His trial is scheduled to begin Sept. 24 in Washington–.Who CARES

good, put the criminal behind bars where he and the rest of these neoCON repugs belong!!!!!!!

those republicans really are a nasty, useless, pathetic bunch-what a sorry group of "people". and mccain is just another repug loser!!!

Its been almost a year now and I have had the same home phone number and cell phone number and I have NEVER EVER EVA EVA EVA been polled. So my advice to all you who have not been polled, don’t believe this because after almost a year of campaign polls that the media keeps reporting on you cant tell me AFTER A YEAR they could not have found the time to call either of my phones by now.

As a matter a fact no one I know has been polled. I bet CNN won’t post this because they don’t want people to know that these polls are a load of BS and that they are Media Driven.

CNN STOP INSULTING MY INTELLIGENCE

Another one bites the dust...

Less of people like Moore in the political process would be great. Electing Obama is like electing David Duke. Black or white racism is the same.

The sad part is that he probably would get re-elected.

What's the whirring noise? Oh, I believe it's the founding fathers in their graves.

Maybe they should try it in Connecticut where they found a former Republican governor guilty of similar home repairs–he had to resign.

He should not worry. Why? Because if Panamanian McCain wins he will either become part of McCain's administration or will receive a pardon.

WHAT ME WORRY? No, my friend you are one of us!

Ha Ha.

Crook.

Idiot. The judge ain't THAT stupid. And, no, you can't sell him that bridge . . .

Kathleen left off one word.....It should be nightmare !!!!!!!

Caroline, good pick. Every circus needs more than one clown.

Re-election campaign? Is Ted delusional? Alaska is voting for a Democratic senator this year.

I would not mind seeing the LA DA go down and the same for Rep. Jefferson. I also want to see Stevens, Karl, Rove, Alberto Gonzalea, Tom DeLay and all of the other corrupt "public servants" go.

I completly agree that William Jefferson needs to be tried as well.

There should be no favouritism when expelling vermin from Congress.

DEAR FRIENDS:
NO MAN CAN AND IS NOT SUPPOSED TO GET A FAIR TRIAL AND REPRESENTATION EQUALLY OF THE COURTS.

Ummm...as I recall, Stevens was the one who wanted the trial to begin BEFORE the election, not after. He certainly shouldn't complain about the venue when he was the one who wanted the date moved up. He needs to take his chances, just like everyone else.

Wondering, when is the trial of William Jefferson, Democrat, LA starting? Will there be a change in venue?

I mean, how often do we find $90,000 or so in cash in a freezer in an elected officials house???????????

I guess he doesn't trust the bank with his hard-earned dollars.

Since Stevens loves his pork, I just have to say; da di da di da di da di, that's all folks.

A fair trial will be in Washington and not Alaska. Why do you need to run again?

Stevens doesn' t need a change of venue. I guess Stevens felt that he could find a jury of his own peers; Rich and Republican. I know there are some folks who would line up just to serve on that jury.

Oh, my God, The Republican convention could include Bush, Rove
Cheney, Hannity, Limbaugh, Delay, the Catholics and the Evangelicals!!!!! What a night!!!!!

TERM LIMITS. Both parties are filled with these criminals!

Yeah, Ted, move it to Alaska where you can intimidate possible jurors or where they're all already beholden to you in some way.
Sorry, you got caught red handed on this one... if you don't get convicted, then our justice system is in worse shape than I thought.

He honestly thinks he'll be re-elected? Are you kidding? What a moron, what an ego!

Yeah, let's do it. Vote for another crook.

They are all corrupt white dudes!

Just throw him in prison and throw the keys!!!!!!!!!!!

One more reason to impose term limits.

This is the same Senator Stevens that went on a rant about integrity and family values during the Minica period during Clinton's term.

I'd rather have 8 more years of Clinton than five minutes more of this guy. I wonder how much other corruption is on this guy's table that we haven't heard about yet?

Re-election? Gimme a break. You are all done. They brought this on to you to get rid of you after too many years in office. Get a good set of golf clubs............

Where is the converage of the Repuplican from Forida (Buchanan). This guy made Tom Delay look like Mother Theresa......

(but seems that AGAIN CNN has banned me, so this post will never see the light of day, either)...

I hope this guy goes to prison and loses to the Dem.

This is the type of pork barrel spending McCain is going to stop. A bridge to nowhere, is typical of some things that get attached to bills along the way to becomming a law. Senators should be ashamed of themselves when they attach stupid things to bills that start out as good for the country and end up a bunch of garbage.

Good.

man*

The old amn is probably greasing palms all over DC today.

Fry the crook!

Hell! You all bunch of immature, sick, and righteous!

Please get a life everyone and look yourself at the mirror!

This Mr. Stevens is a foul reeking crook. He belongs in federal prison. Lets convict him and take away his pension!!

"It's time for un cambio–a change."

At least now we have an answer to the bridge to nowhere. The bridge should take the Congressman straight to jail.

O/08

Is there a possibilty that someone could take back all the "fringe benefits" he got for his home? Pull that wrap-around porch off if you have to, or make him pay for every red cent at market prices.

No wonder they fight tooth and nail to get into Congress, what a life.

Good, that Crook needs to be tried in Washington.

Just proves that no good deed goes unpunished.......good luck Ted.

Anonymous:

Can see why you list yourself as Anonymous. Better yet, maybe you should list yourself as fool.

Ralph Nader? You must be a head up-your-backside republican't.

And yet, that democRATic congressman from Louisiana that was caught with $90,000 in cold hard cash in his freezer still walks free. A democRATic congressmant in a democRATic state, geez, no fraud there.

The difference between William Jefferson and Ted Stevens is when Stevens is convicted Bush will pardon him for following the party's platform and policies.

Actually the American people are getting exactly what they deserve by electing these people based on their lies and fear mongering. Hopefully McCain will also get elected and the country gets what it is asking for and it might be just too much to endure.

That is optimism for you. Asking your trial for corruption to be moved back home so you can continue campaigning so you can go back and take more graft. Does the good Senator realize that he will probably be going to jail for his crimes?

It is not like these are a few minor trumped up charges. They got you dead to rights Senator. Not only won’t you be reelected, but you probably won’t be allowed to vote. That’s what we do to felons.

please. a writer of children's books.
someone must have lost their mind.

This guy, "guilty or not guilty"?...........................In my opinion, at his age ; and for the welfare of the state, he needs to retire from office!

Hillbilly , I do not really believe you are one for if you were you would know that Alaska going democrat has about much chance as a snowball in H@Ll surviving. As far as the Strawberry woman calling all the women supporting McCain as old hags : guess what their is more old women than their is young Hags.

I am still waiting for the trial for William Jefferson, Democrat, Louisiana

If corruption is corruption, than we should be rooting it out everywhere it is found.

His trial is scheduled to begin Sept. 24 in Washington.

The Justice Department scheduled a trial prior to the election. Just in time for it conclude near Election Day. He is being thrown under the bus by his own party. Good job, Republicans. Clean up your house.

I think the trail should be moved to wherever the crime occurred. If it is Alaska then so be it. I saw you closed the article real qyick on (MICHAEL MOORE) wanting Caroline Kennedy to be selected for VP. As you can see by this Obama has the most left of Liberals supporting him and people who have openly stated their hatred for america. Just what moderates need if she was chose to be the on the vp ticket. Another far left wing Kennedy. I guess when you got a great american like Michael Moore endorsing you what can you do but vote for McCain.

Thank you. It's about time money doesn't buy these politicians out of their responsibilities. I sure hope the trial itself is handled the same way. Stevens should be in jail.

Even if he wasn't so corrupt, it is time to get this idiot out of office.

Another one that won't be attending the Republican National Convention

It is just crazy for this man to think he has a right to run, after all the illegal activity he pulled off. No, no hiding your secreats from the public anymore.

Good. No special treatment. Maybe though, in the middle of his trial, the judge will let him speak at the GOP convention, to really liven up the criminal atmosphere there.

He's going down for the corrupt Senator that he is. He is the newest member of the Republican Party's Culture of Corruption. Money and Party BEFORE Country, that's their slogan!!!!

And yet, people still vote Repuglican!! This party is corrupt, overflowing with scandal, have completely TRASHED our country and wasted our military on a unnecessary war, and have shredded our Constitution... and yet, you people still support them!!

Alcoholics Anonymous says it best: The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over, and each time expecting different results." This applies to having a Republican President. WAKE UP, AMERICA!!!

Bridge-To-Nowhere Man is going down along with his entire party...

He should be sent to prison the rest of his life along with every other corrupt government official. These people should be treated like any criminal and this lawlessness would stop.

McCain is the living dead......zombie

Steven's "change of venue" should be the jailhouse.

Tick tock....the clock is ticking for all of these bums. Get them out of Washington. Re-election? Are you kidding me, he needs to be under the jail.

Stevens is a crook! He should be indicted for the "bridge to nowhere" if for nothing else. It's time to send a message to congress that the american public will no longer tolerate dishonesty.

Score 1 for America. Don't let this bum get away with anything.

America Yes!

Unless Obama nominates a fabulous woman (and it doesn't have to be Hillary), my vote goes to Ralph Nader.

Re-election? The ballz on this guy must be coconut sized.

The nerve of him... He is charged with corruption and he wants to contine running. Now, I understand a charge is not a convicton, but he must clean out his closet before putting the clothes back in!

just like a repuglican, broke the law and still seeking reelection. They are merciless.

Alaska -–OBAMA 08' GOING BLUE!!!

That's the arrogance of republicans....They think they can get away with anything and not have to suffer any consequences.

Bush, Cheney the same way both pled executive privleges.
crooked crooked crooked.

I will bring the rope to throw over the tree for him. And while at it bring along Vitter, Craig, Foley.....Such arrogance to think that he will be re-elected...LMFAO

I can’t believe the entitlement they feel.

Ok....but he should be able to make bail with his illegal earnings to attend the RNC : o

They still love him there.

nice try senator.alaska's going democratic this year ,for the first time,just because of your corrupt ways.

Is Stevens talking at the GOP convention too? He would fit right in with Chenney, Bush, Liberman and who's the other warmonger, rich guy–oh McCain!!!!

Good news.
After 40 years of corruption and underhanded deals it's about time this guy paid up to the courts and the taxpayers.

Bob Barr 2008,
No time for cheating–fairness and equal treatment under the law (even the lawmakers), and fighting for liberty, freedom, the pursuit of happiness.

Go Libertarian!!!!..visit us, donate, support–win back control of your lives from the Democratic and Republican machines.

How ridiculous! He's going to trial and he wants to continue his politics? Since when did he become "special"?

It was moved out of Alaska for the reason he wanted venue changed back to Alaska. It had nothing to do with re-election.

good.

No reason to have chnaged it. A conviction would look really nice right before the election in November!

that's " In" America. I was so busy laughing I mistyped.

Come on SIXTY!!!

A federal judge Wednesday denied a request by Alaska Sen. Ted Stevens to move his corruption trial to his home state so he could continue his re-election campaign."

this man actually thinks he will be re-elected!

LMAO! (OH BUT LET ME STOP....THERE ARE SOME OLD WHITE PEOPLE AND PUMA SUPPORTER A/K/A OLD HAGS....VOTING FOR MCCAIN SO I GUESS ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE UIN AMERICA). How very sad

You have to be kidding! Stevens really wants/wanted to continue his Senatorial bid for re-election. What an jerk. The only reason for him to return to Alaska is to serve prison time where he committed his crimes.

Good ... no special treatment for rich republicans or democrats ...

That's the problem with America ... there have been two sets of rules for too long.
