Soon-to-be-former U.S. Rep. Marilyn Musgrave, neither seen nor heard in the four weeks since her thumping loss to Democratic challenger Betsy Markey, finally made that phone call. Thing is, it wasn’t a concession call to Markey, and it wasn’t a call to thank her supporters. No, the lame-duck Republican lent her voice to a robocall for the Georgia Senate run-off election on Tuesday, blaming “leftist special interests” for her defeat.

“They overwhelmed us with money,” Musgrave says in the call. “And they smothered the truth with vicious attacks and lies,” The Fort Collins Coloradoan reported online Tuesday. It gets better.

It’s the first evidence the three-term congresswoman survived her Election Day trouncing. Musgrave’s robocall supporting Republican Sen. Saxby Chambliss is part of “Team Sarah” — yep, that’s Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin — organized by the anti-abortion Susan B. Anthony List Candidate Fund. The conservative group claimed Monday it’s “contacting over 200,000 Georgia households with a Get Out the Vote phone message recorded by Congresswoman Marilyn Musgrave (R-CO)” ... http://coloradoindependent.com/16539/musgrave-finally-concedes-election-%E2%80%94-in-robocall-to-200000-georgians

2. As is often done to football coaches who have overstayed their time

I hope a few of Musgraves' constituents grace her lawn with "FOR SALE" signs to let her know how much she is loved.

3. I met her once

She is a nasty, vile woman. I am glad that she no longer represents my congressional district.
