"Alaska Sen. Ted Stevens has been convicted of lying about free home renovations and other gifts he received from a wealthy oil contractor. The Senate's longest-serving Republican, Stevens was found guilty on all seven counts of making false statements on Senate financial documents… Stevens faces up to five years in prison on each count but, under federal sentencing guidelines, will likely receive much less prison time, if any."

My favorite part was when he told the jury all the furniture wasn't a gift. "I told him I didn't want it, but he left it there. As far as I'm concerned, it belongs to him." Said Stevens about some leather furniture that had been in his house for years.

Hi God? It's me, Jimmy. I know you're awfully busy, but could you please make Sarah Palin the next Alaskan politician to be found guilty in court? Thanks! Amen.

Now let's prove that the same people who expanded Sen. Stevens' house into a "chalet" (his term for it) are the ones that built Governor Palin's home.
