...for links. This is a Republican state and almost ALL of them are in trouble for one thing or another. They just don't "get" ethics. Surprise, surprise. You could write a book on Ted and Ben Stevens alone. (Check out Adak Fisheries.) Murkowski, of course, is entertaining on so many levels. His attorney general had to resign for ethics violations. The chairman of the state Republican party, Randy Ruedrich, was investigated (by the aforesaid attorney general) and came up wanting, but I believe he's still in charge. One of the state representatives, Scott Ogan, resigned in the face of a recall. One Republican congressman has even proposed a law making it ILLEGAL for anyone to discuss publicly a pending ethics investigation. That's one way to take care of it, I suppose. They're really just amusing as hell -- I don't know how they keep getting elected.
