Another one convicted. "Sen. Stevens found guilty on corruption charges."

"Stevens guilty on all counts. Oct. 27: Alaska's Sen. Ted Stevens has been found guilty on seven counts of making false statements."

"WASHINGTON - Alaska Sen. Ted Stevens was convicted of corruption charges Monday in a trial that tainted the 40-year Senate career of Alaska's political patriarch.
Stevens, 84, was convicted of all seven charges he faced of lying about free home renovations and other gifts he received from a wealthy oil contractor. Jurors began deliberating Wednesday at noon."

Between "Wide-Stance" Craig, Stevens, Abramoff, etc., and so on that Republican contingent back East sounds more like a weird biker gang than anything.

- By the way. 7 felony convictions and he's still running. What's meant by "no shame". - Bowser - 10/27/2008 11:15:09 PM
  - Hey, Colin Powell endorsed him! - TB - 10/28/2008 3:44:36 AM
    - Thats right, TB. A character witness at a criminal trial... - Yeti - 10/28/2008 4:15:01 AM
      - I see. Powell endorsing Steven's character makes him MUCH more credible. - TB - 10/28/2008 2:26:51 PM
        
        And the right's destruction of Powell... - McFly - 10/28/2008 3:47:13 PM
        
        No, but it might lead to a lighter sentence or perhaps conviction on lesser counts - Yeti - 10/28/2008 3:30:40 PM
        
        So, Powell was right about Stevens' character? - TB - 10/28/2008 3:45:43 PM
        
        Insofar as he had knowledge of Stevens, yes. - Mary Anne - 10/29/2008 12:07:59 PM
        
        Powell said that politically the guy stood up. Period. Nothing more. Get it? (n/t) - Bowser - 10/28/2008 11:07:55 PM

      - I just know your head can explode before the election! - Doug Ellison - 10/28/2008 7:18:07 AM
- Looks like another senate seat, then, that just *might* go democratic that a year ago was as red as it gets. (n/t) - Yeti - 10/27/2008 7:50:08 PM
  - Another Bush pardon in the works? (n/t) - Bowser - 10/27/2008 11:04:06 PM
    - That's what I figure. - Eri - 10/28/2008 1:04:58 AM

        He'll never go to jail. He'll be pardonned. - Eri - 10/28/2008 2:46:31 AM
