The Perilous Snits of Princess Lisa

A funny dispute going on with entitled Princess Lisa of Naboo. Slublog covered this earlier, but I wanted to include the ads, too.

First, this ad, which doesn't have anything to do with the dispute, but which is pretty hilarious:

Then this one, from the Tea Party Express, hitting similar notes:

So, of course, to prove she's not an entitled, pampered, hissy-fitting little nepot, she screams about the last ad (at Hot Air).

U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski’s campaign is warning Alaska broadcasters not to air ads by a national tea party group that the campaign says are “littered with lies and intentional mischaracterizations” about her and her write-in campaign.

Attorney Timothy McKeever, in a letter to broadcasters Monday, said they are under a “legal and moral obligation” not to air the new ads from Tea Party Express, which is supporting Joe Miller, the political upstart who defeated Murkowski in the August GOP primary…

At issue is an ad the group unveiled Monday, entitled “Arrogant Lisa Murkowski — You Lost!” It seeks to paint Murkowski as more interested in political self-preservation than in serving the interests of Alaskans. It also claims she didn’t “earn” her Senate seat and that she “tried to manipulate the Libertarian party into giving her their slot” on the ballot — claims McKeever called “materially false.

Allah runs down how drama-queen stupid this all is, and also has the Tea Party Express "apologizing" for its "mistake." Which is that they are sorry they didn't have more time to include the other ways in which Princess Lisa is a spoiled little prat.

There is nothing false here. Nothing even below the belt, considering politics ain't beanbag. She is doing nothing but whine and scream and stamp her feet, which only confirms the central message of the ads.
