It seems like politics in Alaska has been designed specifically for my lulz.

Did that internet arrive on a truck?

Prosecutorial misconduct doesn't mean he's innocent - it means he got away with it.

I was going to post "let me be the first to say lulz" but you beat me to it. Good show.

/Keep it up, Alaska

well, for the lulz is the only reason anyone does anything.

Wow they're going to have a Democratic Governor in my lifetime

Doesn't matter for public perception...

I can't decide what I want to have happen.
Alaska run by a series of Ted would leave Palin jobless and free to try to get elected to something nationally.

Upside, that's good for the left because it will drive yet more smart people from the Republican Party. Downside, a Republican Party continually in self-destruction-mode and led by crazy angry people is bad for democracy, moderation and any serious political discourse. Also, do we really want to see someone running for high office again who doesn't believe in evolution?

bobbette: Downside, a Republican Party continually in self-destruction-mode and led by crazy angry people is bad for democracy, moderation and any serious political discourse. the Republican Party.

FIFY. Some other party will come out and become the yang to the Democrats' yin*. Maybe the Libertarians, maybe some other (currently-)no-name third party, or maybe the Whig Party might rise from the ashes of the Republican Party like some sort of freaky garbage phoenix.

/*...or would they be the yin to the Democrats' yang?

I think it's amazing that in the span of 4 years the GOP went from controlling all three branches of government to being a national joke.

It makes me so proud of my country.

This. Is. AWESOME!

Like being rescued from sadists by terrorists.

Beauty & Deceased

wait, the charges were dropped?
frak, that means he did do it?
DAMNIT

what's next?
WMD in iraq?

Awesome. Incompetent twit versus chronic douchebag. Thank you GOP. You bring more consistent entertainment than anyone else.

We're talking about a state whose current Governor, when officially found to have abused her power and violated state laws, said, "See? Totally vindicated, toldja!"

Barbigazi: Did that internet arrive on a truck?

no, it was piped in- through a series of tubes.

I'm loving this 'vindication' BS all over the tubes (not referring to Fark). Dear assholes: He is living proof that the system can and does work, most of the time. He is NOT a figurehead for some fantasy of a fascist DOJ. The current DOJ felt that it could not ethically defend prior activities and, as such, your guy was released from responsibility. So spare us the 'innocent of a smear campaign' BS. He was the recipient a system of checks that ensures we are ALL protected from runaway prosecution. Perhaps he should mention that while he is wrapping himself in the flag the next time he gets near a podium.

/I wonder whose DOJ originally prosecuted this case?

Subby, was this from your own personal internet?

Alaska, thank you for being far enough away from the rest of us that we can point and laugh at the lot of you.

I kinda hope he runs against her and wins.

Donald_McRonald: Subby, was this from your own personal internet?

Yes. One of my staffers sent me this internet.

Now that Ted Stevens has been completely exonerated, the liberal apology line starts to the right ------>

I also think it's only fair that the Feds set up and pay for a fund to help him search for the real culprit.

come on Alaska really is mostly full of people who are either on the run from the law or had to escape the normal states for some other reason. What would you expect?

From everything I've read, Stevens basically "made" Palin (politically) and helped quide her every step of the way to where she is now. I have little doubt that Stevens has something on Palin she wouldn't like to be made public.

This could get very interesting.

what_now: Donald_McRonald: Subby, was this from your own personal internet?

Yes. One of my staffers sent me this internet.

is it true that it got held up by someone else's internets that were clogging the tubes?

Let me guess. He sent it to you via his Microsoft.

If the series of tubes are full of shiat, you must acquit.

This is Godzilla v. Mothra-level awesome.

They already blew their wad helping OJ find Nicole's killer.

SnakeLee: Wow they're going to have a Democratic Governor in my lifetime

Unless you're 8 or younger, they already have.

In fact, 5/11 of Alaska's governors were Democrats (Egan had non-consecutive terms); five were Republicans, and one of the Republicans won later running in the Alaskan Independence Party.

burndtdan: is it true that it got held up by someone else's internets that were clogging the tubes?

All of the spam. All of the spam held up my internet for DAYS. It's not a dumptruck, after all.

I like Ted. He's a nice guy. A public servant who spoke to me like he works for me. Great. He's also dirty as hell. All politicians are, thats why they do what they do.

However dirty he may be, he didn't do what he was being prosecuted for and he proclaimed his innocence the entire time. Imagine if Al Cappone actually had paid his taxes. Palin, on the othe other hand, has been found in ethical violation. And she's a twit. Even Alaskan's know this.

I'm sure he would win against her. I would vote for him against her.

Thank god this battle is happening far away from civilization, otherwise real people would suffer.

she's gonna smear the lipstick on her bulldog fighting that corrupt old man

Wow, a stutter and a misplaced apostrophe. i should work for the Palin campaign :)

Hollywood isn't run by one "Big Cheese," but a series of jews

And I think Alaskans are just stupid enough to elect him.

You don't assemble a model airplane by dumping the components onto the table, it's a series of glues.

It's a good thing Alaska burst upon the national political stage when it did.

It was getting boring, picking on Florida.

so the bush justice dept farks up and lets one of their own get off scott free? i'm shocked!

A nudie bar doesn't have one big tit that you look at, but a series of boobs.

Cats don't collectively complain when they're hungry, it's a series of mews.

btw, can alaska finally get its own tag now?

A rainbow isn't one beam of continuous monochromatic light, it's a series of hues.

geez. He got a "get of jail free" card, now why can't he just disappear from public life?

I was hoping he would go to PMITA prison and be violated by a series of tubes...

Ted Stevens won't just have one supporter, it'll be a series of rubes.

You can't just wank it with 10W40, you need a series of lubes.

I can never get up for time in the morning because on my alarm clock I always hit a series of 'snooze'

Stevens better watch the skies, I hear Palin like to hunt.

our office is just a series of cubes.
