Rep. Don Young (R-Alaska), who is also under investigation by federal officials, offered a whole-hearted, but odd endorsement of Stevens, equating his pursuit of justice with that of disgraced former President Richard Nixon.
“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,” Young told the Anchorage Daily News.
No further comment required.
Nixon the greatest president of the 20th century? Above both Roosevelts? Above Kennedy? Above Eisenhower? Above Truman? Above…gasp!…Reagan?
Representative Ethan Berkowitz thanks you.
Even Redstate.com refuses to endorse Stevens and Young. Tat’s how toxic they are.
Does anyone else remember he may have been the only major GOPer predicting party gains in 2006? His quotes over the years are the stuff of legends, and the one above may be the best because it is funny on so many levels.
I thought it was a rule that once you decided to become a Republican you were not given your registration card until you masturbated to a photo of Ronnie.
At the fact that Representative Young is losing by a larger margin than Senator Stevens in recent polling. How he thinks tying himself to Stevens can help either one of them is beyond me.
OK, Don. So who would be a jury of his peers? 12 other crooked Senators and Congressmen?
