Go figure

So. Election day voters, who should have known that Ted Stevens had seven felony convictions under his belt, were more likely to vote for him than early and absentee voters. I guess his bullshit denial that he had been convicted of anything (pending appeal) worked.

Now I understand how Alaska could elect Sarah Palin. It probably is better for one's sanity to think of politics as entertainment. Not however better for one's government...

Courage of his convictions

Jaw-dropping. Orwellian. Will pretend that words don't mean what we all know they mean.

Oh, and he's still wearing a pin of the flag he has besmirched.

I can't wait to see Begich's ad. I would mock Stevens as hopelessly self-deluded. But I'd also use the phrase "convicted felon."
