7. frivolous lawsuit to fight a fight that has been over since his ass was handed to him

quit being such a punk and concede. You didn't win. She out-smarted you and side stepped you. You dont' get to go to Washington and be a buffoon. you get to stay in Alaska a be a buffoon.

While I don't like or support Murkowski, the fact of the matter is she has won that election fair and square. Be's that way sometimes.
