This is the guy that lead age 65 into being the law of the land. We will shortly see if he follows the law.

Hope he dies in prison. If he is convicted he will lose his pension and government benefits. Those changes were made after CA US Rep. Duke Cunningham was convicted. http://www.acepilots.com/vietnam/cunningham.html

As an Alaskan, I would like to raise my glass to Senator Ted Stevens and thank him for his many years of public service. During Teds tenure he was able to make Alaska the #1 state for receiving pork barreling. "Thank you Ted Stevens"!

The only thing Terrible Ted deserves is a cellmate named Bubba in a federal PMITA prison.

Someone should give him soap-on-a-rope for his upcoming prison term. A more corrupt politician I have not seen in a long time. He's now a poster boy for the Obama campaign.

Thanks for scr@wing the industry with Age 65 you old dork!

I guess trouble isn't really trouble unless you have someone to blame.

Oh sweet irony if he's convicted and gets sent to a federal lock up in West Virginia. A prison built with the Pork brought in by the only Senator who was once in the KKK and out porked Stevens.

Dream on. This is America. Politicians of Stevens stature don't go to jail. At best, he'll get a fine and a slap on the wrist.

I suppose the scariest part is that since he'll be tried by jury (yes?), it will be his fellow Americans who give him a pass.

Tell that to Duke Cunningham.

He'll learn a whole new meaning for "a series of tubes."

Well...the good part is if you live in Alaska, you can vote against him in November...if you don't live in Alaska, then maybe you can send his opponent a campaign contribution.

But ( and this is the best part) where you can really get back at the ones who made Age 65 happen....you can vote against your congressman in November...and your Senators ( who voted "unanimous consent" on age 65).

And to make it really sting...write them a letter explaining why you will not be supporting them in November...then follow it up with a phone call to their office.

you could even work for or contribute to their opponents campaigns.

Ted will continue his service in the pen. He will have the same status as "father gagen" and will be used for shank stabbing practice. I for one will cheer when his slimy blood is washed down the shower drain and he is placed in the ground, I do hope the embalmer puts a stake through his heart so he cannot come back to life.

Or you could admit that the bulk of the pain the pilot profession is going through currently has nothing to do with Age65.

Good point , but it would take all the fun out of the grade school whining that most pilots do.

I wonder if they will rename the ANC airport if he's convicted.

Let me guess, you are a happy 61 year old airline pilot? It's great that you have DC-3 time and you can remember the good-ole days. Quit being a roadblock for others and get back to the golf course old man!

Now, back to the original topic...
