They are not shocked that Stevens got a little mungo from a huge oil company project.. The issue wasn't the bribes, but that he didn't properly report them on his federal forms. If there is any justice in Alaska, Ms. Palin is going to find herself in similar hot water over the construction of her house, though the charges against her will be state, not federal. If every politician who got a favor from someone was removed they would not be able to raise a quorum in any legislative body in the country. The advantage for Palin here is that in 4 years this will all be old news. I still say this was just a way to clean out her closet with very little to lose. The odds of a republican winning the white house were slim this time, no matter who they ran. She may be the most vetted politician in the country right now and in the grand scheme of things, they didn't find much. The real question will be in how she acts from now on. If I was her I would get a better grasp on how the federal government works. Some of her "the VP runs the Senate" lines were just dumb. Nothing would do that better than a job at the capitol. There's a Senator up for election in 2010 |
