This just arrived from the governor's office:

October 27, 2008, Anchorage, Alaska – Governor Sarah Palin today released the following statement on the felony convictions of U.S. Senator Ted Stevens:

“This is a sad day for Alaska and for Senator Stevens and his family. The verdict shines a light on the corrupting influence of the big oil service company that was allowed to control too much of our state. That control was part of the culture of corruption I was elected to fight. And that fight must always move forward regardless of party or seniority or even past service.

“As Governor of the State of Alaska, I will carefully monitor this situation and take any appropriate action as needed. In the meantime, I ask the people of Alaska to join me in respecting the workings of our judicial system. I'm confident Senator Stevens will do what is right for the people of Alaska.”

1. So did she just throw his ass under the bus?

14. I think she's said, "don't tell anyone that the same people who

remodeled your house helped Tadd build our little pad by the lake...you know, those helpful folks who built the much-needed sports complex in
Wasilla."

2. But I have a feeling what she thinks is "right" isn't what I think is "right"

She probably expects him to win re-election.

Bet the only reason she isn't pardoning him yet is the McCain people holding her back.

3. "culture of corruption" ... next time let's copyright our labels. The wingers just take what they

want.

4. Wasn't that Howard Deans line? I think so.

10. I know. Isn't Corrupt Bastards Club good enough. . What nxt? T-shirts and caps?

"Member, Culture of Corruption" t-shirts could be all the rage at the federal pen :rofl:

6. She's telling him to be a "model prisoner"

That way, the parole board will let him out earlier.

Very smart, that Dingbat.

7. She would LOVE to be Senator -- "Senator Palin" (What a joke!) -nt

[BrotherBuzz]

11. Even money says she will appoint Todd

Keep it all one big dysfunctional family, you betcha.

13. She won't be able to 'appoint' anyone. I believe the Alaska constitution was changed

after Murkowski appointed his daughter to his vacant senate seat, and it now requires a special session of the legislature to be held within 60 days.

17. Is being Senator more prestigious than Governor?

I always thought the reverse because a Governor can control an entire state

8. Why start now?

[melody]

9. Stevens wouldn't know what "right" was if it bit him on the ass

His utter lack of a conscience is appallingly clear.

12. Yet another WTF statement.

As Joe would say.....Are you serious?:wtf:

[Tribetime]

15. she's awful cocky before the other troopergate comes out

her day may be coming this week also.

[FLyellowdog]

16. Sure hope so.
