		<description>Make a note of it, Republican from the same state pleads Stevens as innocent.  Wonder if there is some collusion in the background ?  Some common dirt ?</description>

		<description>What does he expect - a jury composed of oil company executives?  D.C. is the jurisdiction, that&#039;s where it gets decided.  Period.  If one were to rule the verdict unfair on those grounds, then no sitting Senator could ever be indicted for anyth - oh wait, I get it now.</description>

		<description>Dear Don,

Although it&#039;s true that D.C. residents &quot;don’t look favorably on the Congress,&quot; more importantly, they don&#039;t favorably on cheap crooks.

Please memorize. You will be tested later.</description>

Because the only campaign strategy they have left that can keep them in the White House is convincing enough Americans that black people aren&#039;t &quot;real Americans&quot; and a vote for a black man will put &quot;real America&quot; at risk.</description>

		<description>&quot;Maybe he should check with his allies over at RedState, who posted an article asking Alaskans not to vote for Stevens or Young. They’re endorsing a Democrat?&quot;

The comments on that article over there are hilarious because they&#039;re patting themselves on the back for making a (self-interest based) stand against a Republican and claiming that they&#039;ve never heard any Democrats on their site making such a bold stance against Jefferson... uh... maybe they would if they didn&#039;t ban them all.

Too funny.</description>

		<description>Rep. Young is the next one going down.  He&#039;s go his own legal difficulties:

&lt;em&gt;In April 2008, top Senate Democrats and Republicans supported asking the Justice Department for a criminal investigation of the $10 million earmark. Young&#039;s staff acknowledged that aides &quot;corrected&quot; the earmark just before it went to the White House for President Bush&#039;s signature, specifying that the money would go to the proposed highway interchange project. Young said that the project was entirely worthy of an earmark and that he welcomed any inquiry, a spokeswoman said. Young&#039;s office said that presentations made by Florida Gulf Coast University officials and the developers proved the case for the project.

Federal investigation

On July 24, 2007, the Wall Street Journal reported that Young was under federal investigation for possibly taking bribes, illegal gratuities or unreported gifts from VECO Corporation, an Anchorage-based company. The top two executives of that company have already pleaded guilty to bribing members of the Alaska legislature.The Journal said a Veco executive held fundraisers called &quot;the Pig Roast&quot; for Young every August for ten years. Between 1996 and 2006, Young received $157,000 from Veco employees and its political action committee. In the first half of 2007, Young spent more than $250,000 of campaign contributions for legal fees. &lt;/em&gt;

		<description>The people of DC may not trust Stevens, but Colin Powell sure did:
http://www.adn.com/news/politics/fbi/stevens/story/551875.html


&lt;blockquote&gt;One of the nation&#039;s best-known retired Army generals, Colin Powell, described Sen. Ted Stevens in court today as a &quot;trusted individual&quot; and a man with a &quot;sterling&quot; reputation.

&quot;He was someone whose word you could rely on,&quot; said Powell, secretary of state in President Bush&#039;s first term, who self-deprecatingly described himself as someone who retired as the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and then &quot;dabbled a bit in diplomacy.&quot;&lt;/blockquote&gt;</description>

<p>Um, no &#8212; I think Stevens was convicted because the evidence showed he was guilty.  Why can&#8217;t these people understand that sometimes a cigar is just a cigar (and a guilty verdict is due to actual guilt instead of an agenda)?<a href="javascript:void(0)" title=""  onmouseover="window.status=''; return true" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true" onclick="ddrc_popup('http://thinkprogress.org/wp-content/plugins/dd-report-comments/report.php?c=5310320', 400, 400)"></a></p>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;You have to understand that this was not a jury of his peers. It was in Washington, D.C. , which most people in Washington, D.C., don’t look very favorably on the Congress because we run them. I don’t know why anybody didn’t bring that out. They’re not a self-governing city like they say they are. We actually make decisions for them. Makes us very, very suspicious.&lt;/i&gt;



The only thing you run , you smug , stupid , sonofab!tch , is your idiotic mouth.......

You work for US , jerkoff ; that means ALL OF US , and not the &quot;real America&quot; parts that the McDepends camp contends exists ..............</description>

		<description>Stevens was convicted because he is corrupt and a crook.  Don Young should consider his own future is such matters.  There is only one place for these corrupt politicians; it is in the general population of a real prison.</description>
