He survived the first one back in 1978, guess luck wasnt on his side this time.

Two plane crashes in 1 lifetime, odd.

Pork monger Byrd died a little while ago.

Pork monger Stevens died today.

Shall another pork monger die soon? Perhaps, Thad Cochran?

The fake Jesus account on Twitter said something like "Damn, sorry Ted Stevens. I was aiming for another Alaskan politician."

He was scum politically. Regardless, RIP.

This, and a career politician flies a lot more in a few years than your average Joe in his entire lifetime.

He was bushwacked out of a job. Ted Stevens was a great Alaskan and American. I was proud to have him as a Senator. Yes, I was an Alaskan too.

I stood in line for four hours. They better give me a Wal-Mart gift card, or something. - Rodney Booker, Job Fair attendee.

Yeah, and corrupt as fuck. He fit right in.

No kidding... Stevens was living proof that pork and big government are not limited to the Democrats.

He was also proof of how we would be better off without Alaska -- all they do is suck up funds from the rest of the country while they hoard their own oil wealth. They're fucking useless as a state.

It was a witch hunt where evidence clearing him was ignored. He did nothing wrong. Stevens brought back $$ for his state which pumps oil South.

Ever been to Alaska? That State is awesome. So what if they're #9 GDP in the US? What's your state? Useless? nah. Jealous?

Any state that hoards oil wealth while sucking up federal funds from the rest of us is, quite literally, a financial drain on the country. For every dollar they give to the feds, they receive $1.84. That makes Alaska the 3rd biggest welfare queen in the U.S. -- partially because of people like Ted Stevens.

Republicans always talk about how they are against pork and how they prefer smaller government, but in truth, they're just as much porkmongers -- if not moreso.

Now, admittedly, my state is a slight net drain as well, but at least NC can offset its drain by having several important military bases here. The same can't be said for Alaska.

And when you look at the long history of Alaska politicians that are porkmongers (most of them being Republican), that really does show us a trend of being a net drain on the country.
