Right now, I bet ol' Theodore Stevens, the Republican US senator out of Alaska is hoping for a presidential pardon- and probably a good word from fellow Alaskan, Governor Sarah Palin.
Stevens was found guilty of all seven counts of corruption. The jury found him guilty of "willfully and knowingly" scheming to conceal on disclosure forms more than $250,000 in home renovations, and other gifts from an Alaska oil industry contractor. Now, how much time he'll get, this is not known, but you can probably bet your bottom dollar that whatever sentence he'll get, he won't serve a day of it.
"Thanks, George and Sarah!", screams Ted. "I got my presidential pardon!"
Just you watch come January 19, 2009.
