Huh. You know, I hate to be especially partisan so close on the heels of the resounding ass-whoopin' the NeoCons earned themselves, but WTF is wrong with Alaska voters????

Stevens gets convicted of 7 felonies. 7 FELONIES!!!! And somehow he still gets reelected into the Senate. I truly can't believe it. I knew that Bush managed to hyper-energize the crazy vote, but .... Wow. I have to wonder if these people were on one of their precious Boards of Directors whether they'd allow someone to be the CEO/CFO of their company with 7 Felony convictions for fraudulent money reporting.

Yeah no kidding. I could not believe that either.

Quite a number of Alaskan residents likely hold an opinion deep in their hearts which says, 'Fuck the law!'

This is one of their many ways of expressing it.

It's quite anti-establishment to vote a convicted felon into office.

If he were not elected, there would be a Democratic Senator now.
Now that he's elected, the governor gets to appoint his successor.
That's Governor Sarah Palin who gets to do that.
It will surely be an ultraconservative Republican.
She might even appoint herself.
