Today's Anchorage Press:
Who's your daddy?
Lisa loyalists might be annoyed if they check out www.cafepress.com. Type in "Murkowski" and they'll find T-shirts, camisoles, thongs, lunch boxes and other products that say "Nepotism Poster Kid." There are two other anti-Lisa logos and slogans to choose from. Of course, the nepotism refers to Governor Frank Murkowski's bold decision to appoint his daughter, Lisa, to finish his term as U.S. Senator. Now Lisa is running for (re)election against former Governor Tony Knowles, a Democrat.
Caf?ppress is a print-on-demand company that helps people put their art and messages on items sold online. The anti-Princess publisher behind the anti-Lisa slogans is Bob Brigham. Even though he lives in Redwood City, California, he says he cares about who represents Alaska in the U.S. Senate, adding that he thinks nepotism is "antithetical to the American dream." In an email, Brigham said sales have been "brisk."
"More people are wearing these T-shirts than have been given a Senate seat by their daddy," Brigham said.
