Jefferson is corrupt and deserves prison, but so does Stevens.
We should not lay out the other side's corruption because it makes Conservatism look defensive and petty.
Here it is: Sen. Stevens broke the law. Punish him for it - and punish every politician who does it.
When Republicans get caught, it only hurts us to point fingers at others.
It is better for us to say: "Yup - he did wrong and if the courts find him/her guilty, they deserve their punishment."
