Based on the HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS in pork that he "brought home to Alaska", it''s obvious he''s as crooked as they come.

Just like Randy %u201CI won%u2019t besmirch John Wayne by calling him Duke%u201D Cunningham, Senator Stevens has been in office way too long, and this corruption trial proves it; beyond a reasonable doubt. %u201CAbsolute power (which is what Senator Stevens has held in Alaska for the past forty years) corrupts absolutely; and he%u2019s no different then the disgraced Congressman from my own district here in California. Makes me sick to think how many more of these, long term politicians, are using their influence to better themselves, and not the country as a whole. The financial crisis implies that we haven%u2019t even scraped the top of the iceberg; mores the pity.

He is neither. He is a corrupt politician and has been for many years. He belongs in prison.
