Ted Stevens Convicted, Still Has Name on Alaskan Landmarks

Alaska Senator Ted Stevens was convicted today of seven counts of making false statements, a verdict that renders him a felon. Guess that means he won't be voting for himself on November 4!

The recent trouble notwithstanding, Stevens is larger than life in his home state of Alaska, where his name adorns everything from the Anchorage airport to a research center in Juneau.

Earlier this year, we tracked some of the senator's pet projects with our Ted Stevens' Alaska Map. Now that he's been convicted, maybe we should to add his Girdwood home (pictured) to the list?

Adventures of Link: Ted Stevens' Alaska Faves

He may be the country's longest-serving Republican senator, but Ted Stevens was indicted today on seven felony counts of making false statements in a corruption case. Prosecutors say the 84-year-old took gifts of more than $250,000 in exchange for political favors.

Stevens says he's innocent of all charges, and he's the first senator to face a federal indictment since 1993.

Despite his statements, the senior senator is dogged by corruption allegations. So in honor of these latest charges, we've mapped some of the more, uh, controversial places that he's been involved with. Unfortunately we couldn't find an address for his notorious "series of tubes."
