The stand up comedians of the Alaska Republican Party were out in force.

AK GOP Chair Randy Ruedrich:

The Alaska Republican Party further believes that current Senator Mark Begich should resign his position to allow for a new, special election, so Alaskans may have the chance to vote for a Senator without the improper influence of the corrupt [Bush] Department of Justice.

The only reason Mark Begich won the election in November is because a few thousand Alaskans thought that Senator Ted Stevens was guilty of seven felonies. Senator Stevens has maintained his innocence and now, even the Department of Justice acknowedges [sic] it’s [sic] wrong doing.

A special election will allow Alaskans to have a real, non-biased, credible process where the most qualified person could win, without the manipulation of the Department of Justice.

“We’ll look forward to the complete story presenting itself and clearing Senator Stevens name.,” Ruedrich said.

Gov. Sarah Palin:

Gov. Palin is with Ruedrich. “I absolutely agree,” she said in a written statement through a spokeswoman.

Shorter Alaska Republicans:

Thanks to the Obama administration’s commitment to honoring the rule of law by voiding the indictment of Ted Stevens, it is only right and fair that Senator Mark Begich ignore the rule of law, void his election and resign.

The really funny thing? Even Alaska’s Republican senior Senator Lisa Murkowski disagrees with Palin and Ruedrich’s laugh-lines. She responded to these statements: “that is not an option.”
