This is exactly what is wrong with the Washington crowd, they think the laws that the rest of us "lower class" citizens live under don't apply to them. How can this guy possibly think he can just keep on doing business as usual? He needs to resign immediately and pay his price for being a greedy, self-absorbed crook. For him to think, even for just a second, that because he has been so beneficial for Alaska during his term as Senator that he shouldn't have to pay the same price you or I would if we were convicted of the same charges is proof positive that he is not what we need in D.C. I think part of the problem is he is feeling picked on since it is obvious that most of our politicians are guilty of the same type of crimes, they just haven't been caught yet. We need to clean house at the Capital Building and get these types out of there. Until we do that, we will keep getting the same types of results from Congress. The whole reason I joined this blog as a commenter is because I feel the same way as the founder, we need to hold our politicians responsible for their actions (or lack there of) and make them pay the price when they screw up. They are not above any of us and we need to make them understand that THEY work for US, not the other way around. What?
