    ...one of the dudes on the plane made some internet tube comparison. Is that the main reason why this story is posted? Surely there must be some other news more relevant to discuss rather than this one.

      Sarah Palin wouldn't kill off Stevens, She would kill off the NASA guy first because she thinks the world is 6,000 years old and the NASA guy would be able to disprove her backwards world view.

      NASA guy still alive, ergo, Sarah Palin didn't kill off Stevens.

    "Would you find it as hilarious if Maxine Waters died and someone posted "GOOD RIDDANCE?" Even a political thief like Stevens or Waters doesn't deserve to die."

    THAT statement is highly subjective, considering the damage they do.

    I'm fine with either one pushing daisies. Too bad it doesn't happen sooner and much more often.

    His part in the destruction of American politics for personal gain should be overlooked, after all he died and is now a saint.

    No shit you know I was watching the Wizard of Oz the other day and started to ponder, what the hell has happened to us. In Oz when the house fell on the evil fucking witch they sang a fucking joyous song lamenting and celebrating the loss of her life. You know why, she was a fucking cunt that deserved to die. She was evil she was a leach on society, she served no good and people where happy she died because, she was a determent to society, always took and never gave. So instead of all the, "have some reverence for the dead" crap we should be fucking partying in the street because this fucking ball scum finally met the ultimate justice. I hope he fucking burned for a while before he finally croaked. He has taken from my children mouth for his personal gain and then was smug about his above the law-ness. He got what he fucking deserved. I hope he rots in hell. I am so fucking glad he is dead because he is what is wrong with America. So I say "ding-dong the Senator is dead".

    Karma can only be handed by the universe.

    If Maxine waters was corrupt and used republican influence to get a felony conviction removed , why yes, I would say Good Riddance.

    Had he gone to prison instead of railroading the justice system, he would still be alive.

    How is THAT for karma?
