Alaskan Congressman Don Young Gets Off Way Too Easily

POSTED BY: Dylan Ris

Lost in the frenzy of news coming out of Alaska -- namely that Ted Stevens lost and Sarah Palin is getting a better agent than Joe the Plumber-- was the confirmation that the state's lone Congressman, Don Young (R), will be back for a 19th term...

The winner of the race for Alaska's sole House seat wasn't really in doubt after Election Day, when longtime incumbent Rep. Don Young led Democratic challenger Ethan Berkowitz by more than 16,000 votes.

It still took Berkowitz until Tuesday afternoon, with the counting of nearly all the outstanding ballots, to concede defeat to Republican Young...

Pollsters had counted Young out but they were wrong.

Wonder why those pollsters were so down on Don Young?

Could it have anything to do with the fact that...

* He's raised/spent over $1 million in legal fees amid charges that he's tied up with the same oil company that Ted Stevens has been feloniously porking.

* He used his jurisdiction as Alaska Congressman to steer $10 million to a fundraiser's construction project in Florida.

* If he were any more tied to Jack Abramoff, he'd own an Indian casino.

* Even the Club for Growth campaigned against him.

* He swung a walrus penis bone at the former U.S. Fish and Wildlife director.

* His wife is a tyrannical, computer-hating, pumpkin seed-devouring bitch.

The list goes on, but I should probably let the FBI conclude their investigation against Young before commenting any further.

Needless to say, if the G-Men decide to proceed with an arrest, they won't have a hard time finding Young.

Whether they come searching tomorrow, next year or in 2022, he'll be in his Capitol Hill office -- right where the people of Alaska want him.

Either Don Young has the best Congressional facial hair or somebody had stellar Col. Sanders chin transplant surgery.

Ok, Alaska. I'm Officially Piling On

POSTED BY: Eric March

2/3 of your congressional delegation is going to prison. And you re-elected them.

This plus Palin really makes me want to come visit and meet the fuck out of every single one of you guys. In fact, I've got your new tourism slogan all worked out:

Alaska: What in the Hell Goes On Up There?

Is that Ted Stevens International Airport I hear buzzing?

I'm from Alaska myself. There was no way in hell that I was going to vote to re-elect these guys.

Ted Stevens and Don Young Still Somehow Lead In Alaska

POSTED BY: Dylan and Ethan Ris

You'd think that being tied to convicted felon lobbyists would be political suicide in today's climate.  And you'd certainly think that being a convicted felon yourself would be even worse.  But in Alaska, there may be one sin that trumps both of those...

Being a Democrat.

What we're getting at is that somehow GOP Rep. Don Young (he of the Jack Abramoff affiliations) and Sen. Ted Stevens (he of the seven felony convictions) continue to lead in election returns as we approach 5 a.m. in the East.

What's wrong with Democrats, Alaska?  Was the last one you sent to Washington such a disaster that you're now morally opposed to ever doing it again?  Honestly, how bad could it have been under that last Democrat, who was... let's see here...

Mike Gravel???

Alright, maybe you have a point there, Alaska.
