Ted Stevens, once again Not At All Clear On The Concept.

No, dude, you were convicted of a felony, therefore you are a convicted felon. No "waiting for the appeal", you're a convicted felon. What are you appealing? Or, that's right, you're appealing your CONVICTION.

You have a doctorate in law! It's 1950s law, but it's law. You should know this.

He's understandably confused; when he went to law school, it was understood that the law didn't apply to powerful white men.

What is it with Republicans and grasping for straws?

Larry Craig behaved in a similar manner after pleading GUILTY to that bathroom thing.

I think we need a new name for these folks: Wide-stance Republicans.

As Scooter Libby proved, convictions are only for the little people.

Not convicted until sentencing (http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/politics/2008322810_apstevenselection.html), apparently.
