[cnn-photo-caption image= http://i2.cdn.turner.com/cnn/2008/images/10/27/art.palin.10.27.jpg caption="Palin says Stevens should step aside."](CNN) - Sarah Palin said Tuesday Alaska Sen. Ted Stevens should resign his Senate seat, in a statement released hours after John McCain made a similar declaration.
The comments come a day after Palin would not say what she thought the best course of action for the recently convicted senator should be.
"After being found guilty on seven felony counts, I had hoped Senator Stevens would take the opportunity to do the statesman-like thing and erase the cloud that is covering his Senate seat," she said in the statement. "He has not done so. Alaskans are grateful for his decades of public service but the time has come for him to step aside. Even if elected on Tuesday, Senator Stevens should step aside to allow a special election to give Alaskans a real choice of who will serve them in Congress."

Who wants to bet that Palin will appoint herself as Senator?
Palin should call on herself to resign for being found guilty of ethics violations & violating the people's trust. Is there no end to the hypocracy of this liar with a microphone? Sarah Palin is bad actress at best.
Are comments being evaluted or something? Hmmm, I am curious that if this is that a person can not say their opinion or something?
I think they call it the pot call the kettle black. She really needs to sit her but down somewhere. Oh I forget she will be after Nov 4th.
HEY MAVERICK YOUR NEXT

Her posturing is sickening!
