Senator Ted Stevens of Alaska has been convicted of seven counts of lying on financial disclosure statements, hiding considerable gifts/services given him over the years. Good. He deserves to be convicted, and he deserves whatever punishment comes his way.
He needs to resign now. If Republicans were to be able to maintain 41 votes only through his holding the seat, then I would rather see the Democrats have filibuster proof majorities. It is that important to the Republican Party to separate itself from this cancerous man.

Sell their home and put their family into an apartment in a public housing project and if unable to work provide the minimum welfare stipend.
In China, he would receive life in prison -- just like the guy who took bribes for the Olympic Bird's nest.
make him jump of the bridge to nowhere
