Crappy Alaskans

MSNBC's Keith Olbermann posts daily the "Worst Person in the World". There is also a weekly broadcast of the "Dumbest of the Dumb", wherein the latter award goes to Annabel Coulter time after time after time! And soon to hit the bookshelves on the same day that Sarah Palin’s “Liking It Rough” makes America look like a bunch of dummies or perverts, is the 1st addition of a new and long awaited book called "Crappy Alaskans". Of course of interest as a sneak preview and something that should not be a shock to anyone is the fact that it appears Alaskan politicians of past and present will fill a hefty portion of the book, wherein sale proceeds are to benefit Don Young’s wood chip export facility. That’s the eyesore one can see from Anchorage’s coastal trail, that thing that looks like wasted scrap metal ruining the natural scenery. And look out, here comes his amphibious assault vessel racing across the inlet and raising havoc upon the few remaining beluga whales that wanted to call this a peaceful home! Now with so many potential candidates for “Crappy Alaskans” the author didn’t have to worry about “Pages Intentionally Left Blank” with the 1st addition of “Corrupt Bastards” in print. But the sneak preview allowed reprinting some of the intellectual property content through the generous permission from the author and publisher. And low and behold it indicts Frank Murkowski the honors of Alaska's “Crappiest Alaskan" and daughter Lisa as the runner up for the “crap” award. The blurb: When Frank vacated his U.S. Senate seat and ran for governor of Alaska, he decided to place his own daughter in the vacant U.S. Senate seat. This was a pure demonstration of disenfranchising the rights, will and voice of the common people. This would give daughter Lisa a running edge up should she find an interest for furthering her political aspirations when the senate seat came up for its normal re-election cycle, as incumbents very rarely loose no matter how bad they represent the constituency as long as they bring home the bacon and are members of the GOP. This was a given formula of success as found throughout Alaska’s political history. So daughter Lisa was asshoein, say it slow it says “a shoe in”. Even though most states prohibit this type of nepotism, providing laws that ban temporary's the right to run for election after the term ends, it was allowed in this situation after Frank enlisted legal opinions that were not clear on the language of Alaska's very own Constitution or upon current state statutes that warned against this type of mental behavior or disorder - as some have considered such a belligerent move not in the best interest of the public. As a matter of fact and found out after the assignment was signed, sealed and Lisa delivered herself to Congress, that was indeed the true language of fact found within the checks and balances written in Alaska’s very own Constitution - to make sure this type of thing cannot occur. But the language was challenged in efforts to allow Lisa the vacancy and at the same time allow for future expansion of her political career. Now this is not to bare down on Lisa, as this writing, a culmination of Alaska crap artists like father Frank, Ted Stevens, Ben Stevens, Don Young, Ted Andersen, Bill Allen and many more, it does not try to portray any positive or negatives upon how Lisa has maintained that seat and demonstrated representation for the people and by the people, just the fact that there were many others out there qualified but had not the pull or money to get this high this fast without help from outsiders. So said though, Lisa received ranking #2 as the "2nd Crappiest Alaskan" not because of her land dealings with Bob Penny, but was voted an honorary member because she accepted the senate seat when all the time she should have realized that this was unfair to America and denounced her fathers pick. Father & daughter, what a team! So when your sons or daughters ask how they can become a senator or congressmen, tell them they can't because the Henhouse has been raped by politicians like Frank who care about one thing, and that care doesn't include the American spirit but selfish greed beyond a doubt. Frank Murkowski, voted unanimously “Crappiest Alaskan” and daughter Lisa voted the “2nd Crappiest Alaskan”. Time for the champagne!
