This is too funny.
I’ve critiqued Princess Lisa Murkowski plenty, as have many Alaska Republicans. Our senior Senator, who claims to be a Republican, has consistently been a challenge for Republican leadership in the Senate. Alaska’s controversial ranked-choice voting system, heavily financed by outsiders, was implemented to secure her position.
Now, it appears a new development has occurred: Murkowski has written a memoir, which seems like an unnecessary misstep. As anticipated, Must Read Alaska’s Suzanne Downing provides the scoop.
The memoir, which delves into her political journey and personal experiences beyond Alaska, has received an average rating of three out of five stars from 46 reviewers. Feedback ranges widely, from high praise to harsh criticism, underscoring Murkowski’s divisive nature.
For every admirer hailing Murkowski as a principled moderate standing firm in chaotic times, there are two others slamming the book as a self-serving vanity project from a senator who long ago lost touch with her state.
I have yet to meet an Alaska Republican who thinks Princess Lisa is a “principled moderate,” although there almost certainly are some, given Senator Murkowski’s re-election successes, even before ranked-choice voting was foisted on us. But the reviews of her book include some real gems.
As of this writing, Princess Lisa’s book has a 46 percent one-star rating on Amazon, leading a 41 percent 5-star rating (probably from Democrats). Here are a couple of samples of reader reviews:
The problem is, Princess Lisa’s career has been anything but forgettable. Even if we manage to junk the idiotic ranked-choice voting scheme and then retire Senator Murkowski in 2028, she will haunt the nightmares of Alaska Republicans for a generation to come.
I’m reminded of the old saying about what one finds in the “middle of the road”: Yellow stripes and dead skunks. And the funny thing is, this review looks to have been written by a Democrat, probably still peeved by Princess Lisa’s vote to pass the One Big Beautiful Bill. I mean, if Princess Lisa has lost the Democrats…
I couldn’t possibly have said that any better myself.
