There is justice in the world at times, and this is one of those times! Another Republican crook bites the dust. In an extra dose of justice, Steven's either has to give up his fight for his Senate seat ( drop out of the race ) or run as a convicted felon.
Ted Stevens, the longest-serving Republican senator in history and patriarch of Alaska politics, was convicted Monday of all seven felony charges for making false statements.
Shortly before 4 p.m., the jury convicted the 84-year-old senator for making false statements by failing to report more than $250,000 in gifts from Bill Allen, the former head of Veco Corp., and other friends.
Stevens has yet to indicate if he will appeal the charges.
Sentencing has been put off until February 23, 2009. Dear old Ted is looking at up to 5 years prison time on each count.
It looks as if the Democrats will be getting one step closer to that magic 60 in the Senate.
