Anchorage's Finest

By Zamboni

So the Alaska Senate race has declined to this: Thugs from Joe Miller's campaign detained and handcuffed a reporter for trying to ask the teabagger candidate a question.

In short, to paraphrase Abraham Ribicoff, Miller has used Gestapo tactics against a journalist who was merely attempting to do his job. Good heavens!

Since Miller and his fellow teabaggers Rand Paul, Christine O'Donnell and Sharron Angle believe that they're above answering queries from the Fourth Estate, we cats have a proposition for them.

Teabaggers, if you refuse to submit to reasonable questions from the press — who serve as the people's representatives — we cats will assume that the answer to ALL of the following questions is "YES":

  • Did you mock Christianity during your college days?
  • Have you not paid your federal income taxes — or paid them late?
  • Have you fraudulently received unemployment compensation?
  • Have you fraudulently received agricultural subsidies?
  • Have you lied about your academic record?
  • Have financial institutions initiated foreclosure actions against you?
  • Have you declared personal bankruptcy?
  • Have you been arrested?
  • Has the police responded to a domestic violence call about you?
  • Are you a self-righteous hypocrite who's putting one over on the needlessly angry and frightened people who say they believe in you?
