Hot Seat

With Stevens now in the hot
seat, one has to wonder about the rest of his buddies. Will Frank
Murkowski and Don Young start feeling pressure as well as others?
Stevens has brought a lot of attention to himself with the bridges
and congressional temper tantrums. He wanted to place the bridge
spending into a defense bill because no politician in their right
mind would not fund the troops. A very low step to go to get
funding for bridges that the entire nation is paying for.
It will be interesting to see what happens here. I am sure there
will be a lot of crying foul from Ted, but he is obviously not
an angel...enter the whole Jack Abramoff situation. Ted quickly
gave the money back when it all got investigated.
So who are the politicians out for? Obviously thier own pockets.
Time for them to go and get some politicians who are "in
the now."
