I know they\u2019re looking to see if he\u2019s accepted gratuities above and beyond what\u2019s legal and this sort of thing. Alaska &#8212; I don\u2019t want to offend you here, Todd &#8212; but Alaska is the king of pork. Every Alaskan citizen, I think last year, according to calculations &#8212; everybody thinks Robert Byrd runs this show, but I\u2019ll tell you, the Alaska delegation scores a thousand dollars per resident of the state in pork. That\u2019s hefty. Here\u2019s my take on this is this. I don\u2019t know if he\u2019s guilty or not. It\u2019s premature. But you get your house raided, it don\u2019t look good. The Republicans, contrary to what the Democrats say about the election in 2006, did not lose it because of Iraq. They lost it because of earmarks and corruption and the apparent arrogance and insulation from real people in the way they live. They also lost it because they failed to govern as they promised they would when they were campaigning. They became citizens of Washington rather than representatives of their voters and their districts. <\/p>\n<p>The Democrats right now are doing everything they can to water down their own ethics legislation. They\u2019re doing everything they can to get these earmarks to survive. If this is true, it\u2019s an opportunity for the Republicans to take the lead in cleaning this stuff up. It does present an opportunity. The only thing I\u2019m waiting for out there is, when is the raid on Searchlight, Nevada? There\u2019s a prominent US Senator that lives there, and there have been countless stories in the Los Angeles Times about shady land deals with his sons who are lobbyists and so forth. We are speaking here, of course, of the exalted Dingy Harry. So while they\u2019re raiding Ted Stevens, where\u2019s the raid in Searchlight, Nevada? Nevertheless, people are fed up with this kind of stuff. They always have been, but it\u2019s been so blatant and so up front, the earmarks and the pork, bridge to nowhere in Alaska, that kind of thing. There is an opportunity to gain the upper hand here if the Republicans have the mettle. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Here\u2019s Todd in Ketchikan, Alaska.
