Senators Pay Tribute To Convicted Felon

Watch the U.S. Senate give convicted felon Ted Stevens a standing ovation.

And here's Harry Reid's contribution to the love-fest:

I rise to say farewell to our distinguished colleague, the senior senator from the state of Alaska. For Ted Stevens, public service has been more than a career. It's really been his life's calling.

Uh, Harry? Corruption is not a public service. Of course it's not too surprising that Reid would call a criminal a "distinguished colleague." After all, he calls Joe Lieberman a Democrat.
