Even though the Governor of the state of Alaska hasn’t spoken up, her running mate has. This morning John McCain asked Alaskan Senator Ted Stevens for his resignation.  McCain’s statement is below:

Yesterday, Senator Ted Stevens was found guilty of corruption. It is a sign of the health of our democracy that the people continue to hold their representatives to account for improper or illegal conduct, but this verdict is also a sign of the corruption and insider-dealing that has become so pervasive in our nation’s capital.

It is clear that Senator Stevens has broken his trust with the people and that he should now step down. I hope that my colleagues in the Senate will be spurred by these events to redouble their efforts to end this kind of corruption once and for all.

I find it interesting that the “reformer”, the woman who “cleaned up corruption in Alaska hasn’t said anything.  If Sarah Palin was a corruption cleaner and a reformer and someone who wanted to take the greed out of Washington, she probably should have been the first person to say something. Don’t you think?

Why so quiet Sarah Palin?

Maybe it’s because she’s gone rogue.
