Crooks and Liars:
Via Roll Call we hear that disgraced Senator Ted Stevens is pleading with his senate colleagues.
Sen. Ted Stevens (R-Alaska) is reportedly calling his Republican colleagues in the hope of shoring up support before an expected vote Tuesday on whether to expel him from the Conference because of his seven felony convictions.
Although it was unclear how many lawmakers Stevens has reached out to, GOP aides said he has been making calls urging his colleagues to withhold judgement until the appeals process is exhausted. Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) has proposed expelling him from the Conference and stripping him of his committee assignments, and a vote on that proposal could occur Tuesday.
Even if Stevens survives through next week, he is widely expected to be eventually expelled from the Senate, with leaders from both parties saying proceedings to remove him would take place at an undetermined time.
Rank-and-file Republicans have also begun to turn their backs on Stevens, the longest-serving member of the GOP. Sen. Saxby Chambliss (R-Ga.), during an interview on MSNBC Thursday afternoon, echoed a statement he made Wednesday in which he said he would vote for any motion to remove Stevens.

Oh how the Mighty have fallen. Uncle Ted Stevens ruled the Senate and put fear in others. He groomed Sarah from Mayor to Govenor. He stole what he wanted and knew for 40 years he got away with it so no one could stop him. Then Change came along and brought him down. All the Law Makers that were behind Uncle Ted are now gone and he's left alone. Sarah was waiting to be appointed as his replacement in the Senate as she knows she will lose her job as Govenor. All the plans are gone as the voters decided they didn't want a convicted felon name Ted Stevens to represent them.
Others will soon join Uncle Ted as the clean up of the US Govenment starts Jan. 20th. Now tap tap Larry Criag supported Uncle Ted by going to his trial, now he turns his back on his friend now that he sees he lost the Senate Seat. Life lessons of what the meaning of friends is in the Republican Party.
Ted was stupid for running for Senate again.
