First interview with Congressman Don Young after he threatened his Democratic challenger fails to ask him the most important question. #Whodidyoukill?

"The last guy who touched me ended up on the ground dead."

As all of you know I am obsessed with discovering who our lone Congressman has killed, and where he hid the bodies, ever since that fisheries debate in Kodiak, during which he said the following:

"Don’t you ever touch me. Don’t ever touch me. The last guy who touched me ended up on the ground dead.” 

So I was really excited to learn that Young had recently been interviewed by KTUU reporter Grace Jang. As far as I know this was the first interview with Young since the incident, but sadly Jang did not directly ask him about it.

However she did ask about Young's history with that kind of behavior:

Grace Jang: Your challenger mentioned a few incidents, like the staffer’s arm and the racial slur and the antics on the (House) floor. You responded to that. Can you tell us again what you said? 

Young: I said, ‘That’s me.’ I make no bones about it. I don’t want to be touched. I’ve never been touched unexpectedly by anybody. That was my immediate response. I was trained that way. He’s too young to know that. He’s never been in the military. And I’ve been that way. That’s who I am. I’m Don Young. I’m an Alaskan congressman, and I’ll always be the Alaskan congressman until they decide not to vote for me. But I’ll continue being Don Young. I’m not going to change because somebody wants me to change.

Jesus he even talks about himself in the third person.  As if there was any doubt as to his arrogance.

And the son-of-a-bitch has no plans to retire either. Just listen to this:

Grace Jang: You’re 81 years old. How much longer can you do this? 

Young: I feel good. Physically, I’m in great shape. I go well, and I do what I have to do. There will be a time when if I can’t do it physically, I won’t do it. I’ve got a commitment to my daughters. And if I know I can’t walk, I’m staggering around, I’ll probably not do it. I know that time will come. Right now, though, I’m tearin’ ‘em up and making little pieces out of them. So I’m having a good time.

"Tearin' em up and making little pieces out of them." That is exactly what he is doing to the reputation of Alaskans. 

I am under no illusions that Young will lose this next election, but dammit he certainly should.

And if reporters would simply start demanding to know who it was that he supposedly killed, or at least make him admit that he lied about that, this might actually be the election that sees him forced to step down.

And THAT would be good news for Alaskans indeed.
