And An Earmark In A Pear Tree
Can't keep all of the ins-and-outs of the Alaska political corruption scandal straight, what with one jury conviction, three guilty pleas, three impending corruption trials, seven current and former officials in the spotlight, a murky non-profit taking heat, an oil services company facing scrutiny and a sea life tourist attraction under fire? The Anchorage Daily News posted a user-friendly run down of all of these key players, here.

Laura,
Can you please find out what Barbara Smyers Flanders, actually does to earn her big fat salary as a financial clerk for the Senate Commerce Committee? Flanders is the one who was on Stevens' staff and did his bookkeeping.
Senator Daniel Inouye is the Commerce Committee chairman and it appears that Flanders got her last big raise on his watch.
We know Inouye is best friends with Ted Stevens.
Is there a chance that Flanders is romantically linked with Stevens or Inouye?
Geezergate?

Oops! I forgot to mention that Barbara Flanders, financial clerk, now earns $152k annually which is the same salary paid to the committee's legislative counsel.
And why did Flanders still have docs related to Stevens' financial affairs if she hasn't done any personal work for him in two years?

I love intelligent people! The fun of knowing others know what you mean when you use a familiar line in a funny way.
Gave me a chuckle, you did!
