Murkowski tosses cold water on Palin comeback
Seattle PI ^ | 5/23/13 | Seattle PI

Posted on 05/23/2013 12:11:45 PM PDT by illiac

The streams emerging from beneath an Arctic glacier are several degrees warmer than the icy water Alaska’s Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski has tossed on a Tea Party group’s effort to draft former Gov. Sarah Palin as a U.S. Senate candidate in 2014.

Reviving one of Alaska’s great political feuds, Murkowski told The Hill newspaper in Washington, D.C.:

“I think there are a lot of outside interests that would like to see Sarah Palin in some form of elected office. Most in Alaska recognize our former governor is rally not involved in or engaged in the state anymore, that she’s moved to other interests. In order to represent the state, you’ve got to be in the state.”

Lisa Murkowski had better be careful. Barracudas thrive in cold water.

LOL...I think that pic must be the Murk, after someone tossed cold water on her.

She's melting....melting.

She’s lived in AK a heck of a lot longer than Hillary ever lived on NY, am I right?

Murkowski thinking she has any credibility left....

Don't worry -- she's going to wind up under that glacier, like "Otzi" the Ice Man.

For about the same length of time.

Take a deep breath, Senator.

She’s been living in Arizona for a couple years, hasn’t she?

As a FRiend noted above, the Palins are still citizens of Alaska (which entitles them to participate in the royalty-fund payouts, which are neato); but it would be sweet if Sarah took McPain's seat away from him.

Just thinking out loud.

And what is she and Todd doing today?

The Armed Services WMCA Alaska Combat Fishing Tournament is taking place today in Seward, Alaska. Some of you may have heard about this organization because Todd and his operative J.W. Cortes raised money for it on the show “Stars Earn Stripes.” The Combat Fishing Tournament is a wonderful way to pay tribute to our vets who served in Iraq and Afghanistan. It’s the largest military appreciation fishing tournament in the country, and many of the local Alaskan fishing vessels volunteer to help put this on every year. We're so honored to be involved with this. We appreciate Armed Services YMCA and all the volunteers who make this event happen. If you’d like to donate or learn more about the event, you can visit their website at:

What the Murk doesn’t want people to think about is
that you don’t have to hold political office to
RUN for the office of President.

Run Sarah RUN!

Yep! Noticed that too.. The weirdly inbred features, abnormally high cheekbones, the creepily beady eyes...
