The Alaska Republican senator who is unwelcome in most Alaska Republican circles and who makes it her daily mission to verbally oppose President Donald Trump has written a book on bipartisanship.
The book by Sen. Lisa Murkowski is titled, “Far From Home – An Alaskan senator faces the extreme climate of Washington, D.C.”
“A voice of reason in a polarized U.S. Senate, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska tells the story of how she learned to adapt to the harsh climate of Washington, D.C., and issues a fervent appeal for a politics grounded in compromise and compassion,” says Penguin Random House, the publisher, in the online promotion.
“Lisa Murkowski has repeatedly stood at the center of our nation’s most challenging issues, serving as a swing vote and a voice willing to challenge the president, regardless of who holds the office. In this candid memoir that offers hope for a functional Washington, she guides readers through the defining events of her more than twenty-year career: her beginnings in Alaska and appointment to the U.S. Senate, the rise of the Tea Party and her historic 2010 write-in reelection campaign, and the pivotal events of the Trump era, including her vote against Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation to the U.S. Supreme Court, the 2020 election, January 6, the impeachment trials, the overturning of Roe, and Trump’s second election,” the publisher says.
“Written at a time when Americans’ trust in their institutions is in crisis, Far from Home is a candid account of how things get done in Washington. It is an uplifting narrative for anyone seeking reassurance that our political system can,” the publisher says.
It’s safe to say that the book was authored by longtime Murkowski ally Charles Wohlforth, who served on the Anchorage Assembly and wrote a column for the Anchorage Daily News before moving to New Jersey. He is the author of several books, including “as told to” biographies. His work appears in liberal publications such as “The Daily Beast” and the “New Republic.” Wohlforth appears as a cowriter on the book cover.
Murkowski has become increasingly visible on the national stage, appearing at events sponsored by the “No Labels Party,” and granting interviews to leftist national media. The upcoming memoir raises the question that some have asked: Is the 67-year-old (68 in May) senator planning to run for president in four years? Or is this her swan song?
Lisa Murkowski is a national embarrassment If she wants to further humiliate herself Alaskans can only reflect on why she became Senator for woke Alaskans in the first place.
Who’s your daddy, Lisa?
Her memoir will make an excellent supply of fancy toilet paper
If I see a worn paperback copy at the thrift store, I might be tempted to pay 50 cents for it. On the other hand, I might not. It might not be sanitary to bring into my home. Snort!
I’ll wait for the movie, the rating of multiply “Pinocchios” will be delirious.
Vanity project.
Or another way to hide money.
“Hey Lisa how’d you get so rich?”
“Uhhh..(eyes shifting) my book, yeah book sales.”
Sal Greenfield, you are right. Lisa is likely money laundering with this book “advance” and sales (which likely will be very few). She is no different than Bernie Sanders claiming he is a millionaire because of his book sales.?
Exactly.
Lyin’ Lisa writing a book on bipartisanship is rich.
That word doesn’t mean what she thinks it means.
“Willing to challenge the president, regardless of who holds the office?” Lisa seems to vote against things just because Trump supports them. She certainly didn’t show that same consistency with any other president so I think she actually does temper her voice with blatant regard to who holds the office. I hope the book is a flop- no one should want to emulate the RINO queen.
Lisa Murkowski memoir, aka Lisa’s pack of self serving lies. This will sell about as well as Hillary and Kamala’s “memoirs”. Nothing but a steaming stinking pile of poop.
I like comedy.
She should run for POTUS in 4 years Maybe that will finally open her eyes to see how unpopular she really is
SHES SO VAIN & THE ONLY ONE IN THE ROOM WHO CANNOT SEE THE WRITING ON THE WALL. RESIGN SHAMELESS ONE. MAGA TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP
Far from home? Doesn’t she live in DC? Maybe she should have called it Far From My Hometown to be more accurate.
‘Far From Reality – A Washington, D.C. senator faces the extreme climate of Alaska’…
There, fixed it…
Man, I wish she was FAR from ALASKA & stayed there!
This is how they pay these turds….multi-millions for a book that no one will ever buy or read….done it for Biden and many others. It’s another form of money laundering. At this point, I wouldn’t be surprised to find out that USAID is funneling the money to the publishers
Grifter.
Definition of Nepotism.
Corrupt – Kenai land deal.
Barely passed the Bar.
Not principled.
Spoiled rich kid.
If it wasn’t for her father – she’d be a caferteria lady or working at the DMV.
Gag me with a nepotistic appointment.
I will grab a dozen copies when they are selling in the discount area for $0.99. They will make good fire starters and TP when camping.
She would have to cheat to get Alaska electoral votes. Alaska is the only state she could win. I would put 1 Trillion dollars that she receives 0 electoral votes
Order one for your outhouse today!
Who would read this drivel?
I bet this book is so bad she has to give away copies at a farmers’ market or a state fair just to get people to read it. To save you all the trouble, here’s a pre-emptive book review from a future not too far away:
I was hesitant, given the author, to attempt to read it, but the book cover was interesting enough, so curiosity got the better of me. But once I started, I couldn’t put it down. I couldn’t put it down because I wouldn’t allow myself to believe a publisher would actually print this rubbish. I had to see if the story would get any better. It became an obsession, really, to read until there was something of worth or value in her story. It never happened. I cried. I pulled my hair. I broke out into a rash. I began to binge drink. I became angry with people close to me, but there was no solace to be found. It took years off my life reading this torture paper. Why? Why? Why! I feel like my brain was raped. Can I file charges?
I hope Charlie got his money up front…..
If she offered to resign or not run for reelection based upon a certain number of copies sold I’d buy one, I’m sure it would make good tinder for the stove.
Perhaps a better title would have been, “The Flip-Flopper From Fairbanks.”
She is preparing for her next career. She has an audience, and she is far from home. It’s hard to return home after being on a national stage. She has a voice; Ted Talks, etc. is a great third act. Alaska is not an audience that pays speaker fees for think-tank intellectuals.
There’s a place in the community for everyone. Good on her for planning her next move. Sincerely.
And who ever put Princess in the category of”intellectuals ” odd that you mention high speaker fees as UAA shells out over 150K to bring Lizard Cheneyto the Atwood Center to speak on May1st and we are supposed to give even more’s to them for” education”?????
If she’s banking on high book sales in the 907, she’s completely out of touch with reality. Her running for president is also preposterous.
I take exception to the extended title on the book cover. ” An Alaskan Senator EMBRACES, (not faces), the extreme climate of Washington D.C” in my opinion is a more apt description of the Senators tenure.
Did she wright this book on our time? god knows she has lots of time to waist
I wonder if Lisa is going to brag about all the sweet innocent babies she helped murder. Well Lisa?
So very ‘predictable’ all of which don’t be surprised if Lisa advances forward:
… NYT lists her literary ‘so-called’ masterpiece as a #1 Best Seller.
… Other Rino’s buy 100’s of thousands of copies from their War Chests.
… Global Elites buy 100’s of thousands of copies of her book.
… She signs a ‘Talent Contract’ w/ CAA (Creative Artists Agency) in CA.
… Netflix commissions a docuseries featuring Daddy’s Little Princess.
… She’s picked up by Premier (leftist) K-Street Lobbyists Firm.
… Starts a 501(c)(3) and/or NGO to collect more Taxpayer $$$.
… Contracts w/ MSNBC – Politico – NPR – 60Minutes – etc. “Making Bank!!!”
That’s just a brief list of ways to cash-out when “Thrown-Out” in 4 years!
Then, she makes a frequent appearance in AK907, raising funds while secretly retiring to AZ, effectively fleecing and preaching to Alaskans. Meanwhile, the sympathetic (left leaning) saps in Alaska feel like they’re doing their part in support of a downtrodden female that was kicked to the curb, expertly playing the victim card like so many other liberal women.
“I was born a rich RINO child …”
(Opening line of the book “Memoirs of an Idiot”)
Far from. Nome, she’s about as Alaskan as San Francisco anymore.
We are ordering 50,000 copies to give to our Democrat friends for Christmas. Then it looks like a best seller. Good for the coffee table when Democrats sit around and b—- about Trump among themselves. However, we don’t expect any literary accolades.
Good for the little stand next to the toilet. It will quicken the relief. Bloated Democrats can now really thank Lisa for something.
Ah, she’s taking a page out of Hillary Clinton’s playbook – write a worthless tome and then have wealthy foreign donors buy them all. Lots of untraceable money. I heard there are thousands of unopened boxes of Clinton’s book in a warehouse in China.
Lisa,
I hope your book was made with soft paper so I can keep it in my bathroom for a few weeks!
Read, wipe, read, wipe, wipe, wipe wipe!
Charles Wolforth? That left wing hack from KTUU News? So that’s what happened to him. I wonder if he’s still married to Julie Hasquet.
Wonder no more Dan. Charles is married to a great conservative woman who was raised in Alaska and now lives in N.J. Even with their deep political differences they make it work and work well.
Dan:
Instead of asking the provocative question of whether Eric Wohlforth is still married to Julie Hasquet perhaps you should have done your homework first? You would quickly find that Hasquet was married to man named Woolston, not Wohlforth!
Laundering scheme…no one buys leftist books worth any amount of money they get.
Though, like the Murkowski’s honor, it is only good to for TP.
I pray she gets indicted for her crimes.
What I wanna know is who actually counts the votes are they city employees school employees government employees as I don’t see anybody from the private sector counting the votes when I go into the voting booth and that would explain why we get the people we get in positions of authority? I would say if small business and the regular working people would count the votes we would have totally different results in our elections think about it term limits ? and how did all these people learn how to spell Murkowski in that one weird election ? also the new ranked choice voting system that she got in with all the dark ?
