Ted Stevens--Another Republican Gone Bad

Timing is everything. Ted Stevens, senator from Alaska, was convicted today of an ethics breach, just days before his reelection, and he thinks he is going to win. Really? I guess he does. He could get up to five years in prison, but because he is in his 80s, he would probably get a lesser sentence. And he is the longest-serving Republican in the Senate's history, so I know he would hope for a pardon from George W.

All I can say is Yeouch! What bad timing for the Repubs. But good timing for the Dems!
