Stevens giving farewell address on Capitol Hill now

[malaise]

on GEM$NBC and Span 2 now.
What a shameless bastard.

[yellowcanine]

1. Did he bring up the internet tubes?

:rofl:

I will pass. I doubt my stomach could take it and I would like to eat lunch in a little while.

[malaise]

3. "My motto has been 'to hell with politics'"

What a piece of tubes - :puke:.
Oh now he has been blessed by god to serve and he bears no ill will to any member of this body.

This is all arrogance, bluster and hubris. Not one fucking iota of shame.

[Lerkfish]

2. why give a forum to a convicted felon who lost the election?

I really don't get the fascination the MSM has with loser felon republicans.

[malaise]

5. And he receives applause and a standing ovation from

some members.

meanwhile the Bush goons dragged Siegelman out of court in shackles on trumped up charges. The only appropriate comment is 'Jackass say the world isn't level'. Fuck you Ted Stevens.

[my2sense]

4. Don't they have more important things to do

rather than listen to a washed up felon blab on and on.

:puke:

[L. Coyote]

6. We know what sort of character was there for 40 years ... says a lot about Republican politics

since 1968----corrupt to the core for four decades folks!!!

8. I hope Reid counts the silverware in the Senate dining room as Stevens is leaving.

Shouldn't Stevens be "walked out?" Shouldn't someone stand there and watch him as he cleans out his desk? Gotta make sure he doesn't take any office supplies with him...

[yellowcanine]

16. Not to mention the copper plumbing and the fixtures in the bathroom.

Make sure that stuff doesn't end up in his "chalet".

9. Is he wearing hs Hulk tie?...

:rofl:

10. CNN began with the headline "Stevens treasures his time in the Senate"

Someone at CNN has a sense of humor.

[malaise]

12. Perfect

:rofl:

[LSK]

11. Byrd is getting worked up

[AlCzervik]

13. i'm sure the executives at Boeing are crying their eyes right now.

[VP505]

14. I had C-Span on,

listened to Stevens and Reid but when McChinless started his spiel I turned it off, I couldn't stomach any more of the love fest for that 7 count convicted felon.

[spanone]

15. adios teddy boy

[aquart]

17. Buh bye.

[Iggo]

18. Yeah, See ya. (n/t)

[Bozita]

19. Is he resigning today?

[malaise]

22. Isn't this the last sitting of this Senate group? n/t

[LSK]

20. Byrd is up now

[SidDithers]

21. Quite the little love-in they're having...

seems a bit, um, innapropriate, for a 7-time convicted felon, doesn't it?

Sid

[malaise]

23. Yep and they'll give him the gift wrapped pension

after gushing over the criminal. LIEberman up now - I have the link on mute.
