Rejoice! Felon Ted Will No Longer Be Senator Ted

I know I should remain firmly objective, but in this case....

The New York Times confirms, "Senator Ted Stevens of Alaska, convicted last month on federal ethics charges, lost his bid for a seventh term as final ballots were counted on Tuesday, giving Democrats at least 58 seats in the Senate for the first years of the Obama administration."

Technically, that's 56 Democrats and two independents, with the recount in Minnesota and the run-off in Georgia still to come. That, however, is peripheral for me in this case. Let's just savour that one of the most pernicious manipulators of political power will no longer be in Washington.

A fond memory of Felon Ted:
