Joe Miller, Senate nominee (R) AK, said he was drawing a line in the sand and would not discuss his personal life or ex employment after being asked some awkward question about his previous employment as attorney for the Fairbanks North Star Borough.
Jim Whitaker, who was borough mayor from 2003 through 2009, has decided that the people of Alaska deserve to know the truth.
Mr. Whitaker has gone on record to tell what he knows and I don't think Joe is going to like it. So far "no comment" from the Miller camp.

Former mayor: Alaska Senate candidate Miller 'not truthful' about borough employment
"I’m speaking now because this occurred on my watch as mayor, because I know the truth, and because I have an obligation to tell the truth," Whitaker said in an interview with the Daily News-Miner.
He said that, as a former mayor, he would prefer not to be involved in "the political melee."
"I also felt it was appropriate to give Mr. Miller enough time to come forward himself," Whitaker said. "It’s clear with his statements of the other day, he’s not going to do that. Referring to the truth as innuendo and lies is not truthful."

Whitaker, a former Republican state legislator, said Miller got in trouble in March 2008 for misusing borough computers. Miller was the Interior regional chairman of the Republican Party at the time and, along with then-Gov. Sarah Palin, was trying have Randy Ruedrich replaced as party chair at the annual GOP convention. Whitaker said he was informed at the time by his chief of staff, the borough attorney and the personnel director of what happened.
"What I was informed of at the time was that there were several borough computers that were used to send what they thought were proxy votes for the purpose of voting on the ouster of Randy Ruedrich at the Republican convention," Whitaker said.
Whitaker said the borough employees whose computers Miller used didn't know he was doing so. He said one of them "informed the acting borough attorney that something was amiss with her computer." He said borough technicians investigated and found that the computers had been used to send information to the Republican Party.
I think this qualifies as Crap Meet Fan, What do you think?
Please, please send some love to Scott McAdams, the best man for Alaska.
