Sweet that you "remember Uncle Ted" the way it was (?).  Somehow you forget that he left us at the time he was defeated for re-election, the only senior senator to have done so like that.  And why did Uncle Ted get sent down?  Wasn't it because he was found guilty of seven counts by a grand jury, then excused on account of a prosecutorial misconduct?  I think we found the real Ted Stevens on the radio, when his profane telephone conversation with Bill Allen, the government witness, was broadcast.  Strange that a radio broadcaster like you don't remember that.  

Must be you like visiting your version of Uncle Ted when you go to the Ted Stevens International Airport.  Me, I like better the airport we used to have, where you could see real Alaskans.
