Sen. Ted Stevens Reacts to His Conviction

[jstutz2003]

This is something you don't see on Fox. They will stand by their Republicans until they are out of office. They hardly touched the Ted Stevens conviction even after he was found guilty.

[RayAir1]

Support Ted Stevens - A man of convictions

[RiotActI]

& a bridge to nowhere

[doetim]

It turned out that for the last 8 years, every red state got more than a dollar back from the federal government for every dollar paid in tax and every blue state got less than a dollar back.

Thank god Bush and his corruptlicans won't be around anymore to subject Americans to more cronyism, corruption, wars, power abuse, lies...I could go on all night!

But Alaska is lucky, they get to keep all that good stuff that I just mentioned.

[doetim]

Alaska is SCARY!

They just re-elected on criminals, Ted Stevens and Donald Young. What does that say about the people who voted?

If Obama is a commie or socialist, then Alaskans are anarchists! Seems like you can get away with just about anything there.

Freakin' scary state!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[PakaLoLoDaddy]

Alaska is the state with the dumbest people. By far. This corrupt idiot was re-elected during his conviction as a felon. Alaskans are stupid!

[cubbiefan227]

he actually lost his re election

[scalliwagrx8]

Stevens got re-elected because of all the pork he has brought to Alaska. They have received more federal funding than their people put into the fed through taxes. It is a welfare state in that sense.

The dems are about to break their little piggy bank and take that money and give them a reason to cry.

The mandate Obama and the democrats have is huge and nothing about the way things went have anything to do with pacifying republicans especially of the Stevens type. Payback is the mandate.

[RepresentativeEAB]

I really hope you are right.

[cochranexyz]

You are right in that Alaska is pork city, but I think nothing will change. It will remain the same.

[2417448]

Now that he's reelected lets vote Alaska out of the union.

[hotchowder]

It looks like he's going to win the senate race... God damn Alaskans are stupid. Convicted for corruption and they still vote for him. The morons of that state need help... The Moose Queen still in charge, with corrupt ass senators by her side, that state is destined for greatness.

[shubot]

Very funny, Fox news chasing after one of their poster boys. This arrogant fool thinks he should be put back into the Senate. Fat chance dummy.

[Th3DirtyBird]

sike

[iwpoe]

And he replied "not answering you right now."

Nailed it!

[syxx573]

I wonder if they have internet in jail?

He could escape thru the series of tubes.

[Junkfoodjoe]

LOLOLLLLOLOLLOLROFL

[vagrantsoul32]

Well played sir, WELL PLAYED.

[PhiloCentinel]

I wonder if he still thinks the internets is a series of tubes..?

[fakespike]

so many corrupt republicans so little time!

[study1]

Repubs need to tell Stevens he quits or they are going to throw his convicted ass out of the senate. What a jerk. If he is re-elected he will be the 1st FELON to serve in the US Senate in the history of this country. Wonder if they'll hold his seat for him while he serves his prison term.

[cookimonstizzle]

Stevens for president 2012

[oppesdaman]

This election I just couldn't help but vote for the entire Democratic ticket.

They should just go ahead and investigate the rest of the repub party for shits&giggles. Might be suprised by what they would find.

[electric789]

shouldnt that evil fuck be in jail right now?

[atiedfly]

this is merely another example of the left-wing media unfairly hounding a conservative!!!! oh wait, it's FOX... nevermind.

[thereallurker]

Another corrupt Republican......

[marxbitesall]

This is ONLY the freakin tip of the iceberg people.

BOTH parties, who just screwed the people for 3/4 TRILLION dollars, are so F'g corrupt and crooked.

Morgan Democrat Obama welfarism OR Rockefeller Republican McCain warfarism are neither the answer for freedom and equality under the law. NEITHER are woirthy nor will uphold their oaths any better than Lincoln, Wilson, FDR or da f'ing Bushits

The duopoly wins every time. Partisanship and issue diffs are smoke, they collude more thn not

[Anticommunists4Obama]

A close election? Check out the clip by Musicians4Obama and pass it on.

[latentsun]

Run Ted Run

...Take Sarah back to Alaska too.

[cookimonstizzle]

Drop her off at my place instead >:)

[latentsun]

He should mention God and Patriotism to get out of his mess like most Republicans do.

[fastfashn]

Wow, why does FOX News HATE Americans? LOL

FOX News gets stuffed by a Retuglican. I love it.  Wheels are off the wagon.

[3Storm]

He's not listening to McCain? How idiotic can he be. First going against the American people now going against his own party.

[agnomen1]

hahahahaha! dumb evil sad republicans! i love republicans! they don't even need anyone to do them in!

[GretchenDawntreader]

he should pull a Palin and claim proudly that he's been cleared of all wrongdoing.

You know and I know that Alaska will re-elect him. Everyone in Alaska knows and knew he was corrupt. They admired his "maverick" spirit. He drove the pork truck back to his state for the cost of a few kickbacks.

He'll be re-elected. Count on it.

[tubester4567]

OMG these republicans.

[tecno57]

Stevens KNEW he was going to be found GUILTY. This way "BUSH" WILL PARDON HIM. JUST WATCH AND SEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

[latentsun]

84 years old with 8; 6 year terms. Faux News couldn't get a story from a Republican.

Fascinating.

[TuNnL]

Hey, Stevens is running for his dear life, and he knows hes screwed. Chris Wallace himself couldnt get a confession out of this guy.

[RPMenefee]

Now lets see if anyone can name any of the rest of the eight(8) serving Senators who are also convicted felons? Give you a hint they are all Democrats. Bet you never heard about it, but the Media isn't biased, Nooooooooooo, no way!

[chumchin]

So name um ..lol. This guy was making headlines before the campaign race was even into the end of the primaries so get off it. Hes the latest idiot to get caught is all. Mark Foley isnt one of your names i bet. Ill take an Eliot Spitzer over Mark Foley.

[ResParaCue]

You should tell your conservative pariah Bill Oreilly to start bitching about it then

[jjuran]

A US Senate seat is not something you just dump something on.

[TheBROMINSHIP]

if stevens happened to be a democrat, we wouldnt be hearing about this right now

[apodo7]

IT'S A SERIES OF TUBES!!!

[silverandblack68]

PALIN's pal is a REPUBLICAN FELON!!! Your Busted JACKASS!

[RPMenefee]

You are right, but he's not her pal. She's the reason for the investigation in the first place. She said she was going to clean up good 'old boy politics in Alaska and she did, even if it was the good 'old boys in her own party.

[davedoug]

you got caught buddy.

rest of your short life in jail.

no one's above the law.

you spoiled evil fuck.....

[whoo689]

Why the hell is this guy still allowed to run??? Shouldn't anyone who's been convicted go to jail and NOT be allowed to run again? Is this allowable in the Constitution or simple Senate rules or what?

[steve3847]

Let's not bring a convicted felon back to the US Senate, please.

[Gamingtrevor]

You can't drop an interview on the guy like that!!! He's not a dump truck!

[silverandblack68]

No your right he is not a dump truck. He is a Republican felon.

[Gamingtrevor]

With a series of tubes.

[UTBESUX]

I have never seen so many SCANDALS in the Republican party in my lifetime. 12 plus gay scandals including underage boys. One SEX scandal with an underage girl. The MALE PROSTITUTE in the White House, JEFF GANNON. So this is PALIN'S BUDDY, so she pals around with FELONS?

The Republican party has nearly destroyed America, I fear them more than Bin Laden! They have done far more harm! The enemy is within!

[soitgoes02]

I'm shocked!!!!! Another republican on the take? maybe abramoff can be his cell mate

[shortee4204real]

He's just one of many. He was too afraid to stand up for what he knows is right and now he gets blamed for what he should have addressed. This is nothing compared to the big picture. He might even be too much of a sissy to fess up to everything. Too much of a sissy to even save his name and his work. Too much of a sissy to even see that none of those people are friends or colleagues. Too much of a sissy to see that some people really are that cold and disgusting.

[PalaeoPalyGuy]

gibsonguy94: I seriously hope you're right, but I'm not holding my breath. Personally I hope he loses, Bush doesn't pardon him, and he serves at least five years in prison, but little if any of that is a realistic possibility.

[DillonX]

Stevens, in his elderly years, doesn't really think now that there is anything wrong with taking bribes to obtain government goodies.

He's been doing it for some many years it's like 2nd nature, & he wonders why anyone would care at this late date.

[dave777blaster]

a series of tubes noob rot in the slammer

hope you love bububa's huge ass hammer

[BoomerNavy70]

Will the last Republican being convicted of a felony please turn the lights off when you leave Washington.

7 more days and the Republican Party is going to have its ass handed to them.

[BoomerNavy70]

This guy is a bottom feeder.

What an example to set for our younger generation. Crime does pay afterall.

[historywillabsolve]

this piece of shit tried to kill the internet. i hope goes to prison and gets raped by bubba.

[raguv2000]

I am watching you through a series of tubesssssss

[rmsolom]

The Senate could have Stevens removed with a two-thirds vote. The question becomes, "Will they have the courage to do so?" Humm???

[PalaeoPalyGuy]

gibsonguy94: No, I'm an Alaskan and I'd be surprised if my fellows don't re-elect him. Most of the right-wing nut-jobs up here think he's been "railroaded", the conviction means very little to them except that "Outsiders just don't get Alaska". I've never voted for him, personally, I always felt he was a crook. What I see happening: Stevens wins, McLame/Falin lose, Bush pardons Stevens, then Stevens resigns before he's censured. Then Queen Palin anoints herself as his replacement.

[zapponsalvia]

The Fox News anchor looks genuinely sad! Too funny.

[tragicnation]

Alaskan Govenor Sarah Palin investigated for abuse of power and now Ted Stevens convicted of taking kickbacks from oil companies. I am beginning to see a pattern forming here.

[bleucheese14]

Gotta love them Alaskunts

[wesak87]

go fuck yourself.

[springmcdonald]

What an arrogant fool. Why do we have these people in office? Im a republican and conservative and part of that is ideology is holding a certain level of respect for the constituency when you foul up. Larry, Ted, and George W., Dick Cheney. Your outdated. You live in a world of Boss tells and the subordinates dont ask questions. Its not 1950 anymore, if thats how your fatehr raised you and where you draw your wealth of experience from its outdated.

[Coyulito]

thats why Obama says CHANGE! not on spending for the personal use of politicians but for all americans that live in The United States of America!

[onenewshoe]

Yes, he's going home, to the house Alaskans remodeled for him with taxpayer money. Go to jail mother-fucker!

[dave777blaster]

Bleat baa bleat a series of tubes

[tito45]

Shouldn't Steven's go to jail NOW ?? WTF

[Warnomore50]

They re elected that guy with 90 thousand dollars of bribe money in his freezer so this guy may still have a chance.

[manny4life]

oooops...someone got caught....

[writeronfire]

It's a series of tubes!

[selfmadetool]

He has a good amount of pep in his step for someone pushing 100. I don't think he should go to jail, though. He has served as a senator for over four decades, he's old and he doesn't pose a threat to society. Slap him with a fine and don't re-elect him.

[PersonalJesus348]

the problem is the people are dumb enough to re-elect him and he knows it.

[Pinz6X6]

Keep up the fight gramps, 60 will get us to the magic number.

He seems like a maveric rePUKElican.

This must be the fault of us Dems.

I bet Bill Clinton caused his problems.

[rogermoore27]

I expect the people of Alaska to still give him votes. He's very dishonest and he's die a liar. But wait a minute.....what about the compnay that provided him with these gifts? It doesnt matter if they provided the gifts willingly or inwillingly, they should be brought to answer for their dealings.

[dralavant]

lol that's suicide! The old man's dead if he does that.

[Pinz6X6]

With some time in a cell, he might be qualified to be president next time. Gramps is going to get free health care, room and board all at the goverment/tax payer expense. He must be a socialist.

[frankispassion8]

oh grandpa.

[srhabb]

Maverick has 2 definitions,

1. Someone who exhibits great independence in thought and action.

2. An unbranded range animal (especially a stray calf); belongs to the first person who puts a brand on it.

You be the judge of its proper use for these people.

[charlesandhisworld]

Dumbass.

[GammaRay1111]

Why wouldnt he be re-elected. From what we seen from the past 8 years is that americans like to re-elect dumb, corrupt douchebags.

[talkbackguy]

Number one reason for people to vote for him: He will give you everything you ever want because he is the messiah. there ya go summed it all up for the dems.

[chefsanders70]

another republican cockroach is exposed

[hannityforpres]

Right. There arent any democrap politicians who do anything wrong.

[Steadno]

Crooked just like Palin!

[DCvlog]

LOL

fucking hilarious

[ki6eki]

wait wait what was his conviction

[carmie1818]

"and do you think you can be re-elected at this point?"

"Absolutely...with help from Fox news"

[gavinv0415]

The Internet... "It's a series of TUBES!"

[Donyvi]

hahha, awesome formula for winning.

[MurasakiYugata]

Gee, I wonder why he's in such a bad mood.

[monkeypeopleofearth]

the sad thing is...felons cannot vote in federal and state elections, but in the United States they can run for our highest offices

Why would anybody vote for this convicted felon?

[dj99surf]

Arrogant.

[cookimonstizzle]

Stevens for pres '12

[forwardthinker82]

I get the feeling this guy has done other bad things.

[doubleastudios]

corruption runs america!!

[KLNDR]

Haha, the Fox News commentator looks so depressed when it cuts back to him in the studio. Classic.

"Oh shit, my party consists of crooks and religious fanatics bent on fighting only for their own self-interests." :(

[Integraalhelm]

Palin was pallin' around with this crook.

[Francebrasil]

Could also Fox go after Karl Rove with such energy???

[cookimonstizzle]

Sup parrotfag?

[allofyouarestupid]

Haha, that isn't even a intelligible sentence. learn some grammar douche.

[cookimonstizzle]

Capitalize your "L," faggot.

Your last sentence should read: "Learn some grammar, douche."

[CynicalSavior]

Alaska,

You elect Palin your Governor, and there's a chance you may send this convicted felon back to Washington to represent you?

WTF Alaska? WTF?

[victorseastrom]

Alaska, ball is in your court. You have the opportunity to show the rest of the country that you are people who make sound, rationale decisions based on the rule of law and the spirit of democracy--OR you can re-elect Stevens.

[McCainTheTurdburglar]

Longest serving Republican in the Senate and he is a TOTAL FUCKING CROOK!

[carolinablew]

Convicted felons can vote if they have served all of their time whether it was in prison or if they have been released from parole/probation. There is nothing special they need to do in order to have their rights as citizens restored in order to vote.

[GodKillerAtheist]

A republican that did something WRONG???? never! LOL

[jnycnuk]

this must be terribly painful for fox. after propping up the republican party and all republicans they now have to throw one of their own under the bus.

[loki3692]

Doesn't this make him a felon and if so doesn't that mean he can't even vote for himself?

[robinvan1983]

i know what he will say at his house: "if you believe by your poll that the democrat will win, i don't believe that."

[nadreev]

Isn't it true that convicted felons can't vote in an election?

There should be a law that they can't be a candidate in an election.

Ted Stevens is a disgrace and a joke.

[Richardgwm]

That home from which he will be making his statement, is that the same home he received as a bribe?

[monkeypeopleofearth]

Senator Ted Stevens is a DISGRACE

[leepakim]

so what? he served the country for many centuries. he deserves more respect.

[monkeypeopleofearth]

this "old geezer" is the guy who said "The internet is a series of tubes"....He has been a senator since 1968, and it's time to throw this bum out on the street.....he is a poster-child for term limits.......he is a THIEF, LIAR, and has done enough damage to the United States

[mystrial]

Alaska will elect Stevens.

[WKaliber1]

fucking faggot

[jst1998]

FoxNews people are such opportunists. A few months ago they loved everthing about this Republican. Now that he has been exposed and FoxNews can't get away with twisting the truth anymore, they jump on the bandweagon as they always do. Stevens doesn't have a spine and neither does FoxNews.

[socksnogger]

Congratulations TMP/Ver. for originally breaking this scandal.

[paulpembroke]

G.O.P. = Generally Obnoxious People

[Frostfell]

This nicely encapsulates an underlying reason for America's fall in the view of the world. Bush was a total failure and was re-elected. Stevens is now convicted of thievery and could easily be re-elected by the wise judgement of the people of Alaska. In any reason-thinking democracy, this guy should poll fractions of a percentage point, if he wasn't barred from running altogether.

[bushputz]

Questions for Senator Stevens:

"Will you be making your statement from that 'loaner' massage chair?"

"Can you actually legislate from a jail cell?"

[entropyfu]

Another Alaska maverick!

[dafttool]

Going home? Is this the same home that got you in so much trouble? Enjoy your borowed time there; a jail cell is waiting for you.

[oceanbound222]

CROOK  !!!!!!!!

THEIF !!!!!!!!!

[danoinreno]

CROOKS EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM

[michaelbook18]

man is delusional.

[mickeh93]

uhh...nice failed reaction?

[Integraalhelm]

Alaska will re-elect this bastard, probably because he's still good at shooting moose.

[mickeh93]

all in a day's series of tubes!

[terrence0258]

Very creative! Old people love those darn internets.
