You hang in there, Sen. Stevens, you crusty, corrupt old coot

[cali]

Don't resign, even if they've got you on tape accepting a million bucks in bribe money. Don't let them push you out. Hang in there with extreme prejudice. We need you to stay in the Senate.

1. Seriously... who *are* these guys???

It's like, "Oh, I can just talk openly about bribes on the phone even though I'm under investigation. What're they gonna do about it?"

Do they actually think they're *that* invincible?

Edit: yeah, I know the answer is yes. But it still blows my mind. It's one thing to be a corrupt slimeball, it's another thing to be so bad at it.

2. Stevens probably does

but I'm serious about not wanting him to retire.

3. "Over my dead body"

Remember the Bridge to Nowhere?

He has no shame and will hang in there until the bitter end.

4. I hope you're right but

I thought the bridge deal was Don Young's.

5. I am terrible on names.

I just knew it was someone from Alaska.

Hell, their entire Congressional delegation mades CREW's Most Corrupt list.

6. And what an honor that is!

But what I'm really afraid of is that Stevens will be forced to resign and the puke guv will appoint a popular repuke. If Stevens hangs in there for a year, the dems stand a good chance.

7. I'm given to understand that the federal pens do not stock comfortable Depends either, so it may be

rough on him for a stretch, but yeah, he is valuable as fodder for the General Election in Alaska.
