Gee, that only took, what, forever?

(CNN) – Alaska’s governor on Thursday certified Sen. Lisa Murkowski’s re-election in November as a write-in candidate, clearing the way for Murkowski to be sworn in on time for the new congressional session that starts next week.

But that won’t stop Joe Miller from continuing to make an ass of himself:

Miller said he was disappointed with the ruling, adding that he still believed his challenge was on solid constitutional ground.

“Thus, we are evaluating the ruling and determining what our next step should be,” Miller said Tuesday.

Had Miller been elected, there would have been one less vote for the DREAM Act, the repeal of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell, and… well, here’s the list:

This month, Murkowski earned the distinction of being the only Republican to vote for all four pieces of controversial legislation backed by President Obama: the DREAM Act, the tax-cut compromise, the repeal of “don’t ask, don’t tell,” and the START arms-control agreement.

Murkowski is still a Republican, but she seems to feel less of a necessity to follow in lock step with a party leadership that largely abandoned her.

The GOP has abandoned a lot of Americans. When will those voting against their own self interests realize that?

    The American media have become experts at brainwashing, thus making the voter more confused about why they are angry.

    Voter confusion certainly did pay off as is clearly demonstrated by the nitwits that the electorate are sending to Washington this very moment to represent them. As long as there are free bus ride, coffee and donuts for these “sheople” the Masters of the Universe will keep on winning using the simple tactic of keeping the masses fighting among themselves.

    Since Scalia ordered lawyers never to cite his crowning of Emperor Bush as legal precedent, I would love to see Miller get his case before the Supremes, because Miller cites Bush v. Gore.

    I want to see how the Supremes handle, as Supreme precedent, a decision that was so bogus even they recognize is not legal and should never be cited as precedent.

    Murkowski is a canny pol…apparently (and for now) much closer to the real Republicans of old…
