WE WIN! ALASKA WINS! TAKE THAT ... uh ... RHODE ISLAND!
Edited on Tue Sep-18-07 10:44 PM by roguevalley
The ENTIRE DELEGATION for Alaska to the Congress and Senate made the most corrupt politician list!

I don't think there is another state that can hold a candle to that. However, if you wanna go for the title, we'll let ya.

:evilgrin:

Edit for stuff:

The 22 Most Corrupt Members of Congress are:

* Sen. Pete V. Domenici (R-NM)
* Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY)
* Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK)
* Sen. Ted Stevens (R-AK)
* Rep. Ken Calvert (R-CA)
* Rep. John T. Doolittle (R-CA)
* Rep. Tom Feeney (R-FL)
* Rep. Doc Hastings (R-WA)
* Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-CA)
* Rep. William J. Jefferson (D-LA)
* Rep. Jerry Lewis (R-CA)
* Rep. Gary G. Miller (R-CA)
* Rep. Alan B. Mollohan (D-WV)
* Rep. Timothy F. Murphy (R-PA)
* Rep. John P. Murtha (D-PA)
* Rep. Steve Pearce (R-NM)
* Rep. Rick Renzi (R-AZ)
* Rep. Harold Rogers (R-KY)
* Rep. David Scott (D-GA)
* Rep. Jerry Weller (R-IL)
* Rep. Heather A. Wilson (R-NM)
* Rep. Don Young (R-AK)

The two to watch are:

* Sen. Larry E. Craig (R-ID)
* Sen. David Vitter (R-LA)

12. The Anchorage Daily News has been covering it all
http://www.adn.com/ (you'll probably need to sign up, but it's free)

or http://www.ktuu.com/


Bill Allen and Rick Smith have been implicating about every Republican politician in the state. It's pretty fun.

2. I saw that earlier today, Rogue.
Aren't we PROUD??? If they were counting state politicians, too, we'd REALLY put them all to shame. :rofl:

Hey, when do you think they're going to come for old Frank the Bank?

11. Oh, wow, LIDA???
I hadn't even thought about her, but we have been kind of amused at her little spats with the guv. It seems like there's some really bad blood between her and Sarah.

5. Call to Action Alert!!!
We need to help Senator Leahy with his restore habeas corpus act. Joe Biden has already said he wil vote yes. They need only a few more votes to avoid fillibuster. Please check your senator’s position and take appropriate action. Here’s the link: http://restore-habeas.org /
