‘Ted Fans’ scrap plans for 9-foot tall statue of Sen. Stevens.

Plans have been scrapped to “erect a nine-foot-tall…statuary tribute” to Sen. Ted Stevens (R-AL) at the Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport. According to the Anchorage Daily News, “Ted fans decided that…recently vocal enemies of his successful delivery of federal largesse to Alaska might use the project to disparage him.” Last week, Stevens revealed that he had been asked by the FBI “to preserve records as part of a widening investigation into Alaskan political corruption.”

1. Sen. Ted Stevens (R-AL)

It's AK not AL, I think AL is Alabama but Stevens is still a hero to most Alaskans for no discernable reason that I can understand.

2. Ted Stevens is a god. He deserves a statue.

And a temple to place it in.

:rofl:

to erect a suitable monument! :shrug:

13. You don't make a Ted Stevens statue out of mouse poo!

4. I believe it's against DU rules to mention "Sen. Stevens" and "erect" in the same post.

If isn't, it should be!

:rofl:

7. You might think so at first, then you'll start screaming and realize it is real.

There are people fucked up enough out there in America to put up a 9-foot tall statue of Ted Stevens.

9. Maybe we are doomed after all.

Excuse me, I have to go buy some more dehydrated and canned food, plus more bottled water.

Got to check on that filter and the progress toward my wind generator.

And get another couple of guns: the wife wants a .357 with a scope on it.

10. Isn't Stevens The "Internet Is a Bunch of Tubes" Guy?

Also, he's the guy that yelled, "No!" on the Senate floor?

[Hissyspit]

11. Yes. n/t

12. Would the statue be bronze or made out of a series of tubes?
