As a constituent who once admired and advocated for his re-election, AkCodPiece, I could not agree more. From a seemingly very principled statesman, he has apparently devolved into someone more in love with his rhetoric and position within the power structure as articulated by CBC 2.0.
This man will collect a double-dip pension from the State of Alaska, made all the more egregious by his becoming the silent advocator for the Republican Majority's excesses after having been spanked from Senate President to ignominious banishment to the Education Committee by his oil-soaked peers.
I am so sorry I was obligated to be working on oil spill drills while Stevens finally graced we Cordovans with his presence yesterday (coincidental timing to his visit?), after a year's absence from our community. Gary Stevens not only owes we Cordovans answers, he owes the People of Alaska one big-time too. With an apology.
But he's much too smooth for that. 
Like 'we' were ever down with the Anchorage LIO?
