The Arrogance of Joe Miller (Updated With Blame)
You hear an awful lot from the Joe Miller campaign about Lisa Murkowski being “entitled” and acting like she’s owed the senate seat. It seems to bug them. And it bugs a lot of Alaskans.
These Tweets from Joe Miller were captured by a Murkowski supporter before Miller deleted them. Apparently, someone else had to point out that they revealed his own arrogance and sense of entitlement.
Alaskans still get to go to the ballot box before you pick out the drapes, Joe.
Do us all a favor. Click your heels together three times and go back to Kansas. Alaskans don’t need another arrogant, smug, entitled politician who’s in it to climb the ladder of their own ambition. We’ve had enough.
Today is the end of the quarter, and an important fundraising deadline. Joe Miller has spent the last few days in DC raising gobs of money from people who aren’t Alaskan, to further an agenda that isn’t Alaskan. Let’s keep this Palin-appointee out of Washington.
Donate to Scott McAdams HERE.
And blame someone else in 3… 2… 1…
UPDATE: For the second time Joe Miller has blamed a campaign worker for saying dumb stuff on his Twitter account and pretending to be him. First, it was calling Lisa Murkowski and/or the Libertarian Party whores, and now someone else was apparently house hunting, measuring the drapes, and prying Lisa Murkowski’s name plate off the door before voters have gone to the voting booth. The Associated Press reports:
Statements from Miller’s Twitter feed late Wednesday, when he was in Washington, D.C. fundraising, said he thinks he’ll “do some house hunting.” He also says he figures he should pick out office furniture and expressed appreciation for the welcome he’d received – including from those he called future colleagues.
The campaign of U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski labeled this “hubris.”
The tweets later disappeared. Miller spokesman Randy DeSoto said Thursday that they came from a volunteer who will no longer have access to the account. DeSoto said the tweets were deleted because the campaign considered them inappropriate.
I label that “jackassery.” I wonder if he’ll do any better picking people to run the show when he’s in D.C.? Good thing Alaskans get to vote on that first. Right, Joe?
Meanwhile, Scott McAdams had a tweet of his own in response to the aforementioned hubristic jackassery.
@JoeWMiller: While you’re in DC picking out office furniture, I’m in Anchorage introducing my plan to get Alaskans back to work.
He shoots, he scores!
More on McAdams’ jobs plan coming soon.
h/t@writeinlisa for capture
But do the drapes match the carpet?
What an arrogant twit, so glad the tweets were captured.
No, but they match the upholstery.
http://www.xkcd.com/508/
No, no. They match $arah’s stockings. Joe spends enough time groveling at her feet to KNOW their exact shade.
He deleted them!!!!
But they were captured for all to see. I wonder who’ll he blame for those tweets? Another staff member? Same staff member that forgot to send in the financial disclosure documents?
Yeah, that “staff member” sure does cause alot of problems! :- )
When my sister and I were little, there was an imaginary other kid in the house who used to get in all sorts of trouble. She broke stuff, jumped on the bed, we blamed her for everything. Some people never outgrow their imaginary friends. (Of course, some of us just trade them in in favor of gin).
Well… when they’re the only friends you have left….
“It was Sarah! We’d shared a couple of bottles of wine and one thing led to another…before I knew what was happening, she was tweeting all over me!”
…above quote from Joe Miller as he was being refused entry back into Alaska.
Yup, you called it! From the adn:
“The Miller campaign today blamed a volunteer for inappropriate posts on the candidate’s Twitter page, reports the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner.”
I wonder if this is the same staff member who called Murky a prostitute?
AKM- I almost always agree with most of what you say
but MERELY arrogant???
“Supremely arrogant” isn’t even big enough to cover this …
AGH!
I’m having a deja vu moment.
Cart, meet horse.
Better do a little more “Gladhanding” while you’re in D.C. Joe, also, too, Joe. Because it looks like you’re going to be in need of a job come November.
I am really hoping that he has to file for unemployment insurance. What a creep. Carpetbagger. No Alaskan in their right mind would vote for this fraud.
Car Wreck Joe
Farmer Joe
Hypocrite Joe
Sloppy Joe (this one bugs me, the kids make some great homemade Sloppy Joe)
Entitled Joe
Arrogant Joe
Kansas Joe is a idiot.
Welfare Joe
Don’t forget G.I. Joe
How about No Joe.
Carpetbagger Joe
Joe the Putz.
Faux Joe
Foe Joe
NO MO’ JOE! YO!
In my house, you don’t get sloppy joe’s, you get Messy Mary’s! LOL
“Say it Ain’t So” Joe
APRN just quoted Sloppy Joe as saying his failure to disclose is not important in the campaign. So, along with Senator, he apparently has now ascended to judge and jury as well. Don’t bother your pretty little heads. . . .
Joe, you’re not in Kansas anymore.
I wonder why Joe didn’t move back home after law school to start his political career?
Could it be that the likes of Brownback & co. were to radical for him?
Ooops let me rephrase:
“Could it be that the likes of Brownback & co. were too LIBERAL for him?”
I’m not from Alaska but have been following this race. I can’t believe the Murkowski campaign hasn’t come up with a “Write my name on your palm” commercial.
I tweeted your suggestion to @LisaMurkowski
Oh my…Palin with a beard, does he have a bus to throw people under?
No bus. Arianna has them all tied up for the sanity rally.
He needs to release his military records. Just like everyone else does. He’s a fraud.
Does he have to release his financial disclosure forms before the election or can he just pay the $50,000 and never turn them in? He will have plenty of tea bag money to pay the fine and just may not want to turn in the forms (maybe something to hide?) Anyone know?
I don’t think it’s an option, pay the fine or disclose, I think it would be both.
Yes, he can put it off until after the election and then just pay his $50,000.00. There isn’t really a mechanism for anything else in the Senate Ethics Committee.
Note: Is it obvious that Van Flein is his attorney?
The only solution — not to allow him to win the election.
Gadfree, does he smack of sister Sarah!
I think the Koch family intended to pay the fine all along.
How about the banner he had up in the San Diego fundraiser that said “Joe Miller AK Senator” ? Let’s not forget that one. Gryphen had a post of that.
I’m sure that when Joe Miller is defeated by Scott McAdams, the new Democratic senator-to-be from the great state of Alaska, there will be a job waiting for him at Koch Industries. He probably won’t even have to move; there’s so much resource extraction just waiting to take place in his adopted state!
I don’t want to send Joe Miller back to Kansas. I want to send him back under the rock he crawled out from under.
Scott McAdams for Senator!
Right on and a lot of others can join him there
He may be able to pay the fine for now. But he will have to show documents eventually. Just as Sistah Sarah had to transparent.
WOW. As my dad would say, if he were still around to say it, that guy’s one arrogant SOB.
What he would say is far nicer than what I’d like to say. Man.
So Joe is back in DC collecting more money and measuring for drapes. I get the feeling that Joe isn’t interested in Alaska. He just want a platform for national recognition. Alaska will only see him when he needs her votes if she is stupid enough to elect him.
Defeat this aggorant con man ..Miller..McAdams is the one who should represent Alaska..a person without
ties to any of the big lobby interests..a person who knows Alaska and Alaskans. While Lisa would have
somewhat more clout in the drilling situations..McAdams would make the better solutions for this ..as to
no gulf oil spills again..he would see that the necessary situations were put in..Lisa ? I do not like if it
is true that Lisa seemed to flip flop on how she actually voted on some important issues..ie the new health
care reform bill..when Miller became more popular..certainly Alaska needs something in new healthcare
reform for their senior citizens that are not well heeled. There are Alaskan doctors who say this as well.
Saw those tweets come through on my twitter last night and my jaw just dropped. I actually double checked to make sure it wasn’t another Joe Miller parody tweeter. Ah. . . .after midnight in Washington DC. . .judgement fails, I guess. We have confirmed another similarity between Joe and Sarah. . .inability to tweet responsibly when unsupervised. Lately, I keep getting mixed up with Miller’s real twitter and the JoeMillerBeard twitter because the fake one sounds like a grown up more often than Miller himself.
I know, it’s almost like Miller gave his Twitter account keys to $arah and told her to go hog wild.
After midnight, indeed! Drinking (or worse) & Tweeting don’t mix.
Yeah, the first thing I thought was…”Oh Lord, another politician who has a drinking/tweeting problem!”
Twinking?
Seems to me the AK and the rest of the USA do not need another Lisa/Miller in the Senate to vote with the Party of No.
You are 100% correct. I sure as hell hope Scott is the winner as we so badly need him.
Clearly Joe (the jack as*) is only interested in himself and what he can get for himself. Sure is acting like another rather celebrity like Alaskan Politician who quit to cash in her chips.
WC’s spouse was reading these tweets to WC last night, and WC thought His Arrogance’s twitter account had been hacked. WC’s mistake. Miller truly is that arrogant.
You mean he can’t shop on Alaska dime YET? How unfair. We need to get him a T-Shirt that says
“I moved to Alaska and all I got was this stupid $5. hunting license.”
LOL LOL LOL LOL!!!!
That is funny.
Hahahaa…
After midnight?
Drink much Joe?
Joe was probably spilling out of his own shoes.
Even more telling are the quotes from Eisenhower.
This guy is exactly the kind of person Eisenhower would despise.
Oh, and today, he was heard on public radio to say, “Those financial disclosure forms–they’re irrelevant to the campaign.”
Joke probably believes Alaska is irrevelant to the campaign.
Where I grew up, we had a tiny island and a bright orange parka for those who’s head got a little to big for their work ethic.
Being a responsible citizen who follows the rules for campaigning, that most certainly is relevant.
Joe Miller is still a Kochsucker. Gawd that makes me laugh. He’s also a pompous a$$. Irrelevant to the campaign? Miller, we all want to see your financial documents, what do you have to hide?
Kochsucker, very good phrase, I will steal…..
He is very sure of himself!
It’s the main trait of a full blown narcissist. He ain’t gonna use My Alaska to feed his personality disorder!
Both Palin and now Miller… tweeleting like their lives depended on it. I tell you, I should be making money off them.
LOL….tweeleting…oh my.
http://tinyurl.com/32wo23w Bubs, I made up that word and got it into the urban dictionary a while ago, when Palin tweeleted the one about her daughter looking “ravaging”.
Quoting Eisenhower? EISENHOWER??? Allow me to quote a bit of the General from 1954, “Should any political party attempt to abolish social security, unemployment insurance and eliminate labor laws and farm programs, you would not hear of that party again in our political history. There is a tiny splinter group, of course, that believes that you can do these things. Among them are a few Texas oil millionaires, and an occasional politician or businessman from other areas. Their number is negligible and they are stupid.”
lol I guess Joe the Grifter didn’t read that quote.
Looked it up & bookmarked it. Great quote, KSC!
Someone should email that to Joe, AFTER confirming the quotes were tweeted by the twit himself. LOL
Sounds like Joe has cabin fever or too much Appalachian moonshine.
While trying to sleep last night, I was thinking about Miller and his sense of entitlement. I hope that Alaskans are communicating his lack of caring to those in the Bush who might otherwise vote for him if they don’t get the daily info that we are privy to through our computers.
It is very important for the Bush to know that Scott McAdam will be the best representative for them, not another GOP operative.
With the inherent issues of getting information to all Alaskans no matter where they are, I hope that the McAdam campaign is working hard to get the word out to all – and that other Alaskans are also ensuring that the lack of caring for anyone other than himself is at the heart of Joe Miller’s desire to be the next Alaskan senator. Alaskans will rue the day he gets elected if they allow this to happen.
My thoughts are with you all in this election. You have suffered from earlier choices; I sure hope this time eyes are wide open and good choices are being made. Best of luck!
WGE was acting all arrogant and indignant the other day as well on Twitter.
Whining about Rouse and his record and him not REALLY being an Alaskan..his voice doesn’t count when voting ( in AK )
According to the FDL story… Rouse is in as WH Chief of Staff ( confirmed )
Rouse will get to speak personally to the President … EVERY day.
Will this make her head spin clear off? ( here come the Tweets)
http://firedoglake.com/2010/09/30/breaking-rahms-resignation-confirmed-rouse-to-be-acting-chief-of-staff/
Very happy about Rouse. I think that the President could use an insider at this point, in dealing with the obstructionists.
And, BONUS….it makes miss wasilla more paranoid than she usually is since she thinks Rouse is behind Obamas plots against her….LOL…….
I pointed out to @sarahpalinusa that the ADN…you know, that Alaska media…did a fairly comprehensive story on Rouse not long ago:
http://www.adn.com/2009/02/21/698296/senior-obama-adviser-has-alaska.html
Typical Twit behavior – claiming she is a rill Alaskan and no way, no how is another Alaskan going to have the ear of the Pres because the “WORLD BELONGS TO ME, MY LITTLE MONKEYS – ME ONLY AND YES ALASKA IS MINE, TOO AND NO ONE ELSE CAN HAVE ANY OF IT SO THERE, I’M GOD’S OWN WARRIOR AND HE ANOINTED ME WHILE REFUDIATING THAT CINOS (CHRISTIAN IN NAME ONLY) HAVE NO CHANCE TO RULE THE WORLD LIKE I AM PLANNING TO, ALSO, TOO!”
….an’ forsooth and whatnot too. also you betcha….LOL.
Isn’t she from Idaho originally? (Not that there’s anything wrong with that; I’ve known wonderful people from that beautiful state.) Why does she get to decide who is or is not a “rill” Alaskan, a “rill” American, a “rill” Christian, etc.?
I guess what I’m asking is, when did God die and put *her* in charge?
Here’s $arah’s Tweetdignation (about Rouse) from the 27th. beth.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Alaska media slept on the job for how many years re: Obama senior advisor Pete Rouse’s claim to be AK resident and “local” voter? For shame.
11:04 PM Sep 27th via Twitter for BlackBerry®
What would the Twit know about shame? Not a damm thing. There she goes – usin’ those big words again she has no knowledge of!
Is Joe Miller as ‘ obsessed with Eisenhower as WGE is with Reagan..?
Or did he just borrow Her book of quotes for these. I hope he doesn’t try to say Eisenhower attended Eureka College in CA as well. ( ahhh.. what memories )
And Jo(k)e… are you still stuck and living 40 years in the past..? Time to grow up.. move forward.
And don’t use Twitter if you want to LIVE like it was the 50′s. They didn’t have Twitter then.
You literally had to put your own Shoe in your mouth back then. It was tough. Open Wiiiiiiddde.
AKM, Huff Post picked up your story. “Joe Miller Tweets His Chickens Before They Hatch.” Very funny title!
And if Jo(k)e is looking for housing near Wash….. why doesn’t he stop by Cristine McDonells place.
I hear she could use some help paying the rent… He might even get a room there.
help a fellow krazzzy Tea Bagger out, also too.
And since COD looks so much like WGE… he can pretend He is actually living with His mentor, the Quitter Gov. It can be like a creepy T-Bag 3 -some. Him, COD and WGE.
…sigh I don’t even have to pay a ..Cover Charge..to get into this happinin place! Life is good Mudpups..and thanking you all kindly.
It makes you wonder if Joe Miller has a staff infection.
Now that was funny!
Thanks, hopefully I didn’t gross out too many people with that one!
Made me laugh and laugh…
Been needing some laughs
Very healing… laughing is
True dat!
So do we get to know what staffer is looking for housing back in DC?
This is getting entertaining. Like Joe should really step up the laughable factor and hire the Worst Govenor Ever to manage Joe’s tweet account.
At this point my household is in full laugh mode about the carpetbagger.
The guy just can’t stop talking. Like how many more screw ups can he dial up before election day?
Gave to McAdams at Act Blue yesterday.
We need Dims in the seat in the Senate no matter what state they come from.
Thanks for the post. Great capture. Really Joe? He’s probably just overly anxious to get out of BFE.
Joe “Carpet Bagger” Miller: http://img267.imageshack.us/i/carpetbaggermiller.jpg/
Miller…1st Class ASS….
One word to describe Scott McAdams’ response…”SNAP!”
I’m just shocked that Miller seems to be content to merely proclaim himself as Senator before the election. As long as he’s decided to claim the victory before the first vote has been cast, why not go whole hog and declare himself to be Emperor instead?
Is there something about Alaskan Politics that the rest of the world doesn’t know… like.. has the system been rigged ??? for someone who got…25k? votes in a primary election to be so assured as to pick out furniture, and attend DC fundraisers .. what does he know that the rest of us don’t ? Are there those infamous Diebold Election machines in Alaska ? It’s already been established that they can be programmed to give out the results desired …. Who’s watching the the election department ??
I can confirm that yes, the state currently uses some Diebold machines (shudder). And as much as I’d like to think something hinky was going on with respect to Joe Miller scooting in, I think it really was just a result of very low voter turnout coupled with a hot button ballot measure that brought out the crazies in droves. That and Lisa’s lethargic and presumptuous campaign. When voting numbers are so low strange things can happen.
“Jackassery” indeed. A nice coinage, although unfortunately applicable only to males; “jenny-assery” just doesn’t cut it. Anyway, that put me over the top, and I just sent a donation to Scott McAdams.
Would that make $arah a Jenny-Ass? (Okay, I had to look that one up lol).
Whoops, sorry Chaim. Didn’t see you already got the female version of Jack Ass covered. My bad!
How odd that Joe Miller is fond of quoting Ike. Does anyone doubt that President Eisenhower would denounce Miller for the paranoid right-wing mountebank he is?
The latest Miller..no response..none..given about the native Alaskan contract situations…all the rest of
the political people gave an immediate response…Miller is to busy picking out his drapes.. probably..
Miller also just said ..the federal government cannot establish any..key word..any minimum wage…
only a state can decide this…ie when the federal government decides a minimum wage..this in no way
stops any state from the ability to have a higher wage…all the federal does is establish a minimum wage.
This Miller is simply not crediable in any way..nor is Angle..Palin..Bachmann..or O Donnell…
elect McAdams…. a person that makes sense.
