If Alaska's Senate seat doesn't work out for Joe Miller, there's always East Berlin

Sarah Palin may be able to see Russia from Alaska, but Joe Miller can see the Soviet Union.
The Republican nominee for the Senate in the Last Frontier has established himself in recent weeks as an authority on the authoritarian.
He sought protection from a security firm run by a guy with ties to the militia movement. His security detail, which included active-duty members of the U.S. military, handcuffed and performed a citizen's arrest on a reporter who was attempting to question Miller. The candidate offered favorable thoughts about the former East Germany. And he fought disclosure of details about his work for local government until ordered by a judge to comply.
"For weeks," the moderator of a debate Sunday night in Alaska told Miller, "the Alaska media have been asking you about your job performance when you were an attorney for the Fairbanks North Star Borough," particularly the alleged use of "government computers to conduct partisan political business." But rather than answer, the moderator continued, "you held a news conference to tell reporters that you weren't going to answer any questions about your past."
