Didn't the British press already name this summer the Summer of Rage?
1First Sarah Palin gets bumped for Newt Gingrich at the GOP dinner, now Stevens' conviction is overturned - so far, not a good week for her.
Wow. Ted Stevens FTW, apparently.
2How is this a bad week for Palin? A Republican senator has charges dropped against him should be good for the Republican image, and at least be a wash for Palin.
3I'll put money on Stevens remembering who stood by him.
4Why do protesters always look like they need a good shower?
