Senator Corruption (R-AK)

Written by Sean on September 15th, 2007
“One of these allegations is that you helped Sen. Ted Stevens with remodeling his house in Girdwood, isn’t that true?” Wendt asked. “Uh, yes,” Allen said.

“In helping Sen. Stevens remodel his residence, you or Veco paid a number of bills in remodeling that residence, isn’t that true?”

“I, I, I give Ted some old furniture, I don’t think it was a lot of material,” Allen said, stammering at first. “There was some labor.”

“There wasn’t a lot of materials but you paid some labor bills that went into Sen. Stevens’s house?” Wendt continued.

“Yes,” said Allen. “It would be Veco employees.”

Does anybody really think this guy belongs in the Senate?  I am generally less supportive of primary challenges this cycle than I have been in the past due to the extremely difficult environment, but this is rediculous.  This is indefensible, and unlike Senator Craig’s problems,  is directly related to his status as a United States Senator.

    If the GOP does not force him to resign or put up a challenger against him in next year’s primary, they fully deserve to lose the seat. Stevens is everything that is wrong with government. He is nothing but a corrupt trough feeder and people like him are part of the reason we lost the Senate last year.
