Why did Gov Palin not call for Stevens resignation when he was indicted -- as citizen if nothing else? Why did she wait to call for his resignation until after he was convicted? Does that mean she is guilty of corruption too?

Gov Blagojevich is a crook and I am glad to see him get his.

I think the hyenas trying to paint others as corrupt because they hail from the same state or belong to the same party or shook hands are exhibiting rather desparate and illogical behavior.

Gov Palin asked Stevens to step down before the trial even started, not after the conviction.

I think its a bit more then being from the same state in Blago's case.

Sorry, but one govenor in jail is a damned shame, but two governors in a row indicates that there's more than just the governor who's corrupt.

Add in Congressman Rostenkowski, and there's more than just an out of control governor in play here.

It's an FN shame when you get to know who the LT. Gov, Attn. Gen., Senators and Congress folks are in one state because they cannot behave themselves.

I thought that when elephants in Lost Angeles were in trouble was a sign of the Apocalypse.....Hyenas?

Don't forget Paul Powell...my personal favorite.

And...Illinois had two governors in a row who were NOT convicted of anything.

Of course...at the end of the day...what does the action of one person have to do with the qualifications of another person?

That is what you guys continue to avoid explaining....

Two words.

Because of Rep. Don Young's close association with Stevens Ild like to see him step down, I was sorry to see he was reelected. Young has recently stepped down from key comittees to try and clear his name from the fog of corruption implications, thats not good enough for me.

The actions of Stevens and his close relationship with Rep. Young are the same to me as the actions of those who Obama associated with, Obama was helped by and has helped, and who Obama closely worked with over the years.

A few of Young and Stevens associates are now in jail, a number of Obama's associates are in jail and indicted. Ild be a hypocrite to think Stevens deserves what he got and that Young deserves the same scrutiny, and think President Elect Barry should get a pass on his associations with criminals and terrorists.

Yawn. Does Gov Palin get a pass on her association with criminals?

She has disassociated herself from senator Stevens, so what criminals is she still associated with? She still has to deal with state business with Rep. Young and he hasnt been charged with anything yet, so Im forced to give a pass there even though I dont like it..

So yawn, what criminals is Gov Palin associating with?

Disassociating yourself...AFTER the conviction...I would call that politics as usual!

I am sure she is terribly grateful for the pass you are giving her.

You might be interested in this YouTube from July 2008. Palin expressing her admiration for Stevens? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YptTFDsktVQ

Or her comment on November 8 -- after his conviction that she would not tell him to step down because she "is not a dictator."?

Looks like you are right...it is more than just being from the same state! Some politicians go so far as to express admiration for indicted felons of the political persuasion!

Ive seen the video, Uncle Ted brought allot to the state over the years. Stevens wasnt convicted, he hadnt even gone to trial, when Palin was part of that joint statement expressing her admiration.

She "asked" him to step down before the trial, she couldnt order/tell him to do anything.

You are stretching your "logical" conclusions now.
