Hulk, Smashed
Ladies and gentlemen, may I present to you the single most powerful argument in favor of Senatorial term limits, Senator Ted Stevens, convicted felon:
WASHINGTON — 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.
Stevens, 84, was convicted of all the felony charges he faced of lying about free home renovations and other gifts from a wealthy oil contractor. Jurors began deliberating last week.
Who’d have thunk it, Alaska’s proto-maverick, a sledneck from way back, a foot-stamping, tantrum pitching, grown-up toddler in a stupid, stupid tie, a liar? A crook? I’m shocked, SHOCKED!
Well, he is, after all, a Republican, and “corrupt, arrogant, money-grubbing slimeball” is their default setting.
Good luck in the pokey, you sanctimonious old prick. Don’t drop the soap!

sadly, the crook could still be re-elected.
here’s my tinfoil hat scenario. stevens squeeks out a win, then resigns his seat leaving our favorite perky governor to appoint his replacement. she then appoints her husband to the vacancy. you know that bitch wants out of alaska - and baaaaad.

Au contraire! Please do. After Stevens fucking the American people all these years, it is only just that at least some of us get the opportunity to return the favor.
