The Ted Stevens convictions sound great, but....

[ThatsMyBarack]

What were the convictions for?

I also heard he's not going to jail for any of them because Bush will pardon him. How is this possible so close to the end of Dumbya's eight long years as pResident (85 days to go!)?

14. He was convicted for lying about corrupt gifts.

Why are we always poking into the steaming turds looking for pearls? Corrupt Republican Senator Convicted. A big steaming turd that the Republicans are stuck with. Let them figure out how to spin this as anything good. Let them spend the next few days trying to get this out of the news. The clock is ticking...
