Ted Stevens--playground bully.
What a screaming jerk. Have you noticed how he screams to get his way? Isn't that what babies do?


His behavior in front of the oil execs was so ridiculous that he needed a bib. How did this idiot get elected...hmmm...one guess:eyes:

8. He's on Jon Stewart's list
Stewart showed that tape of him yelling "NO!" when asked to give up his $200mil bridge. Then he called him by name over the torture votes. I think he will show him in action in the Oil Co.'s hearing. He just might be the new "douchebag of liberty"

16. His tantrums would make a great political ad
One tantrum after another all strung together in a video. An opponent could have a field day with it.

23. Yeah, when he threatened to resign if they cut the 250 million...
...for the bridge to nowhere,
we had a GREAT chance to call his bluff.

This is 250 million to build a bridge to a remote island
with a population of 50 people who DON'T OWN AUTOMOBILES.

This is a blatant payoff to the Construction Corp. who
funds him, and any opponent should HAMMER him with it.

The FACTS are damning enough, but his pathetic tantrum
is the icing on his COFFIN.

He has handed an easy win to his opponent...
all we need is someone to _BE_ that opponent!

7. He was appointed in 68 after incumbent Bob Bartlett died
I think he's gotten increasingly senile as of late. He was rambling away on the Senate floor and had to ask the President of the Senate what he was talking about :eyes:

Scary that as President por tempore of the Senate, he is 4th from the Presidency :scared:

22. Stevens is so deep in the oil mens pockets, he's become lint.
stevens is a pig, first and foremost, secondly, he's a heartless money grubbing fuck. If they went on record under oath, they would blab all sorts of things about stevens. He wasn't mad, he was shitting a brink. Remember Alaska gets huge benefits from the oil it has and without a doubt, he's kept nice and happy via the oil men.

I bet you bottom dollar that before those guys went in there to "testify", they told stevens, "if we have to go under oath, you are coming down with us". End of story.
