Where Does He Go to Get His Reputation Back?
I’m back (how long do you think it takes to say “the creep should fry”?), and I’m PO’d:
All criminal charges against former Senator Ted Stevens will be dropped later today, the Department of Justice has announced. Attorney General Eric Holder said that he decided to drop the case because of the severe misconduct committed by Justice Department prosecutors–the only real instance of potentially politically-motivated misconduct in the Bush Justice Department that has come to light–which caused the trial judge to hold prosecutors in contempt of court. Holder was reportedly concerned about “more hearings that might embarrass the department.” If I were Stevens, I would demand hearings to try to determine whether the rogue prosecutors were politically motivated.
…
The ends justify the means for them - now more than ever.
The Democrats needed Stevens’s seat to get their filibuster-proof majority.
They got it.
The ends justify the means.
I frankly don’t know the case against Stevens—and find it confusing that a Democratic Justice Department caved on charges initially brought by a Republican Justice Department—but what conclusion can we draw other than that the case was politically motivated?
It tainted him, that’s for sure, but I think some stink also stuck to Governor Sarah Palin. She made her bones standing up to the corruptocracy among Alaska Republicans, and Stevens served as a reminder of the culture up there.
Or did he? In any case, he served his purpose, and has been discarded.
PS: Michelle’s far different take.

Frankly, I don’t care if he’s guilty anymore.
Considering all of the evil that Democrats do and get away with, I think the Republicans need to abandon the idea of being more principled.
Why? Because they won’t get any credit for it.
We don’t have a free press. They work for Obama and Soros. Hence, they lie. No matter how principled we are, they will say we’re not.
This is how the GOP was defeated and gutted. The press was allowed to hold us to an impossible standard, since Democrat corruption was, and is, never reported. The plaything of Soros had the White House bought for him, in exchange for bringing Communism to the country and eliminating the Constitution.
So why play by the rules when the other side doesn’t, and there is no referee and half the spectators are morons?
