From July 2, 2008, in Anchorage Alaska. Palin says she has "great respect for" Stevens and says her position on earmark reform is based on Obama and McCain's support for reform.
Ted Stevens: Guilty on all counts.
IWRC* Palin: Guilty of being unfit for office on all counts.
She can't give a definitive answer? Still? Really?
Sarah Palin said Monday Sen. Ted Stevens' guilty verdict "is a sad day for Alaska."
It's a sad day for IWRC, too, what with that whole guilt by association thing and all. You know what I mean: how she recently expressed her "great respect for" a convict and stuff (see video)? Yeah, that guilt by association.
"This is a sad day for Alaska and a sad day for Senator Stevens and his family," she said on the tarmac at Richmond International Airport. "The verdict shines a light on the corrupting influence of the big oil service company up there in Alaska that was allowed to control too much of our state. And that control was part of the culture of corruption that I was elected to fight, and that fight must always move forward regardless of party affiliation or seniority or even past service.
"As Governor of the State of Alaska, I will carefully now monitor the situation and I'll take any appropriate action as needed. In the meantime, I ask the people of Alaska to join me in respecting the workings of our judicial system and I'm confident that Senator Stevens from this point on will do the right thing for the people of Alaska," she also said.
And by "respecting the workings of our judicial system", I'm sure she was referring to her own superduper cooperative efforts in the TrooperGate matter.
Palin did not respond when asked if she will vote for Sen. Stevens and promptly boarded the campaign plane.She has to think about this? Voting for him is still an option for her? Birds of a feather, I suppose.
*"In What Respect, Charlie?"
