Outside Don Young's annual pig roast fundraiser on Wednesday night, a raucous crowd of all ages and political persuasions taunted the guests with shouts of "oink, oink," waved signs against corruption and big money in politics, and generally protested anything Young favored.
It was a party inside the fence, where the more than 200 guests drank beer and bottled water and dined on pork under white tents. They were asked to donate up to $1,000 each for U.S. Rep. Young's re-election campaign.
And it was a party outside, where about 70 protesters showed up for a remarkable demonstration not only against Young at his signature fundraiser event, but also against U.S. Sens. Ted Stevens and Lisa Murkowski, who were special guests.
Our arrogant politicians are quite literally rubbing our noses in their disdain for our feelings concerning their un-ethical, and quite possibly illegal, behaviors.
And what were they feasting on at this little barbecue? Pork. If that is not the most audacious fuck you ever delivered to the Alaskan voter then I don't know what is.
I think that the individuals inside that house may have sealed their fate in the next election. It is too bad that Lisa Murkowski has not broken with the other tainted lawmakers, because there is less anger directed toward her up till now. But by associating with these criminals she is going to find herself having to defend, not just her actions, but theirs as well.
I have my doubts that any Republican will be able to stay in office in 2008.
