Ted Stevens, the longest serving Republican Senator ever, and of course without saying, the undisputed 'King of Pork', was a true legend in Alaska for bringing home the bacon. Both a mentor and obviously a huge influence on the 'Pork Princess' - seen in their big spending and propensity for lying and corruption - Stevens was yet another reminder that when they say, 'conservative', they don't really mean, 'conservative'.Ted Stevens, who helped shape modern Alaska with federal laws and billions in federal dollars but whose 40-year Senate career ended ignominiously when he was narrowly defeated for re-election in 2008 after a corruption conviction that was later voided, died Monday in a plane crash in southwest Alaska. He was 86.
Unless of course, you're just using the word to describe a mean old prick.
