Cat Fight! Mark Begich vs. Lisa Murkowski

By Baxter

We cats are grateful that Alaska's Republican Senator has been so petulant about being mentioned in Mark Begich's ads. It reminded us that we wanted to ship a few bucks Mark's way. (You can, too.)

Meanwhile, though, it's kind of amusing to watch Lisa Murkowski get all umbrage-y, particularly since Begich has called her on toeing the Republican Party line at her constituents' expense.

Murkowski, miffed, has declared she doesn't take orders from Rancid Pieface and the RNC. But we cats think she does, since — although we're confident the Democratic ground game will prevent it — a Begich loss next week would deprive The Last Frontier of an important seat on the Senate Appropriations Committee. Apparently, Lisa is a Republican first and an Alaskan second.

We'll see how Murkowski feels about all this when the Famous Quitter takes her on in her next GOP primary. Sarah Palin said this week that she's got another race in her. And since her legacy was built on taking down Lisa's daddy Frank, why wouldn't she want to resurrect her career by taking down Lisa?

Hmmmm: Maybe we should change our headline to "Murkowski vs. Palin." We cats PURR.
