The inventor of the Intertubes has been found guilty by a jury of his peers.
Ted Stevens, the longest-serving Senate Republican in history and patriarch of Alaska politics, was found guilty of felony charges for making false statements…
…The jury did not seem to buy the explanation from Stevens that Allen showered him with gifts he didn’t want and was unaware of, and that he believed the $160,000 he gave to another contractor covered all costs for the home renovations.
I honestly thought he’d get a hung jury and a mistrial. It almost seemed like the government was trying to lose this case. But they won it. Now I hope the American public is more impressed with Colin Powell’s endorsement of Barack Obama than this jury was with his character witnessing for Ted ‘Hulk-Tie’ Stevens. Bring on Senator Mark Begich!!
