Senator Doesn’t Want Ted Stevens Put In Jail

Published by thelastmaninamerica at 6:32 am under Uncategorized Edit This

Mark Begich, the incoming Alaska senator who beat out convicted felon Ted Stevens for a seat held by the Republican for decades, is now saying his 85 year-old former opponent should not be thrown in jail.

Ted Stevens was convicted in October on seven felony counts of making false statements in regards to money and gifts he received while in office.

“I think for an 85 year-old man to serve time in jail, that’s not the appropriate thing to do,” said Begich.

Than what would be the appropriate thing to do, Mr. Begich? Should we just slap his wrinkled wrists and send him on his way? Now don’t you go doin that again, ya hear!?

That is bullshit! Age does not absolve you of guilt. If anything, he has 85 years of experience that should tell him what he was doing was wrong. Or is it because he’s one of your own that you think he should get leniency? I’m sure all you crooked pimps have taken gifts like Stevens and if caught you’d lie just the same. Again, this makes him more deserving of jail time. He is a lawmaker who broke the Law, the bastard, and he should wither away the last years of his life in a 8×6 cell with all the other criminals.
