Any Excuse To Run A Picture of Sarah Palin
Monday, November 12th, 2007
Because we can never resist an opportunity to run a picture of the hottest Governor in all 50 states (and my total girl crush), the Washington Post is reporting that Alaska Governor Sarah Palin called Alaskan legislators back to Juneau for a special session to re-vote on an oil tax bill — those legislators that haven’t been convicted of or charged with taking bribes to pass the bill, that is. Oh, those innocent days when the scandals were all about money and power. Come and relive the early days of a scandal that may end up taking down a sitting U.S. Senator, after the jump.

Now that Ted Stevens’ son Ben is no longer a corrupt Alaskan state Senator, he needs to find some way to feed the kids he may or may not have. Thankfully, father Ted pulled some strings and got his wayward son a gig with the transportation company Lynden, who, coincidentally, have received $300 million in federal contracts over the last six years, thanks to Ted being a ranking member of the Senate Defense Appropriations committee. Now, how about this job? Cushy desk gig, no doubt?
