Another guilty plea in Alaska corruption probe

TPM:

The Justice Department just announced that Beverly Masek, a former member of the state House of Representatives, pleaded guilty today to conspiracy to commit bribery, in connection with cash payments she received from oil-services contractor Bil Allen, in exchange for using her position to take actions that benefited Allen's company.

Masek faces a maximum of five years in prison, and is due to be sentenced in May.

The wide-ranging probe, of course, has already netted Ted Stevens -- the Republican former U.S. senator, who was convicted last fall of making false statement on his Senate disclosure forms in connection to gifts he received from Allen. -- as well as several Alaska state lawmakers in addition to Masek.

Wow, Ari is losing his smooth lying ability fast...and you could pack for Europe with those sleepless bags under his eyes. All that lying and death keeping him awake at night? I hope so.
And as for Ingram, more proof she's holding in desperado mode.
