Another one bites the dust

Congrats to Mark Begich on beating Ted Stevens or as I now refer to him, convicted felon and the worst Senator ever! Your victory keeps one felon out of the the US Senate and it keeps the village idiot Palin back home for at least 6 years.

The Ted Stevens corruption trial verdict is in!

Count #1-GUILTY Count #2-GUILTYCount #3-GUILTY

Count #4-GUILTYCount #5-GUILTYCount #6-GUILTYCount #7-GUILTY

It's a bad day, month, year, whatever, to be an entrenched Washington DC Republican.

One wonders if he'll manage to win re-election to the US Senate, if he does then there is something seriously wrong with Alaskan voters, besides the whole electing Palin governor in the first place.

Get down with ya bad selves

This is another reminder that the Democrats are not the problem to legislative gridlock in Washington DC. From Think Progress:

UPDATE: (Republican Senator from Alasksa Ted) Stevens has threatened to place a hold on the “Democratic-drafted ethics legislation just passed by the House and expected on the Senate floor by week’s end. The senator told a closed session of fellow Republicans today, including Vice President Dick Cheney, that he was upset that the measure would interfere with his travel to and from Alaska — and vowed to block it.”
