Is it true that Murkowski also lobbied the legislature for a private jet--his prop plane wasn't speedy enough--then when turned down, "grabbed $2 million from the department of public security to buy one anyway and used it for campaign and personal trips" ? (Wall St Journal 25 Aug 2006.)

Even the WSJ has had enough of him and similar politicians--"If Republicans are run out of Congress in November, one big reason will be that, like Mr. Murkowski, they have become far more comfortable running the government than reforming it."
