AP: Alaska Sen. Ted Stevens was convicted of seven corruption charges Monday in a trial that threatened to end the 40-year career of Alaska's political patriarch in disgrace. The verdict, coming barely a week before Election Day, increased Stevens' difficulty in winning what already was a difficult race against Democratic challenger Mark Begich. Democrats hope to seize the once reliably Republican seat as part of their bid for a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate.

Just a few days ago, the Obamatons had suddenly decided they liked the until-very-recently called "Uncle Tom" Powell, and of course they had always respected him, especially when he was Bush's SecState. ;/

Now he's standing up for Ted Stevens. Colin who? :lol:

Caught, prosecuted, tried, convicted in short order.

Fine.

What about Congressman William Jefferson, he who was caught with $90,000 in bribe money - cash! - hidden in his freezer? Why haven't we heard anything about him going to trial yet?

He has his election to win first, and after all the FBI gave him the money. I am sure lots of you will have experienced government agencies desperate to give you all someone elses money (and if you havent, you probably will after Nov 4th).
