Ted "A Series of Tubes" Stevens Found Guilty
techmuse writes "According to a series of tubes sites, Senator Ted Stevens has been found guilty of lying about free home renovations that he received from an oil contractor. He faces up to 5 years in jail, and the outcome of his current reelection bid is now in doubt. 'The conviction came after a tumultuous week in the jury room. First there were complaints about an unruly juror, then another had to be replaced when she left Washington following the death of her father. Finally, jurors on Monday discovered a discrepancy in the indictment that had been overlooked by prosecutors. Jury deliberations in this historic trial have at times been as contentious as some of the proceedings The Justice Department indicted Stevens on July 29, and the Alaska Republican took a huge legal gamble and asked for a speedy trial in order to resolve the charges before Election Day. Judge Emmet Sullivan complied with Stevens' request, and in less than three months from the time of his indictment, Stevens was found guilty.'"
Once Palin-McCain wins yes.
Pretty much to late for anyone else to do damage to the M/P ticket. M's selection of P as his running mate took care of what little was left of his credibility.
You didn't just... seriously... describe the Reagan defense as "good"? Please, seriously?
In the sense that he literally got away with murder, drug dealing, and aiding and abetting terrorists it was a good defense.
In the sense that justice was completely miscarried and Congress's cowardly failure to hold him and the rest of that pack of traitors accountable led to them coming back in the current administration to continue their crimes against this nation, it was a bad thing.
Obviously some people who STILL support Bush's administration are modding tonight. -1 Troll? That is ridiculous.

The trouble with reaganomics is, if everyone is saving, nobody is consuming, and consumption is a far greater factor in our GDP.
You fail Economics 101.
