From Don Young, Alaska's notorious anti-environmentalist, also facing corruption charges, a strangely guilt-ridden defense (via Roll Call) of his pal Ted Stevens after his conviction on seven counts:
“I can remember Richard Nixon, you know, his years of service, what
he’s done, and everybody [was] ridiculing him, and he ended up being
the greatest president in the history of our century. … The Senator
will be re-elected. He will appeal it. When he does go, he will win it
because there’s no way this is a jury of his peers.”
So Young told the Anchorage Daily News.
Amazing. If Richard Nixon was the greatest president in American history because he had to resign in disgrace, does that make Ted Stevens the greatest American senator, because he was convicted of taking kickbacks?
Just wondering.

As a former Alaskan , 12 years in Juneau and Nome, I say time to go Mr Stevens and Don Young too. Alaska needs new leaders…..and NOT Sarah Palin, the most popular governor in the USA NOT.
btw, Kit, i have changed polar cities name to “Climate Retreats” and new images are here. Polar cities still remain useful for extreme northern area, but these new images are for climate refugees in Lower 48 too.
