Four years is enough

We have had four years of Frank Murkowski, and what has he done?
He has cut the longevity bonus, purchased himself a private
jet (that masquerades as a prisoner transporter) and tried to
rush the deal of lifetime (for the oil and gas companies) through
the legislature. Meanwhile when questioned during a teleconference
as to where he has lived in Alaska, he completely forgets he
ever lived in Ketchikan.
I am seeing signs around Ketchikan that "experience counts",
well if experience at fleecing the citizens is a qualification
for being Governor, then Frank Murkowski is eminently qualified,
but in my book, I'd rather have someone that can remember what
high school they graduated from, as my Governor.
