Here's 2 screen grabs of the misspelled Murkowski web ad that has now been "removed by the user" on YouTube...Before it was removed the horrible ad had a teacher showing what looked like 3rd graders how to write-in Murkowski's name

[Talkradio03]

Similar to the Martha Coakley misspelling Massachusetts

[dalebert]

maybe she will remove herself

[Talkradio03]

The ad was removed 45 minutes after appearing on hotair.com

[earlJam]

This would be a two week story if it was Sarah Palin.

[Talkradio03]

agreed...

Palin would never hear the end of it

It’s not illegal to spell a name wrong on u-tube.

Some of you u-tubers catch my drift. Nothing like a little mischief to help Lisa along.

I don’t have the skills to do it. I’m sure someone here does.

Wouldn’t a misspelled word cause it to be thrown out?

Too bad it was caught, in that case.

[RitaOK]

The error was in the campaign logo, at the bottom of the ad that left out a letter in her name. The ad itself was laughably insulting to an adult voting audience, using 4th graders being told how to write her name in block print.
Geez, is she wasting her 1,000,000.00 on consultants who have bilked her but good.

[Mobties]

I guess that's what Senator Kowalski thinks of her voters. Or is it Tchaikovsky? or maybe Kluszewski?

Maybe we should all refer to her as Sun Tzu, author of the classic “Art of War” epigrams “If your opponent is of choleric temperment, seek to irritate him [or her].”

In any case, there's enough comic (and irritation) potential to keep the late night comics and disapproving straight news people rolling until election day.

Write in? Write on!

[TribalPrincess2U]

Not surprising. Some day kids will forget how to spell, add or write, maybe even talking will go extinct. They’ll grow funny looking fingers, too.

Quality in advertising doesn’t exist anymore. Correct spelling is not a big deal
to kids nowadays.

I must admit I misspell when I get in a hurry.

[gov_bean_ counter]

Any early polling since Murkey jumped back in???

[RitaOK]

You were right that a write-in ballot will be tossed when misspelled.

The chuckle was centered on the 4th grade kids elementary
“spelling lesson” as the context of the ad, and then her campaign itself screws up in, of all things, spelling! These are adults, highly paid, to avoid mistakes, and at least proof read.

[roses of sharon]

I don’t get it...is this a joke?

The black and white ad is a serious one?

I have never seen anything so awful, seriously, from a former US Senator??

[hosepipe]

Everybody out of the way.. let Lisa dig her hole..
Pass the beer and cigars.. this is prime entertainment..
Everybody in Alaska is laughing at her..

[RichInOC]

And I thought Ricky Hollywood was the only Alaska candidate about which I could say he runs and hilarity ensues.

Awesome.

[Oztrich Boy]

Remember Alaska write-in voters: it’s “L-i-z-a M-i-n-n-e-l-l-i”

[RitaOK]

Embarrassing that it was viral and who knows how they were informed of the thud it made when it hit the air. Taken down awhile ago, surely it will be permanently shelved.

[TOneocon]

AWESOME!!!

It’s not illegal to spell a name wrong on u-tube.

Some people might wish it were.
