Oh Alaska, you endless endless font on political WTF stories!!!
First is Palin, who's been erroneously compared to Bill Clinton (governor of a small, rural state rises to highest land in office) a number of times. I have a feeling Palin doesn't even know what a Rhodes Scholar is, never mind was ever eligible to be one. Her and her pretty clothes and half up 'do beehive have been makin' quite the rounds out here in blogland.
Then there was Alaska Senator Ted Steven, a felon convicted seven times of bridery related charges, right before the election.
And, here, my friends, I give you the icing (or frosting as we say around here) on the WTF cake (from the Anchorage Daily News):
Yeah. 30% of the votes have not yet been counted in Alaska. WTF???? No wonder the convicted felon IS CURRENTLY IN THE LEAD.
roughly 30 percent of the ballots [remain] to be counted, including:
Husband Nate Silver has done some seriously nerdy work (no surprise there) and predicts the election outcome will turn in favor of the non-criminal candidate, Anchorage mayor, Democrat Mark Begich. That Nate Silver. He's so geek chic. He should make a holiday calendar of him with charts and graphs and those super nerd glasses on like every month. I'd buy that calendar for sure. Maybe that will be in my next open letter to him. Though I think I might give up soon, since he never writes back. I mean, he can't take a second out of his day to write back to his freakish Delores Claiborne like NUMBER ONE FAN. Just a moment in between the NPR commentary, the MSNBC appearance, the press interviews, the data analysis, the blog writing, and the 3-4 hours of sleep, he hasn't once taken the time to write back. Even after those awesome blingees I made of him. Whatev.
