AK GOPer Joe Miller admitted lying after he was busted for ethics violation and he's a homophobe

Joe Miller, the teabagger who won the GOP Senate primary in Alaska, has tried to hide his past. But, it's catching up with him. Documents released yesterday show he violated his employer's ethics policy, then lied about it, then had to admit that he lied:

Republican U.S. Senate nominee Joe Miller admitted in 2008 that he lied after being caught using Fairbanks North Star Borough computers for political purposes while he was working as a part-time borough lawyer.

"I lied about accessing all of the computers. I then admitted about accessing the computers, but lied about what I was doing. Finally, I admitted what I did," Miller wrote in a March 17, 2008, e-mail to Fairbanks North Star Borough Attorney Rene Broker.

Miller's admission and a disciplinary letter were among his employee records released by the Fairbanks North Star Borough on Tuesday as a result of a lawsuit by media organizations. Miller initially fought release of the documents, but state Superior Court Judge Winston Burbank ordered most of the records sought to be released, and Miller decided not to appeal to the Alaska Supreme Court.

On March 12, 2008, Miller went on three of his co-workers' computers to vote in an online poll, apparently connected with his failed effort to oust Randy Ruedrich as state Republican Party chair. Miller then cleared his colleagues' computer caches to erase his tracks, in the process clearing out their passwords and saved websites.

What an idiot.

Let us not forget that Mr. Miller is the progeny of Sarah Palin, who has her own fair share of ethical lapses.

In any other year, this would probably doom a candidate. But, in 2010, there are no standards for bad behavior.

The Democrat in the race is Scott McAdams. He's like an oasis of sanity and rational thinking in this race. The current Senator, Lisa Murkowski, who lost to Miller/Palin in the GOP primary, is running a write-in campaign.

Watch Rachel's very on-the-go interview with Miller. Further proving that teabaggers do, in fact, care deeply about social issues, Miller is a classic right-wing homophobe.
