Hawaii Democratic Senator Daniel Inouye is headlining a fundraiser for Alaska Senator Ted "Tubes" Stevens. Stevens, despite 40 years in the Senate, is considered vulnerable this year: Stevens is under federal investigation for his possible involvement in a corruption scandal that has rocked the Alaskan Republican establishment, and he is facing a strong Democratic challenge from Anchorage Mayor Mark Begich.
What does Senator Inouye think he is doing? Alaskan and Hawaiian Kossacks and anybody else interested in helping Stevens to retire -- you know what to do! (Suggestions for action after the fold.)
Let's hold a fundraiser of our own for Mark Begich, and send an Alaskan Democrat to the Senate: Donate here!
