Don may finally have stepped in it one too many times.

Forest is young and hasn't been elected to any office before, but he's smart and has a good resume, so he may stand a chance.

Besides the numerous ethical lapses that repeatedly have brought Don Young to the top of CREW's list, there were the "wetback" comments, the thumbs in the ear finger wave at the hearing honoring the deceased soldier, the semi-assault on the Capitol staffer and now this, which may have finally gotten people's attention.

The R carries a lot of weight, but I see even some die- hard conservatives here are saying he has to go. He's always been an asshole, but I suspect senility at this point. He's 81, after all.
