Joe Miller may have been extremely hesitant to endorse Sarah Palin for President, but he DID endorse her for Vice President back in 2008. So take THAT Todd!

"I did endorse her before I didn't endorse her."

This love letter to Sarah Palin from Joseph Miller, Esq comes to us courtesy of the Catholic News Agency, and it was posted on September 11, 2008. (What is it about 9-11 and these people?)

Essentially it strokes her ego with a velvet glove by praising her for her "mavericky" approach to governing Alaska.

Sarah’s entry onto the scene was out-of-the box, to put it mildly. She displaced former U.S. Senator Frank Murkowski from the Governor’s mansion and immediately set out to reverse years of preferential oil company policies. She rejected the oil companies’ gas pipeline plan in favor of an open, competitive process that resulted in the first concrete steps to significant gas production in Alaska. When one of the oil companies failed to develop a gas and oil lease that it had held for decades, she began forfeiture proceedings against it.

Of course as we all know, and Joe McGinniss brilliantly pointed out in his 2009 article "Pipe Dreams," Palin's "out-of-the-box" approach to building the gas pipeline was ultimately doomed.  But that detail hardly mattered because Miller was endorsing her for a job that would take her far, far away from Prudhoe Bay, Alaskan energy concerns,  and our frigid political landscape.

Miller then goes on to blow wind up Sarah's skirt, and throw undeserved accolades her way, but it is the final paragraph of this article which earned it a place here on IM.

So what about the people who know her, her constituents? Unlike the disgruntled political adversaries and oil company lobbyists, real Alaskans from all political stripes endorse her with a resounding 80% approval rating, the highest of any governor nationwide. Why? Because they know she’ll never sell out. Pundits concerned about her advancement to the Oval Office should take some comfort in that.

When you can finally climb back up onto your chair after rolling around laughing on the floor, and have wiped the tears from your eyes, you might want to go ahead and give yourself a little pat on the back if you were one of the millions of people who knew immediately that Sarah Palin was unfit for any national office.  Because that realization makes you much, much smarter than the idiot that is currently attempting to win one of Alaska's open Senate seats.

And there you have another example of just HOW Joe Miller became Sarah Palin's "butt-boy."  Although one who STILL just cannot bring himself to wholeheartedly endorse her for President.

As Todd Palin would say, "Bad butt-boy, bad!"
