Get the party horns out! Tomorrow marks the one year anniversary of the FBI’s raid on the offices of six Alaska state legislators (including Ben Stevens’), Veco and other undisclosed locations. Sadly, none of the “Corrupt Bastard Club” paraphernalia has surfaced on Ebay.
KTUU reports that the raid marked a public turning-point. Gov. Sarah Palin (R), for instance, ousted Gov. Frank Murkowski last year in the primary and went on to win the general election on a campaign touting ethics reform.
“It was a manifestation of the need for the ethics reform that so many Alaskans were craving and were calling for anyway,” Palin said.
