- Gigs, on 10/27/2008, -15/+183Cya, filibuster. 60 Democratic Senators, here we come!!
- nycjap, on 10/27/2008, -0/+164My favorite excerpt from the prosecution's cross-examination of Senator Ted (from the NYTimes):
But Ms. Morris did highlight two other issues intended to damage Mr. Stevens’s credibility. She challenged Mr. Stevens about his possession for seven years of an expensive massage chair bought for him in 2001 by another friend, Bob Persons.
Mr. Stevens did not list the chair on his Senate disclosure forms as a gift, he said, because it was a loan.
“That chair, it’s still at your house?” Ms. Morris asked.
“Yes,” Mr. Stevens replied.
“How is that not a gift?” she then asked.
Mr. Stevens said Mr. Persons “bought the chair as a gift but I refused it as a gift.” He said he agreed to have the chair stored in his home for Mr. Persons.
“So, if you say it’s not a gift, it’s not a gift?” the prosecutor asked. She then confronted Mr. Stevens with a note he had written to Mr. Persons thanking him for the chair, saying how much he loved using the chair and even sometimes fell asleep in it.
So it's safe to say at this point that Stevens "got the chair". - future15tbd, on 10/27/2008, -1/+160Hello - Alaska - Now you have to do your job.
From the Washington Post:
"Despite being a convicted felon, he is not required to drop out of the race or resign from the Senate. If he wins re-election, he can continue to hold his seat because there is no rule barring felons from serving in Congress. The Senate could vote to expel Stevens on a two-thirds vote."
Alaskans need to VOTE him out of office. Being convicted of a felony won't force you to leave the Senate! - jimchap, on 10/27/2008, -1/+154Oddly enough, felons cannot vote in certain states but serve? Sure!!
- pisseddog, on 10/27/2008, -2/+135I logged in just to digg This. ***** him.
- Norse, on 10/27/2008, -1/+123Prison isn't just a big building, it is a series of cubes.
- Hillsfar, on 10/27/2008, -14/+117Another Democrat for the United States Senate! Vote Begich '08!
- AnonBuffalo, on 10/27/2008, -1/+91Hopefully he will be behind a series of bars.
- cheesegypsy, on 10/27/2008, -11/+91Seems like he has a close associate in a certain VP candidate. More ***** news for Republicans with one week to go!
- davebg8r, on 10/27/2008, -2/+68Lets start going down the line to all Senators and Representatives and clean house.
- holly123456, on 10/27/2008, -4/+65"schadenfreude is the only true joy"
- RandomGorilla, on 10/27/2008, -0/+49I bet he wishes he had a series of tubes to crawl into and hide right now.
- rebotfc, on 10/27/2008, -0/+48Maybe he hid the money in the tubes.
- elliotys, on 10/27/2008, -0/+43This is the comments section. You are looking for the "submit a new story" section.
- amoirae, on 10/27/2008, -3/+46The bridge to nowhere finally leads to prison. It's about time.
- Insightful, on 10/27/2008, -3/+44It's kind of like Palin's clothing.
Her campaign demanded that it be bought and demanded that RNC pay for it. She wore it. Everywhere. But once the news broke that it cost $150,000, she suddenly does not own it, claim that most of it was not asked for or even worn, she would donate to charity at the end, in fact, she did not even want it!
Hey Palin, how about that makeup artist you hired that charged $22,000 per month? Did you not want that too? - UtahApocalyse, on 10/27/2008, -0/+38wow front page while it actually IS breaking news.
- Autodidaddict, on 10/27/2008, -0/+33Was this the guy who said an expensive chair he had in his house was a loan? Even though it had been there for decades?
- spect3r, on 10/27/2008, -0/+33Don't get too excited! We don't want to have to get dump trucks involved to haul away all the cloggage
- tomarocco, on 10/27/2008, -14/+46Payback's a bitch, ain't it?
- rodon, on 10/27/2008, -0/+31Go to JAIL! Do not pass go... Do not collect $200.
- sassyjack, on 10/27/2008, -0/+31He just has to wait until after the election, then watch the Justice Department start the process, and shredding. Oh, the shredding.
- Sneezyx, on 10/27/2008, -2/+33Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.
- inactive, on 10/27/2008, -3/+33"Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin began building clout in her state's political circles in part by serving as a director of an independent political group organized by the now embattled Alaska Sen. Ted Stevens. Palin's name is listed on 2003 incorporation papers of the 'Ted Stevens Excellence in Public Service, Inc.,' a 527 group that could raise unlimited funds from corporate donors."

Mavericks commit felonies, apparently. - Ajajadude, on 10/27/2008, -0/+28Wow. Talk about stretching things.
- Trifold, on 10/27/2008, -0/+28Hey Ted, that thing that's coming to take you away IS a big truck.
- cheesegypsy, on 10/27/2008, -1/+28Think again.

Alaskan politics is a small world and you don't rise to the top of the party without help from the Godfather. - inactive, on 10/27/2008, -0/+27That coffin was buried some time ago. Too late for more nails.
- Aadain, on 10/27/2008, -1/+28Don't even joke about that!
- wherearemymeds, on 10/27/2008, -3/+29yeah, I always thought that that was incredibly bizarre. I am hoping that Alaska has enough good sense to go without him on their masthead, and if we're all very lucky, maybe they can oust Ms. Palin asap, too.
- tiffanyjm, on 10/27/2008, -1/+27Regardless, Palin and Stevens have probably had to deal with each other more than Obama and Ayers.
Obama gets accused of having a close friendship with someone who he briefly worked with, but Stevens can cut a TV ad for Palin, and you say they aren't friends?
I'm sorry, but if guilt by association is used for Obama/Ayers, I would say it would be even more compelling with Palin/Stevens. - gthrank, on 10/27/2008, -4/+29Yet ANOTHER corrupt Republican? Amazing! Who woulda thunk it!?
- Dustin00, on 10/27/2008, -0/+25Alaska: the Schadenfreude State!
- chrissku, on 10/27/2008, -7/+32The Drudge Report has nothing in regards to the Ted Stevens guilty verdict. If this was a Democrat Matt Drudge would've had 250 pt font in red letters with about 20 sirens flashing above.
This will be the straw that breaks the camel's back for the repubs. Any shot McCain had went out the window with this verdict.
Don't worry repubs....we'll have the opportunity to show what we think of you on November 4th. You showed us what you thought of us for the last 8 years. We're going to make sure you don't get to ***** us in the ass anymore. - KibblesnBitts, on 10/27/2008, -0/+24I'll send him a consoling personal Internet....he might not receive his Internet for a couple of days though
- inactive, on 10/27/2008, -0/+24It's not a big truck
- christopheles, on 10/27/2008, -0/+24They'll have to get a big truck to haul away all his stuff
- hawkspur, on 10/27/2008, -0/+24What are bars if not simply solid tubes?
- mrASSMAN, on 10/27/2008, -1/+24Steven's political career is not a big truck, it's a series of lies. But it can be dumped on.
- Ne007, on 10/27/2008, -1/+23now banish him to a life of luxury and pampering....
- fadeout, on 10/27/2008, -2/+23Stevens endorsing Palin for Governor: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o46YdvT3lwQ
- snkscore, on 10/27/2008, -1/+22Prison is not a dump truck!
It's a series of tubes! - emotecontrol, on 10/27/2008, -0/+20If they don't win the election, who cares? They can just blame it on Bush, like they're going to blame everything else on Bush when they come crawling back in two years for the next round of elections. "No, that wasn't us. That was some other Republicans. Bad Republicans. We're good Republicans."
- inactive, on 10/27/2008, -0/+20Ah, the goodness of real America.
- evilpolitians, on 10/27/2008, -1/+20Oh no he wouldn't!!! That will be the final nail in the coffin for the Repubs....
- mrASSMAN, on 10/27/2008, -0/+19Well that sounds like a problem, the tubes are becoming clogged. Call Joe the Plumber, he's on speed-dial.
