The horrors of the
modern campaign.
Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) wants her Democratic Senate colleague Mark Begich (D-AK) to withdraw a television ad that shows the pair smiling together and talks up their aligned voting records, The Hill reported Thursday. [...]
According to The Hill, Murkowski's lawyers sent a cease-and-desist letter Thursday to Begich, demanding the ad be taken down. The ad, called "Great Team," shows an image of Begich and Murkowski smiling side by side, and the narrator says that the two vote together "as much as 80 percent of the time."
Suggesting that Sen. Lisa Murkowski might be tolerable to be around? That she was once in the same room as Sen. Begich but did not have a tea party-approved frown on her face? That Republicans and Democrats might still agree to rename the same post offices? Them's fightin' words. We can only hope this slander upon her person does not stand.
