McCain On Stevens: "Step Down"
A statement from John McCain about the Ted Stevens guilty verdict. Per his campaign:
"Yesterday, Senator Ted Stevens was found guilty of corruption. It is a sign of the health of our democracy that the people continue to hold their representatives to account for improper or illegal conduct, but this verdict is also a sign of the corruption and insider-dealing that has become so pervasive in our nation's capital.
"It is clear that Senator Stevens has broken his trust with the people and that he should now step down. I hope that my colleagues in the Senate will be spurred by these events to redouble their efforts to end this kind of corruption once and for all."
Just how fast can Palin throw an old buddy under the bus? "As fast as a deer can run from a hunter!" She was in so tight with Stevens benefitted from him, yet now she is making him sound like one of her "ethical" "sting" victims!Like she was responsible for getting "her man!" Now there is a fancy way of making lemonade out of lemons! That is old fashioned dirty politics at its best! Or did she learn that kind of back stabbing in those folksy churches she attended for her exorcisms?
