If Ted "Tubes" Stevens is convicted will they rename the Anchorage airport (ANC)?

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

It's now called Ted Stevens International. Seems to me if "Tubes" winds up in the slammer they might want to find another name for it.

:rofl:

1. The image of Ted Stevens and "tubes" kinda makes me throw up in my mouth.

Sorry, I know that has nothing to do with your question but I had to say it.

2. Name it the Elizabeth Peratrovich Airport.

Famous for bringing civil rights for native Alaskans:

3. The think the repuke governor would be in charge of that decision

and I've recently read that she is now in hot water for supposedly influencing the firing of a state trooper....her ex-brother-in-law. Oops. Must be exciting times in the Last Frontier right now.

4. Isn't there a federal prison in Alaska that would be honored to carry the TubeMeister's name?

5. If bush is convicted will they change the San Fran waste treatment

plant? Or should ALL waste treatment plants be named for bush?

7. this is why you NEVER name anything after a living person...

Remember the Kenneth Lay YMCA? LOL

10. Oxford University has a 'Robert Maxwell Fellow in Politics'

Slightly unfortunate title!

11. NO kidding. Naming things after dead people was standard practice...

before the Reaganites started trying to name everything under creation after St. Ron while he was still breathing. Now we have structures all over the country named after confirmed douchebags.

8. Maybe just add a hypen and a new word -

Ted Stevens - Indicted International

Seems to work for me and would carry on his true legacy.}(

9. Perhaps "Airport to Somewhere"

;-)

12. C'mon, give the ol' guy a break.

Comparatively speaking, his crimes are misdemeanors when compared to the crimes of Bush, Cheney, Rove et al. Besides, he was about to be retired...by vote.

I suspect that a good many Alaskans still hold him in high esteem for all the good that he's accomplished for the state. Particularly the bridges to nowhere.
