Sen. Ted Stevens (R-Alaska) has been found guilty on seven counts of lying about free house renovations and gifts received from an oil-contractor friend between 1999 and 2006. The impact on Stevens' reelection race against Democrat Mark Begich remains to be seen. Stevens, going strong at age 84, is the longest-serving Republican in the Senate.

That's video of Ted Stevens, angrily ensuring that oil executives are not forced to testify under oath before Congress.
Just another political servant of the international oil cartels.

On the ther hand, if Alaskans still deem him worthy of their representation in Washington, I suggest we sell the whole state back to Russia...cheap!
