Joe, We Hardly Knew Ye

By Baxter

Now we cats know that Christmas is really over. Because Joe Miller, the gift that kept on giving, is apparently on the brink of leaving the political stage.

The unshaven teabagger — who would cop the title of worst candidate of 2010 if it weren't for Christine O'Donnellwill not contest the certification of Lisa Murkowski as the winner of Alaska's drawn-out Senate race.

Most normal people would assume that this would be the end of the line for Miller. But he keeps hinting that he'll pursue his lawsuit against Murkowski's victory in federal court — so there's hope among all amused Democrats that this crazy turkey may not be fully cooked yet.

Meanwhile, it's always fun to visit Free Republic and see what the teabaggers there are saying. Here are a few choice quotes. (We cats take no responsibility for capitalization or lack thereof.)

"Alaska’s loss."

"Sad, sad day for Alaska, the country and Justice."

"Repeal the 17th amendmend [sic] and recall the senator."

"Republican leadership in the Congress should place [Murkowski] in the worst office in the building. Right next to the Dumpster. But they won’t."

"I now consider Alaska’s judiciary and election system to be as corrupt as those in Venezuela."

"[Murkowski] is NOT the choice of Alaskans. We voted her OUT in the primaries. This election was stolen by fraud by Unions, democrat voters, and crooked Native association executives, whose job it is to PLUNDER the Native association investments and treasuries. THIS ELECTION WAS STOLEN."

Note to Freepers: We cats understand that stolen-election feeling. Except, for real.

UPDATE: It's Tuesday, and U.S. district judge has just tossed Miller's federal lawsuit. Although this would deal any sane individual's campaign a final crippling blow, we cats say, hey — Joe's a teabagger, so never count him out for crazy behavior. And it would be fun to see if Joe screams "bias." See, the judge was appointed by an election-stealer himself — the Worst Person Who's Ever Lived.
