thank you very much.
She must have wondered aloud who the hell cares about domestic ferret bans.
My caption: "Fire BAD!"
Ha ha!
I don't think I've ever seen the acronym LINO tossed around before this.
Bob Barr?
Howard Stern?
::cough cough:: Glenn Beck ::cough::
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.
We don't? Since when?
Ann Coulter? 2000? http://www.jewishworldreview.c.....092600.asp
Every libertarian but me?
There's been some talk about you, as well.
Crazy, sexy talk.
How is she a libertarian?
First they came for the sheep fuckers and I said, "Where the hell you takin' me???
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.
I think LION would be more cutesy and fit in better with RINO and DINO.
Man, you guys should have included that pic. What an ugly ass mouth on an ugly ass mug.
She must be one of those "Mama Grizzlies" I keep hearing about.
Odd seeing one out of the wild.
What, nobody's mentioned Dondero?
Um, someone did.....
C'mon Reason, grow a pair.
Mike Gravel, now Lisa Murkowski? What's up with non-libertarian Alaskan politicians trying to jump on our bandwagon whenever they lose primary?
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."
