say goodbye to your little friend

Alaskan Senator Ted Stevens, mentor to VP-candidate Sarah Palin, and the longest serving Republican member of the Senate was unanimously endorsed Monday by a jury of twelve. Next Tuesday, Stevens' Democrat opponent in the convicted-on-all-7-felony counts attempt to gain a 8th term in the US Congress will most assuredly be endorsed by the majority of people from the Last Great Wilderness of America.

Stevens, who joins the ranks of such venerable Republicans this year as Larry "I just wanted to wash your sock" Craig, spells more doom and gloom for the flailing McCain campaign and embarrassment for the party that will soon find itself in a major rebuilding mode. Both Stevens and McCain are old enough to know the origins of "say it ain't so Joe", but the bad news for the both of them and the good news for the rest of America is that it is so.
