A jury found U.S. Sen. Ted Stevens of Alaska guilty Monday of all seven counts in his federal corruption trial.

The jury found Stevens guilty of “knowingly and willfully” scheming to conceal on Senate disclosure forms more than $250,000 in home renovations and other gifts from an Alaska-based oil industry contractor.

Stevens faces a maximum sentence of up to to 35 years in prison — five years for each of the seven counts.

Legal experts note the judge has the discretion to give Stevens as little as no jail time and probation when he is sentenced.

Tears are optional.

Thanks, K B

    The weird thing is that it took the jury as long as it did. From the data available to the public he looked guilty as sin.

    #30, Jag,

    Thanks. I usually don’t follow links unless I know the person posting it, recognize the source, or there is an explanation.

    BTW, my wife is still a little upset that I was asking for baby powder all night.

    #23, Jimmy,

    Hey, have you ever blown baby powder out your ass on video?

  3. QB says:

    #33 Mr Fusion

    Between you and Jag I may in therapy for while.

  4. Jägermeister says:

    #33 – Mr. Fusion – BTW, my wife is still a little upset that I was asking for baby powder all night.

    What? She didn’t want to play Mount St. Helens?!

  5. Jägermeister says:

    #34 – QB – … I may in therapy for while.

    Why?

  6. QB says:

    Jager, excuse me while I bleach my eyeballs.

    HOw many years did this TAKE??

  8. BillM says:

    One slime bag down. Good riddance. Now, how about the Demo crook that had all the money in the freezer. What was his name? Are they still dragging that one out?

    #39 Jefferson, LA

    Dead man walking…

  10. Jägermeister says:

    #37 – QB – 😀

    #40 – Paddy-O

    The slime wanted to be re-elected

  11. contempt says:

    It’s always good when a corrupt politician gets an orange jumpsuit and a cell mate named Bruno.

    Ted Stevens today, Barney Frank tomorrow. Barney doesn’t get a Bruno. He might mistake him as a perk.

  12. Paddy-O says:

    #41 So did Stevens. Criminals have no shame.

    You are the one that brought him up in this thread not me.

    So who really has a stubby over Paddy Cake? If I were you James I would be carful because he stated today he doesn’t like “Homo’s”

    Correct:

    You are the one that brought him up in this thread, not me.

    So, who really has a stubby over Paddy Cake? If I were you, James, I would be careful because he stated today he doesn’t like “Homo’s.”

  14. Ohunta says:

    Will overturn in appeal. Overzealous prosecution.

  15. HEY says:

    “Hey, I can’t even spell corruption as I’m over 80 backsheesh years.”
    What an ass this guy is, I hope that Alaskans can vote him out. If they vote him in after this corruption conviction, I’m getting my popcorn out to watch the fireworks.

  16. QB says:

    #45 It’s Alaska, he’ll be re-elected AND someone will to pay to have cell redecorated while he’s waiting appeal.

    #44 Homos shouldn’t be in the possessive form.

  17. Jägermeister says:

    #44 – QB – Homos shouldn’t be in the possessive form.

    All your homos are belong to us!

  18. QB says:

    #48 As usual, Herr Jägermeister, I acknowledge the Buddha within.

    The first sign that someone is a cock munch is that they correct other peoples grammar and spelling on the comment section of a blog.

    I have admitted, time and time again, that my grammar and spelling on this comment section is very poor. The fact that you point it out does not make you a scholar. It just makes you a douchknozzle.

    Just a note. You, my friend, have made many mistakes yourself. I will make note of them, at some point, and deal you a dish of your own hypocrisy. It will be like none you have ever tasted.

    # 47 QB

    “Homos shouldn’t be in the possessive form.”

    I was using a quote from Paddy Cake. He probably didn’t correct it because of that.

  20. JimD says:

    Repuke “Culture of Corruption” !!! Abrahamoff, etc …. They way the do “Business” !!!

  21. Mr. Fusion says:

    That would be funny. Stevens wins the seat. He is disqualified because he is a convicted felon. Palin appoints herself. Palin goes to Washington as a , … ready? … drum roll please, … retard!

  22. Lou says:

    Send the old crustation to jail.

  23. Glenn E. says:

    Ted Stevens’ only real crime might be not having enough (or any) powerful friends in Congress to protect him. Like how McCain got protected from being charged with abusing his Senate position to influence an investigation of Charles Keating. Stevens simply didn’t spread his good fortune around enough for his fellow congressmen to enjoy. And they left him to fend for himself in this case. Also, is it really “corruption” when most politicians are doing the very same thing? They’re just covering it up better. He’s only uniquely guilty of being a sour old jerk, that nobody likes.

  24. jim says:

    #28 Can a convicted felon run for the Senate?

  25. QB says:

    #50 J, what you wrote was just fine. I was just noting that brendel’s punctiliousness was less than impeccable.

  26. stopher says:

    Don’t worry Ted. Prison is just a series of cubes. (Not mine. Stolen from Farc.)

  27. James Hill says:

    #24, #33 – See how easy it is to own both of you? You’re both so accepting of it you actually want me to rape you. How cute.

    Epic fail by both of you. Just that easy.

    #53 – Way to catch up, but she wouldn’t be any worse than the rest of the lot. Just because you hate women is no reason to get pissy.

    Well, I’ve won another thread. Thanks for playing kids.

  28. James Hill says:

    #56 – His misuse of the word is just him admitting he wants to be raped by me. That’s all.

  29. QB says:

    #59 Classy

  30. Mr. Fusion says:

    #59, Jimmy,

    Your mother wants her undies back. Something about you’re stretching the butt end, if you can believe that.
