Joe Miller Still Whining About That Election He Lost 1,000 Years Ago

by Riley Waggaman  

Maybe a book deal will shut him up for a few weeks?

    For the love of Joseph and Mary’s unsullied maidenhead: When will Joe Miller stop smelling his own farts and accept the fact that he is a loser? “Probably never,” according to everyone. “He’s a hopeless dick.” Miller is still peddling the same sad legal argument — “voter intent” is in violation of what Joe Miller intended, or something — in hopes that he will be vindicated and Lisa Murkowski will be arrested for massive voter fraud. This is Joe Miller’s wettest dream, and he will describe it to the Alaska Supreme Court this afternoon. Will voter intent prevail over Joe Miller’s perverted sense of Democracy? Alaska’s smug Assistant Attorney General points out that it’s “hard to imagine how a voter who wrote ‘Lisa Murcowsky’ or even ‘Leeza Murcowski’ might have been trying to vote for anyone else.” Yes, hard to imagine if you’re not a bearded megalomaniac.

Lawyers. Is there anything they can't.do?

slappypaddy December 17, 2010 at 9:31 am

they're not very good at shutting the fuck up, but it pays well.

run_said_ran December 17, 2010 at 9:46 am

In this particular instance, they can't win for losing lying whining … feck it, you get the gist.

Rarian Rakista December 17, 2010 at 3:59 pm

Be good neighbors, also they should never run homeowner associations. I got threatened with lawsuits every time I had a rake or snow shovel on my front porch. or left my garage door open.

Terry December 17, 2010 at 9:18 am

The voters' intent is that Joe Miller should go live in a primative cabin in the remote Alaskan bush and write out manifestos in long hand by himself.

freakishlywrong December 17, 2010 at 9:28 am

And take his trashy patron with him.

trampndirtdown December 17, 2010 at 9:48 am

Jeesus bothof them and all those kids, it'd be like the Duggers north.

If these wingnut "revolutionaries" were half as good as real revolutionaries they'd have headed to the hills a lOng time ago. I'm guessing they like living in houses and eating well. No personal sacrifice in a libertarian revolution. Everyone is to busy hoarding.

Terry December 17, 2010 at 10:42 am

There is never personal sacrifice in hard core libertarianism. Their motto is "I got mine, screw you".

V572625694 December 17, 2010 at 10:56 am

You say that like it's a bad thing. If the Young Poors could be more selfish, they'd have better opportunities available to them than fighting in Afghanistan.

GunTotingProgressive December 17, 2010 at 9:22 am

I think you meant to write "stubbled megalomaniac." Jeebus, if you are going to grow a beard, grow a fucking beard! None of this "Don Johnson on an extended lost weekend" look plz.

bitchincamaro2 December 17, 2010 at 9:42 am

Faux beards are OVER!

-Portlandia

horsedreamer_1 December 17, 2010 at 9:59 am

Now that even hicks &/or "hicks" from Podunk, Wisconsin, are sporting Grizzly Adams beards — cough, Bon Iver, cough — the Coastal elite/Cultural vanguard has to find a new affectation to co-opt. Only right & natural, that.

What will the new accoutrement be, though? Any guesses?

deelzebub December 17, 2010 at 10:15 am

This time next fall, I see hipster girls carrying $400 plaid hobo bindles instead of purses.

HurricaneAli December 17, 2010 at 10:20 am

Hobo-chic. It's funny because it's sad.

horsedreamer_1 December 17, 2010 at 10:29 am

I have always wondered how those same hipster girls afford such things, so expensive, when none seem to work more than 20 hrs a week making coffee or shelving books (library, or Barnes n' Noble/Powell's/some such) & go out two or three or four nites a week, to the bars. (Granted: friends comp them drinks, on that last.) Where's the money deriving from? Sugar-daddies? Trust-funds? Selling pot?

bitchincamaro2 December 17, 2010 at 10:55 am

Walking in her Williamsburg neighborhood last week, my 20-ish daughter reprimanded me for uttering the pejorative, "hipster". She expected I'd get "accidentally" run over by a fixie?

ManchuCandidate December 17, 2010 at 9:22 am

Joe Miller will enter the legal history books with his "All White People Names Look alike" Defense.

Maybe Alaska's not as retarded as we thought… /sees Palin show ad/ um, maybe not.

problemwithcaring December 17, 2010 at 9:26 am

I'm as confused as he is. How could cozing up so close to Governor Quitbilly and Hot Toddy not win over voters in Alaska?

freakishlywrong December 17, 2010 at 9:33 am

I'll be looking for "Governor Quitbilly " to go viral and possibly end up on a librul cable show or possibly a fake news show. Your pee does not do that justice.

ChessieNefercat December 17, 2010 at 9:40 am

I love that. "Quitbilly." Perfect.

AntonovBureau December 17, 2010 at 9:26 am

He's just sore because he really did order all those fancy curtains for the place he rented in DC.

JoeMamased December 17, 2010 at 9:28 am

Can't Alaska find Joe Miller a nice ice floe where he can be Senator all he wants?

SorosBot December 17, 2010 at 9:31 am

Joe seems like our old friend Orly Taitz, in that he's gonna keep bringing the same moronic lawsuit up over and over again in hope of finding a judge who won't literally laugh him out of court.

seppdecker December 17, 2010 at 9:33 am

Joe – This is just nature's way of telling you that America isn't stupid enough to vote for you. But don't worry – it took Reagan and Nixon a few tries too! Come back after twelve more years of corn syrup and reality TV and you'll get those drapes.

bumfug December 17, 2010 at 9:33 am

Riley, thanks for the proof that the TSA touches dicks just because they like to touch dicks.

LocalGirlMakesGoo December 17, 2010 at 9:35 am

Has anybody bothered to give Miller a drug test? The delusions and crazy-talk aside, that hair just screams meth-head.

slappypaddy December 17, 2010 at 9:35 am

"the wisest man will let himself be swayed by others' wisdom and relax in time." — sophocat, "foregone's conclusion"

how might this apply to joe miller? discuss.

x111e7thst December 17, 2010 at 9:35 am

I don't know about Alaska's voters but I want Joe the Miller to retire to a wheat field in Kansas and dedicate his time and energy to growing a real beard.

Rarian Rakista December 17, 2010 at 4:09 pm

Maybe his beard and Christine O'Donnell's merkin can meet and mash together like sweaty Velcro.

Negropolis December 17, 2010 at 9:44 pm

A government-subsidized wheat field in Kansas, to be more accurate.

4TheTurnstiles December 17, 2010 at 9:36 am

Context: Joe Miller just lost a contest that fucking *Mike Gravel* won.

Analysis: dude needs more psychadelia

SorosBot December 17, 2010 at 9:37 am

Look on the bright side of the new DC metro idiocy; if you're in Washington and are late for work, you now can use the excuse "I'm sorry, but our country has a paranoid retarded over-reaction to the imaginary threat of terrorism".

freakishlywrong December 17, 2010 at 9:49 am

And to back that shit up, just always carry a lighted xmas ornament where ever you go.

deanbooth December 17, 2010 at 9:37 am

If a gun makes it through a checkpoint, it's breaking news. If thirty-thousand are shot in a drug war, it's a statistic.

DeeJayKitteh December 17, 2010 at 9:38 am

Last month, TSA Chief John Pistole told ABC News that the poor performance during undercover tests helped convince him that airport screening needed to get that much tougher — and a desire to do better helped give rise to the controversial new regimen that includes enhanced pat-downs and back-scatter machines that can see beneath a traveler's clothing.

Really? Because the TSA agents are failing for looking for weapons in bags, we have to go through porno screeners and get fingerbanged by TSA agents? The bags don't go through a more extensive screen, but I have to? It's this kind of stupidity that makes me feel all stabby. But luckily, if it happens in the airport, chances are the TSA won't notice.

deelzebub December 17, 2010 at 9:47 am

How about their being harsh fines for screeners that fail at their jobs. If you want a job that failure at which could result in thousands of deaths, then take it seriously and face consequences when you invariably fuck it up.

DeeJayKitteh December 17, 2010 at 10:07 am

That is rational and logical, so clearly it would never even be considered by Homeland Security.

SorosBot December 17, 2010 at 9:59 am

And as recent events have shown, since 9/11 if someone wannabe terrorist tries any shit on a plane the other passengers will stop them. This shit is completely unnecessary.

bagofmice December 17, 2010 at 10:58 am

No kidding. Thanks to cell-phones on planes, we figured that out DURING the attack.

Monsieur_Grumpe December 17, 2010 at 9:39 am

Last night the BBC was interviewing a Texas gun dealer who was quite aware that many of his guns ended up in the hands of the Mexican drug cartel. He was asked if he had any remorse over these sales. A decisive “Nope.” was the immediate answer.

SorosBot December 17, 2010 at 9:46 am

Well then it's too bad the Mexican drug aren't actually invading Texas so they can go after this sociopath.

Rarian Rakista December 17, 2010 at 4:12 pm

Alamo II, with Perry starring, would be a pretty cool sequel, in the first one it was a bunch of disgruntled slave owners against the free people of Mexico, what is it going to be this time?

PsycWench December 17, 2010 at 10:27 am

Too bad that wasn't followed up by an interview with Rick Perry. I'd love to hear how he spun it.

petehammer December 17, 2010 at 11:21 am

Well, since Rick Perry all done succeeded and all, Texas, as an independent nation, can negotiate arms sales with Mexico as they see fit.

GOPCrusher December 17, 2010 at 4:05 pm

I suppose he figured that if the guns he sells, go across the border to kill Mexicans, that will be that many less Mexicans that will come into America and take his jerb.

VinnyThePooh December 17, 2010 at 9:40 am

The real issue here is Joe Miller's intent.

deelzebub December 17, 2010 at 9:43 am

It seems Juarez, Mexico is the new Beirut. I hope the cartels indulge in a siesta while my cousin's wife and toddler have to go through that hell-hole to finish her immigration.

GregComlish December 17, 2010 at 9:45 am

Does Wonkette have a PayPal link? It breaks my heart to see them prostituting themselves for some Astroturf group defending shitty for-profit colleges. Those places exist to exploit the poor and to exploit the government student loan program. They saddle the poor with massive debt and then kick them to the curb with no job skills.

Sassomatic December 17, 2010 at 9:50 am

Not true. They can qualify for their dream job in the medical field. (In which they will be paid minimum wage and have to health insurance.)

Sassomatic December 17, 2010 at 10:25 am

no health insurance, even. Sorry, not sober yet.

Rarian Rakista December 17, 2010 at 4:14 pm

If you need health insurance commit a cool crime like rape or murder, free health insurance for life.

trampndirtdown December 17, 2010 at 10:01 am

Are you telling me that the commercials I see aren't true? You know the ones that show some actor thriving in his new career, hosting parties for his indigent relatives in front of his new 60" flat screen in his new california rancher, both unpaid for.

Rarian Rakista December 17, 2010 at 4:15 pm

At the end of those commercials, what we don't see, is all the actors are ground up and made into a semi-nutritious puppy chow.

transfatz December 18, 2010 at 12:42 am

Wonkette is prostituting themselves? For an Astroturf group? Great! So the holiday party is finally here. How did I miss this?

PublicLuxury December 17, 2010 at 9:45 am

This is happening because Joe Miller needs moar butt secks. He's sexually frustrated and needs to be brought to the :P romise Land in Missouri. They'll rock his unshaven, Grizzly Adams, Doc Johnson world. Seck fixes everything. The end.

ttommyunger December 17, 2010 at 11:18 am

Hey! I'm a Missouri Boy and I want you to know I resent the allegation, and I resent the alligator! (Apologies to the King-Fish)

PublicLuxury December 17, 2010 at 8:19 pm

Dude, calm down. Have another drink and moar butt secks.

ttommyunger December 17, 2010 at 8:32 pm

You do know I'm just jivin', right? Don't drink anymore, but the other is tempting…

PublicLuxury December 17, 2010 at 8:38 pm

Yeah, I know you're playing… me too. I still drink occasionally, but it's nothin' compared to. . . well, you know how it is when you're young and, and, and. . .

peace

Sassomatic December 17, 2010 at 9:47 am

Those people clearly meant to vote for Lizard People.

weejee December 17, 2010 at 9:54 am

Dear Alaskans,

Since yer # 2 in gun ownership per capita, is it time for lock and load?

Luv & kisses the other 49.

JustPixelz December 17, 2010 at 9:54 am

Too bad Senators are elected instead of appointed by state legislatures like in the olde days. Sarah's boyfriend would be wearing a Senate toga if it weren't for those pesky voters and the 17th Amendment. Thanks for ruining everything #17. Is it wrong to say the 17th Amendment hates America?

problemwithcaring December 17, 2010 at 9:58 am

It's just like whiny libtards to focus on the 20 guns, bombs and weapons that made it through the x-ray scanners and not the two that didn't.

And is Metro supposed to run these new, high tech scanners and computers and keep all the information confidential?? Because they are still trying to get a handle on 1979 escalator technology.

bagofmice December 17, 2010 at 11:01 am

To be fair, they have to work in the rain…

problemwithcaring December 17, 2010 at 12:46 pm

Yes. The bigger problem, though, is being unable to hire mechanics skilled enough to maintain the system.

Hey! I wonder if Metro has considered firing all of its senior employees and advertising job openings on the insides of pizza boxes, like the TSA?

charlesdegoal December 17, 2010 at 10:04 am

And that's not even counting Mexicans who won the war on drugs but then OD'd.

LionHeartSoyDog December 17, 2010 at 11:35 am

Or Murkan ODs.

trampndirtdown December 17, 2010 at 10:07 am

My own personal War on Drugs has been equally unsuccessful, possibly because of radical changes in strategy i.e. infiltration followed by carpet bombing and then trying the play dead strategy for a while. Maybe I should open another front, yeah I think I'll try that tonight. Geronimo.

LionHeartSoyDog December 17, 2010 at 11:40 am

Here's hoping you "live long enough to spit on Shrub's grave."!!!

transfatz December 18, 2010 at 12:34 am

Just say surrender.

arihaya December 17, 2010 at 10:20 am

Joe Miler was not working hard enough to court the donors of GOP.

He should have said to them that his victory would somehow reduce the tax for the riches.

V572625694 December 17, 2010 at 10:58 am

They hate lawyers the way they hate government: so much they want to be lawyers in elective office.

And poor loser Joe didn't make it. Awwww…

bagofmice December 17, 2010 at 10:59 am

Patting up AND down.

user-of-owls December 17, 2010 at 10:59 am

They should also appoint Billie Holiday as Secretary of State, Edith Piaf as Lieutenant-gouverneur and the Indian from the Village People as Director of Inuit Affairs.

Then change the state's motto to "It's Snowing Men" and watch those gay tourist dollars flow like Chardonnay.

nounverb911 December 17, 2010 at 11:07 am

BTW, has anyone ever seen Miller's birth certificate?

mereoblivion December 17, 2010 at 11:12 am

Murkowski just loaned Joe the money to buy a U.

elpinche December 17, 2010 at 11:16 am

You people don't understand how hard it is to return furniture at Crate and Barrel. I think it's worth a recount or two.

ttommyunger December 17, 2010 at 11:18 am

Joe who?

GOPCrusher December 17, 2010 at 3:57 pm

Isn't that one of the Tea Bagger rallying crys? Too many lawyers in the Congress, not enough ordinary people.

Rotundo_ December 17, 2010 at 4:41 pm

The Republican view of lawyers mirrors their view of shit: Their own is just fine, other peoples' particularly the poor folks' stink to high heaven.

Negropolis December 17, 2010 at 9:52 pm

That he has that name, and that accent (saw him on TV) that he was able to get the thing through the TSA is nothing short of amazing.

transfatz December 18, 2010 at 12:31 am

Maybe Alaska could have a separate series of elections for "Drama Queen" senate and presidency. There Sarah, Joe, problem solved.

mourningnmerica December 18, 2010 at 9:40 pm

I'm with Joe Miler on this one. Intent is evrything.

SorosBot December 17, 2010 at 10:37 am

Mommy and daddy.

bagofmice December 17, 2010 at 10:54 am

Do you KNOW how many strip clubs are in Portland?

horsedreamer_1 December 17, 2010 at 11:15 am

True. & that takes us back to the question "sugar-daddies?". Even if indie-punk strippers aren't turning tricks in the Champagne Room &/or away from the club, they might well be 'shaking down' — though, a consensual shake-down equals 'commerce'? — their regulars for cash beyond the trail of ones typically accruing to the stage dancer.

I have seen it happen, even in my podunk town.

horsedreamer_1 December 17, 2010 at 11:17 am

Given his prep-school pedigree & Royal Dutch Shell money (that being conjecture; I don't know that WB's daddy worked for Shell, but I have heard he is from suburban Houston (The Woodlands, where G. H. W. Bush lives?)), I have to assume Winfield Butler (say it with the poshest accent you can muster) is the CAPO of the Hipster Mafia.

jim89048 December 17, 2010 at 12:07 pm

Hence the irony.

ttommyunger December 17, 2010 at 8:43 pm

Oh, I remember, all right. Memories is about all I've got going for me.
