How about calling them ‘jailbait’? Don Surber blog Back home in Alaska, Sen. Ted Stevens, R-Under Investigation, is trying to rally his supporters, the Anchorage Daily News reported. The Robert C. Byrd-wannabe told supporters: “I don’t like the word ‘earmark’.” Well, what should we call them then? How about evidence? After all, they could indicate a favor granted for a gratuity, say like hiring his son for example. How about abra-cadabra? After all, earmarks magically turned Duke Cunningham from a Vietnam War hero into inmate No. 21489-038. How about matchsticks? After all, if you mess with these you can get burnt. How about G-men magnets? After all, they seem to attract FBI agents. How about jailbait? After all, they should be off-limits. How about diseased? After all, they sicken those of us who believe in good government. How about we call them illegal? How about we call them finished? How about we call them history? Stevens is not helping Alaska. He is helping himself, his friends and his son. Alaskans can rally around him all they like, but I will point out that earmarks are illusions of economic development. West Virginia was 39th among the states in per capita income when Byrd became our senator in 1959. Today, we are 49th. blogs.dailymail.com adn.com
