Dumbest Quote of the Year!
Asked whether Ted Stevens can still win, Alaska Rep. Don Young told the Anchorage Daily News [emphasis mine]:
"I think he can win. He's the best thing for that, for the Senate. Alaskans know this.
"[...]I think that's going to be, you know, a matter of opinion. I can remember Richard Nixon, you know, his years of service, what he's done, and everybody were ridiculing him and he ended up being the greatest president in the history of our century.
Arrogance has blinded Young so badly, he thinks it's okay for a convicted felon to serve in the Senate. And his Nixon quote? Astounding.
