Stevens told his buddy to 'lay low'

He's an Alaskan politician, what do you expect? Alaska is a welfare state were $1.83 in federal founding is returned for each dollar in federal taxes Alaskans pay. Add to this, Alaskans get checks for oil produced on public land owned by all of us.

Didn't the US buy Alaska from Russia with the tax dollars of Americans?

We have an entitlement mind set in Alaska. Stevens thinks he is entitled. They whole state is a vast entitlement program sucking the rest of America.

This is WHY President McCain and Sarah wants to ban all lobbiests in Washington DC, get rid of them for "backdoor favors" for some law to be passed for them. Just how mant Democrat's takes these tokens here as well, "ALL OF THEM DO", they only like to PICK ON the State where Sarah runs, and lives in, before her name came up as VEEP, they never knew it existed, other than oil drilling there and save the whales garbage from PETA.

The FBI and a federal grand jury are currently investigating how, in 2000, �Sen. Ted Stevens (R-AK) jacked his house off the ground, inserted a new first story and placed the old first floor on top, thanks to the help of a top executive at local oil company Veco Corp. who hired at least one key contractor to complete the feat of a job.� Two former Veco Corp. executives recently pleaded guilty to federal bribery and conspiracy charges, which includes paying $242,000 in illegitimate consulting fees to Stevens� son, Ben, a former Alaska state senator.

If they are GUILTY, toss em all in Prison.

End of report.
