So quick to judge.

Former Alaska Senator Ted Stevens is dead, killed in a plane crash in his beloved state. Stevens was narrowly defeated after a trial on corruption charges that was thrown out, and not retried only weeks after the election. At first I took that as possible proof of inocence, but in light of Holders various refusals to prosecute, as in the Black panther mob, confessed terrorists at GITMO and others, I some times wondered.
Stevens was a heck of a statesman, the longest serving Republican senator, and an advocate for Alaska. He will be missed. My heart goes out to his family, who I hope take comfort in knowing that he was on his way to do something he loved, fish.
We conservatives were quick to distance ourselves from him when it appeared he was guilty, no circling the wagons, Conservatives don't do that, you take your licks like a man. Senator Stevens did.
Goodbye Senator, may the one who created you now say "well done my good and faithful servant."
