The only relevant matters in this father-daughter appointment are, Has Lisa ever kicked a black dog, broken a yellow crayon, wrapped her head in a towel after taking a shower, burned a stick in a fire, exhaled, or been in a gasoline-powered car?

Not a low standard at all. The House Majority Leader, of a statehouse is a perfectly suitable appointee to the US Senate.
If her Last name was anything BUT Murkowski, and her qquals were the same, we would not be having this discussion, is all I am saying.

What does she look like?

By the way, I hear that if Hillary decides to run for president, she's going to arrange for Chelsea to represent New York. This would be funnier if she was old enough to be a senator when (not if -- ha ha!) Hillary! runs for Prez.

What does she look like? Yeah, I thought the same thing when that 'towel wrapped around her head after shower' comment came out. If her towel's on her head, what's she wearing???!!! :P

Actually, in Alaska, most swing voters will like Lisa Murkowski. As a State Representative she authored the law establishing the Joint Armed Services Committee and was slated to be the next Chair. Very popular with service men and women, important in Alaska.

If her Last name was anything BUT Murkowski, and her qquals were the same, we would not be having this discussion, is all I am saying. And if my aunt was red and had 4 wheels, she'd be a wagon. I believe Caesar's wife should be above reproach. Look at NJ, Torricelli drops out, Lautenberg slips in -- Republicans scream up and down that it's not OK. Well, the court said it was OK and the voters said it was OK. Question: do you think it was OK? I do not.
Lisa may be a fine and deserving choice. But being appointed a senator by your father is an non-standard occurence in this country and I wish it had not happened. It makes it hard (IMO) to point to the Democrats and say that they always pollute the political process.
To: Fred Mertz
No idea.
To: All
If she is pro-abortion, she IS the wrong choice, by default. I knew that appointing his daughter was a gross error in judgment. Hopefully, a pro-life challenger will knock her off in 2004.....

The Constitution is a living document and any stated age requirements that are in the document are vestiges of the 18th century. They can be finnagled. Chelsea is ready to serve at a moments notice.
To: Fred Mertz
I agree with you, Fred. Let's get the important info first.
LOL!

I am sure she is a fine person, but nepotism in a public corporation is one of the worst things. Alaska is now a Banana Republic in fact.
To: dirtboy
Couldn't daddy have bought her a pony instead?

In this case Ceasers wife IS above reproach, she is the Leader of the Majority Party in the Statehouse.
The Torch-louse comparison is a false one. The screaming was over the fact that they Broke the law to do it. Had it occured 52 days out, it would have sucked, but you can only ask that everyone play by the rules.

What a way to blow a Senate race...I can just see the RAT ads now..."Send King Frank and Princess Lisa a message"...
To: RightWhale
So, the Fact that She is Majority Leader in Alaska, and a three time electee, has no sway with you ?

Does nobody read articles before posting anymore?
Lisa Murkowski says she supports legal abortion only when a mother's life is in danger or in cases of rape or incest.
To: Malcolm
Example #5243 of this "Two-Party Cartel". Brings up mentioning the old saying, If you vote really counted would this oligarchy allow such.
