They showed Stevens on CNN... all by himself walking down a long hallway.

[LiberalFighter]

Guess his friends are avoiding him.

[xultar]

1. They oughta frisk his ass and check for candlesticks and shit...the thief.

[Ishoutandscream2]

2. LOL, second time you've made me laugh today

You're on fire, Xultar!

[grantcart]

4. full cavity check -- good idea -- let him practice now for the weekly

check at the FED Pen

[EFerrari]

5. Is he really going to jail? I'd thought they'd let him do something else.

What a terrible way to wind up a career.

[Lost4words]

6. a career of corruption, he deserves more than he will get!

[EFerrari]

8. Sure. Deep down I feel just being someone like him is the worse punishment.

His Hell is wherever he goes. (I stole that from John Milton but it seems true.)

[grantcart]

11. I expect he will get some time

They threw the book at Cunningham and gave him something like 7 years and he was a decorated pilot that was the role model for Cruise's charachter in Top Gun.


I don't think that there is a lot of guidelines for bribery because the prosecutions are rare, but I think Judges view it as a severe crime and I would expect that he will get something - even a couple months.

[SuperTrouper]

15. No, George W. Bush will pardon him

[yourguide]

3. has he issued a statement yet?

conceded?

anything?

[Gato Moteado]

7. was it the green mile?

nt

[Gidney N Cloyd]

9. Does he get the sad music playing like Bill Bixby?

(Hulk nickname reference)

13. And now with a link:

10. Hot dog in a hallway

[rasputin1952]

12. He doesn't have any friends...he's a miscreant, those who

"hung around him" used him for his perceived power. Now that he's a convicted felon, people will avoid him like the plague. This is a GOOD thing, the next people that "greet" him, should be guards at a Federal Pen...:D

[AlinPA]

14. It is nice to see people like him end up in shame on a trash pile.

[political_Dem]

16. Don't worry. Like Nixon, someone will conjure up an appreciation for Stevens.

It always happens with the GOP somehow. They manage to make lemons out of lemonade. They'll scrub old Ted's faults and put him in a reverent place like Strom Thurmond, Ronald Reagan or Lee Atwater.

Unfortunately though, there are a lot of other people who will see through their BS when they do it.
