(WASHINGTON) — Alaska Sen. Ted Stevens has been convicted of lying about free home renovations and other gifts he received from a wealthy oil contractor.Get Utah Senator Larry "Mr. Airport Gay Foot Tap" Craig on the line.
The Senate's longest-serving Republican, Stevens was found guilty on all seven counts of making false statements on Senate financial documents.
The verdict throws the upcoming election into disarray. Stevens is fighting off a challenge from Democrat Mark Begich and must now either drop out or continue campaigning as a convicted felon.
Stevens was guilty of seven corruption charges, Palin was guilty of violating ethics as Governor. Way to go Alaska, your love of corruption is really the change in politics we need now.
