Akidis: Gov. Palin vs. Uncle Fed (Ted)

Look at this article by the Alaska Journal of Commerce featuring Sen. Ted Stevens complaining about funding, next to a very flattering picture. Here's a quote

Federal funding for some special Alaska programs
may be coming to an end over partisan politics, according to Sen. Ted Stevens.
“We are in for a very long, hard intense political year,” Stevens said Feb.
19 at an Anchorage press conference.

Compare that to a quote from Gov. Palin talking about the gasline to FERC officials in DC.

"The state of Alaska is not looking for
handouts," Palin said.
"We want to work with the federal government and the
companies to get this important project built."

Bravo Gov. Palin. Alaska has been a whore of the federal government too long. It's time for a change.
