What about William Jefferson Democrat La.

[buffyt]

I was surprised they went after him for such a small thing, compared to the rest of the corrupt office holders in DC etc.

[ABQHispConservative]

Fellow Alaskans, just to irritate the MSM, vote him in. I understand that he is corrupt, but no less than the majority of the rats in congress. He just got caught.

If elected he’ll have to resign and his seat will go to a Republican, but it would rub the MSM and Democrats to no end. I’m sure the hope is for Republicans to write-in somebody else, but why give the rats the satisfaction.

The objective of the rats is their filibuster proof senate, which would be a grave danger to this great county. Why even risk it?

I wonder if Bush will pardon him after the election just to fly the middle finger at democrats?

By the sound of it, Stevens was as guilty as sin and probably should rot in jail, but it would be almost worth it to poke democrats in the eye one last time before leaving office.

Thank God. I am sorry that he is a Republican, but he was a crook first. The weird thing is that I thought they were on hold until one of the jury members went to their father’s funeral. I didn’t think they were going to deliberate until Wednesday. Oh well I must have got the info wrong. Anyway this is good news for America!!!

[Ultra Sonic 007]

Given that Stevens apparently checked 'yes' on receiving gifts...why?

[Soul Seeker]

Should I be upset?

[around the world]

From what I’ve read he’s unlikely to get prison time and he’s said he has every intention of returning to the Senate. So all the goodbyes and good riddances may be premature.

[americanophile]

Thanks for not resigning and giving another Republican a chance to hold onto that seat, Ted. Selfish old bastard.

William Jefferson - Democrat, Louisiana - NEXT!

[dr_who]

All’s well that ends well for the blight of the GOP.

[cva66snipe]

What irony. The man who refused to convict and remove the Liar in Chief is convicted himself. Don't let the door hit ya on the way out Ted.

[soycd]

He should have stepped down before this so we could have retained the seat.

[RasterMaster]

If Stevens had been a DUmocrat, he’d get a committee chairman position out of it.

[SunkenCiv]

deliberately failed to disclose on mandatory Senate financial disclosure forms more than $250,000 in home renovations and other gifts from the oil company VECO and its chief executive officer, Bill Allen.

Good timing!

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

Wonder if this will affect his reelection.

[April Lexington]

These are the *ssholes who have ruined our party and have brought us to the threshold of a Marxist takeover. We should execute him.
