Alas, Alaska's Shame
I like to think Stevens didn't come to politics corrupt, like his fellow under-investigation-Republican-Senator from Alaska, Lisa Murkowski, who learned it all from daddy Murkowski. Frank was crushed by two primary opponents after Alaskans had one term with him as Governor. No, I like to think that Ted Stevens was corrupted by years on seniority on the powerful Senate Appropriations Committee, which gets one used to taking home bacon and serving for a couple of decades in the Senate. And he did. I'd like to see Alaska get over the habit of electing Republican Senators.
