RIP Senator Stevens.
His death is official then. Prayers for his soul and his family.
Also being reported on KMOX via CBS news.
Prayers...
Was wondering about this...I feared it was Sarah Palin.
It’s not official until it’s on the Wikipedia page.
This is a double tragedy. First that he was killed second he lost his Senate seat due to a corrupt politically motivated hit job designed to rob him of his seat.
Alaska got a straight down the line Dem Rat that has voted with Obama agenda everytime.
prayers for Alaska.
Dang! I'm so sorry. You're right.
Yes.
RIP
Actually they’ve locked the page from updates, although it does mention the crash and notes that his aide said he was killed.
I always enjoyed it when he wore the “incredible Hulk” ties on the Senate floor...OTOH...he should have retired and not run, while facing indictments...but he thought he was invincible..
Fox News reporting it now.
HotAirPundent is the only one reporting this death without a source. I’m not saying it ain’t so, but I’d wait for something more credible before sending the RIPs.
Prayers to all the families of the victims.
RIP
As elections near, let us not forget how the loathsome Dems took his job away with multiple charges and a “conviction” just before the 2008 elections. He was subsequently exonerated of all charges and convictions AFTER the election. Plan for this to happen en mass this November.
It was on wikipedia before his death was confirmed. Sometime after 7am EST.
My prayers go out to Ted Stevens and his family. RIP
