Guilty! With an Explanation:(

[captainsblog]

As one of my favorite comics of all-time said about another sleazy lying Republican:

There's an excellent chance that Ted Stevens will be able to see his prison cell from Alaska!

Here's the part I don't like, though.

His conviction does not automatically disqualify him from Senate membership, nor does it take him off the ballot from his current race to reclaim that seat. Given what we know about the overall intelligence of the Alaskan electorate, it's not only possible but darned likely that Mister ConvicTed will win re-election. Then, after Election Day, he could choose to resign, or his Senate colleagues could vote to expel him.  Either way, guess who gets to nominate his successor?

You betcha.

And assuming (hoping, praying, EXPECTING, dammit!) that she's not calling Mayflower Van Lines and Neiman-Marcus to arrange a move to Washington after next week anyway, I think it's a near-certainty that she'll appoint her own hot self to the open seat.

There's been some dueling discussion about this gubernatorial privilege under Alaska law, but the provisions I've read, which call for a special election to fill a US Senate vacancy, do not apply if the vacancy occurs within 60 days of a primary election for the same seat or after that election.  Once appointed, I'm sure she'll begin using her bull(shitt)y pulpit to get the job for herself permanently, keeping her well in the public eye until 2012.

We haven't seen the last of this witch- but the first of her turns my stomach!

Our very own personal sleezy lying democrat, Rep. William Jefferson, not only won an election after they found 92,000 in bribe money in his freezer, but has gotten enough votes for the run off in the nov election despite being under indictment. Or does it only count if it's one of us sleezy republican liars ;>

I would not dignify her by the term "witch".

Let's borrow a term from McCain's own playbook: "cunt".

I most sincerely apologize.

Ugh. That's a very real possibility. I can't stand Moose-ilini.
