Sisterhood Of The Shrew

Luella Madcowski and Christine O'Donnell may be the Thelma & Louise of the Republican Party as phony baloney, plastic banana RINOs with malignantly overgrown personal entitlement neuroses, but for sheer loathsomeness the bug-eyed crackwhore has only one true match on the Dark Side:

Stay with me here: The Boxer campaign has acknowledged that the letter we posted earlier on Boxer campaign letterhead soliciting teachers to recruit student volunteers is authentic… but they weren’t really soliciting teachers to recruit student volunteers… but they are still sorry. Prepare to have your intelligence insulted by Boxer campaign manager Rose Kapolczynski:

Because some local social studies teachers encourage students to volunteer, Boxer campaign volunteer coordinators notified a handful of schools near the campaign headquarters that the campaign was accepting volunteers. The letter did not ask teachers to solicit students to work on the campaign or to use school facilities, supplies or equipment for political purposes. The sole intent of the letter was to provide interested students with information about a volunteer opportunity. However, the letter, which was written by a volunteer and reviewed by a junior staffer, was inappropriate and we apologize. The author of the letter has been counseled and campaign coordinators will no longer conduct outreach to public schools.”

Oh, no, Team M'am didn't ask teachers to exploit young skulls full of mush into serving as coulee labor for her misbegotten re-election effort (which is her TOUGHEST YET, she'll have you indignantly know).  Of course, they didn't have to, either.  The teachers union knows its role, and knows not to leave any tracks that can't be obscured by such flimsy-yet-quasi-plausible deniability.  Which is then completely piddled away by the halo-polishing of faking contrition in a "just in case anybody was offended" by it sorta way.

The funny part (in a gallows humor sense)?  An ethics complaint has been filed against....the chairm'am of the Senate Ethics Committee.  The bad part?  Guess who's chairm'am of the Senate Ethics Committee?

Imagine if Babsy Boxer was in REAL trouble.  As in not the "trauma" of being only ahead by low to mid single-digits and having to ACTUALLY CAMPAIGN for another term, but having let herself get submarined in her party primary, missing the deadline for filing for the general election as an independent, and having to go the write-in route.

Good thing Princess Brazilian Pixie Dust's family rules the forty-ninth state like the Kims do the Hermit Kingdom, huh?  No trauma, like complying with Alaska election law, for Daddy's little girl, no sir:

After a day's worth of back-and-forth, the Alaska Supreme Court on Wednesday said voters can look at a list of certified write-in candidates when they go to the polls.

The Supreme Court's decision late Wednesday blocked a lower court ruling made earlier in the day from taking effect while the high court further considers an appeal.

The Alaska Democratic Party and the Alaska Republican Party joined forces this week in court seeking to keep the list out of voting places. They thought they'd won the case Wednesday morning when the lower court judge told the state Division of Elections to remove the list from voting places statewide.

But the Supreme Court decision allows voters at early voting sites to see the lists if they say they need help and want to be shown a list of write-in candidates. The decision could aid Senator Lisa Murkowski's write-in U.S. Senate bid; her campaign had fought to keep the lists at polling places.

"This stay will ensure that Alaskans can continue to get the assistance they're entitled to under law," said campaign manager Kevin Sweeney in a statement.

The Supreme Court did say the lists must not disclose the party affiliation of the write-in candidates. And the ballots of those voters who ask for the list must be segregated from the ballots of other voters, pending any additional appeals.

Right.  Because Lula McAadoo's personal powerquest is "all about the people."  I guess that means "the people" are "entitled" to her as their senator-for-life/pork ATM, too.

Care to take bets on whether Lucy Milgaard will replace John F'n Kerry as Double-B's cap & tax co-sponsor next year?  It's a fool's wager, gentlebeings.
