Rep. Young wants Ted Stevens to run against Sarah Palin.
During a radio interview yesterday, corrupt Congressman Don Young (R-AK) expressed his hope that the corrupt former Senator from Alaska, Ted Stevens, might make a run against the corrupt Governor of Alaska, Sarah Palin:
“Personally I’d like to see him run for governor, and that’s my personal feeling,” Young told the Alaska Public Radio Network on Thursday. “So, we’ll see what happens down the line. He probably won’t, but I think that would be a great way to cap off a great career as being the governor of the state of Alaska.”
TNR’s Jason Zengerle writes, “Maybe that’s why Sarah Palin wants Mark Begich to give his Senate seat back to Stevens: less competition.”

Popcorn time!
April 3rd, 2009 at 4:16 pmWell maybe, Mark Begich ought to re-think his “moderate” BS, now that all the Repugs of Alaska show what they really want..
April 3rd, 2009 at 4:19 pmAhh.. nothing like desperation. Let the Repugs eat their own. Poor Sarah! Can’t get a break. Now the Repugs are looking to knock her out of the competiton. LOL!

April 3rd, 2009 at 4:27 pmThey’re a real nowhere pair,
Sitting in their nowhere lair,
Showing all their nowhere flair
For nobody.
Do not have a point of view,
April 3rd, 2009 at 4:30 pmKnow not what they read or do,
Neither one a bit like you
Or me
HMMM a corrupt ex Senator vs a corrupt Governor.
April 3rd, 2009 at 4:30 pmSounds very Republican to me.
Teh Stupid! It Burns!
April 3rd, 2009 at 4:31 pmOT
Republican Sen. Richard Burr of North Carolina is delaying the nomination vote and swearing-in of injured Iraq veteran Tammy Duckworth for a top post in the Veterans Affairs administration. His actions angered some veterans groups Friday.
Obstruct. Obstruct. Obstruct.
April 3rd, 2009 at 4:35 pmThievin’ Stevens and Failin’ Palin . . . now there’s a pair to draw to!
That could be quite a competition. Perhaps they should both start the campaign by disclosing just how much money, goods and services were “donated” in the building of each of their houses. That could be very interesting.
April 3rd, 2009 at 4:36 pmIf it will rid us of that witch, then I’m all for it.
April 3rd, 2009 at 4:36 pmEither would be perfect in a general should the Dems run someone qualified. I think the days of Alaska being blood red are running short.
The choice on the GNOP side would be a corrupt ex-senator who takes bribes from Big Oil vs. a corrupt sitting gov who steals money directly from the citizens (per diem? traveling clan? building supplies for the House that Dud Built?)
At least I can dream…
PEACE
April 3rd, 2009 at 4:38 pmSome republicans actually realize that Palin is a loser for the party, but to think that convicted (charges dropped did not indicate innocence) Ted Stevens at 85 is a better option is laughable.
April 3rd, 2009 at 4:40 pmAnything that would make Bimbostien go away couldnt be a bad thing
April 3rd, 2009 at 4:40 pmMarie, I’m sure Senator Burr has a “Support the Troops” magnet on his SUV. What more could the Vets want?
PEACE
April 3rd, 2009 at 4:41 pmFrankly I can’t wait to see her have to endure a real primary, whether that’s between herself and Stevens or when she winds up in Iowa for 7 months trying to somehow win an election without doing a single interview, press conference, or debate.
April 3rd, 2009 at 4:42 pmpoor old Alaska.
our friends up there deserve so much better.

April 3rd, 2009 at 4:48 pmThat’s just the people of Alaska need – That old crook with his hands on a fresh pile of money.
April 3rd, 2009 at 4:51 pmMy god, I wish I could move back the hands to early August 2008, when I’d never heard of Sarah Palin.
April 3rd, 2009 at 5:00 pmRep. Young defines the GOP.
Ability and ethics are unimportant as long as you are pro-Jebus and anti-gay.
April 3rd, 2009 at 5:07 pmWhy is it that when dems describe someone as having a great career, they characterize things as great society programs, environment,worker, and consumer protection, endangered species protection, etc., but when a repub defines GREAT CAREER, they usually mean longevity, such as Jesse Helms, or Strom Thurmond.
Republicans can spend a lifetime in office, and have absolutely NOTHING positive to take pride in later.
Except maybe funnelling as much money to their state as possible.
April 3rd, 2009 at 5:16 pmWell this may just be interesting.
It can go either of two ways; they can drag out all their dirty laundry to beat each other over the head with or they can play nice and stick to the issues people care about.
hmmm…
April 3rd, 2009 at 5:20 pm24. I’m hoping on the former. Not to mention with Palin involved, I certainly expect her to go all mavericky and drag out all the dirty laundry.
You betcha !
April 3rd, 2009 at 5:24 pmThere’s a third possibility, pastcaring ceratopogonidae.
They could stage a contest of which one is most delusional, dogmatic, and just plain insane. Those seem to be the stirling virtues of a modern Reichwhiner.
April 3rd, 2009 at 5:26 pmMe too!!! Palin served as the director of a 527 fundraising group called Ted Stevens Excellence in Public Service, Inc., for Ted Stevens.
I’m sure she knows something!
April 3rd, 2009 at 5:31 pmMaybe Ted would blow a gasket…and that would be great reality t.v.! Or Pay-Per-View.

I would only pay if I was guaranteed that Bible Spice ends up rolling on the floor and “speaking in tongues” or, at least, brings her witch-hunting Pastor to protect her from witches and demons.
April 3rd, 2009 at 5:42 pmTo top it off, they should throw in Little Bobby J as a referee.
April 3rd, 2009 at 5:49 pmIt would be a sight for the ages!
Anybody remember that old song ” they smile in your face, but they want to take your place their back stabbers”. Now watch Uncle Ted run for Govenor. Yes Sarah is in the hot seat anyway and Ted needs a job to steal money. At his age it’s about the best he can do right now. Sarah tossed Uncle Ted under the bus when she thought she was going to be Vice President. Yes Sarah’s plans of knocking off old man McCain and sliding into the Oval Office. Now Uncle Ted will look for a new way to steal from the Alaskan taxpayers. George W. Bush knows alot about back stabbers as that’s what Republicans do best. Govenor Ted Stevens wins the fixed election for Govenor with Karl Rove’s help.
April 3rd, 2009 at 5:51 pmIt’s like Hee-Haw but with an edge!

That would be fun but, while Jindal is stupid enough, he’s not white enough or crazy enough. I’m holding out for Glenn Beck as the moderator of the debates.
April 3rd, 2009 at 5:56 pmWhaaaat!?! Did you NOT hear his Mr. Rogers-esque rebuttal to Obama’s speech before Congress?
But…OTOH, Beck would be interesting as long as he brings his pet fish Larry along to co-moderate.
April 3rd, 2009 at 6:00 pmYes. I saw Jindal’s speech, pastcaring ceratopogonidae. I subscribe to the opinion that he’s so effing stupid he sounds crazy. Beck, on the other hand, is so crazy that he sounds stupid. Plus, he’s stupid as all Hell too.
April 3rd, 2009 at 6:13 pmVery well put pete.
I don’t know if Beck is more of a clown than O’Reilly.
I do know they’re both crazy liars and that I cannot stand either one.
April 3rd, 2009 at 6:15 pmAnd when Jindall talks it just feels like you’d want to wash something off of your skin.

Actually, with republicans it usually means the indictments didn’t stick…
April 3rd, 2009 at 6:16 pmOr…their buddies pardoned them or f’ed up an investigation.
April 3rd, 2009 at 6:18 pmWell, if we are going to explore their relative glaring faults, pastcaring ceratopogonidae:
Jindal is stupid.
April 3rd, 2009 at 6:36 pmBeck is stupid and unbalanced.
Bill0 is dishonest, vindictive, bigoted, self-absorbed, and just plain mean.
Let me sum up…they’re all savage b@stards.
April 3rd, 2009 at 6:42 pmHypocrites, Liars & Thieves, they give the gun & knife club a run for its money.

True enough. Natural selection has worked its “magic” and left the GOP with the most rabidly Reichwing, and disgustingly antisocial, elements of our society. Heck! They might even manage to drive a wedge between the Psycochristians(TM) and the Wall Street Republicans.
Now that’s a battle I would pay a hefty price to see.
April 3rd, 2009 at 6:57 pmI’d like to see Faux news run a poll that would ask who would win in this race.
Personally I think Palin vs. Stevens for the Governor of Alaska would be the greatest comedy of errors we could ever hope for.
We need to start rubbing their noses together to see if we can get this one rolling.
April 3rd, 2009 at 7:44 pmSaruhh could buy Teddy off by sending Todd and his buddies over to remodel the chalet.
April 3rd, 2009 at 8:12 pmI hear they work really fast.
Former Sen. Stevens needs to retire and be glad that he’s free. Stevens should be so happy that he’s not serving out the rest of his days in prison. Shyte, he needs to go fly fishing or something! Palin needs to serve out the rest of her term as Gov. and run in 2012 because she’s a religious nut that is extremely entertaining! I’ll enjoy watching her silly azz get clowned again!
April 3rd, 2009 at 9:19 pmPerhaps Stevens would have done better in the election if this decision has come before the election, but i doubt it.
This decision was for the protection of the justice system and does not go to the guilt or innocence of Mr. Stevens.
This decision in no way redeems Mr. Stevens, but Palin and Stevens will pick at it anyway as if it does, and sway some people that aren’t paying attention. Pretty pathetic but tricking people is what they do.
April 3rd, 2009 at 10:43 pmHey Faiz…speaking of corrupt governors, did I miss your piece on Blago?
April 3rd, 2009 at 11:01 pmLooks like Saruhhh is already assembling her “plumbers” unit…

April 4th, 2009 at 6:19 pmI’m alright
Nobody worry ’bout me
Why you got to gimme a fight?
Can’t you just let it be?
I just keep telling myself this as I drove by Bidens house as saw Barney Frank on his hands and knees with Chris Dodd standing on his back and Charlie Rangle standing on Dodd’s shoulders and “Jack” Murtha standing on Rangles shoulders and Tax cheat Turbo Tim Geithner standing on Murtha’s shoulders cleaning out Bidens gutters with “Limo” Tom Dashel camera ready……..the world has officially gone mad!
