This just made my week!!!Alaska Republican Senator Ted "The Internet, It's Like A Series Of Tubes" Stevens was formally indicted on 7/29/2008 after a years long investigation into his rather questionable realtionship to VECO, a very powerful oil industry contractor in his native Alaska. He is charged with accepting and concealing illegal gifts and services over a value of $250,000. Uh, let's call it for what it really is folks, B-R-I-B-E-R-Y!
His buddies at VECO were paying him off in goods and services (including extensive and pricey renovations on a home of his in Alaska) for legislative favors. And of course, being the true-blue die-hard Republican he is, he took it without the slightest thought that what he was doing was not only illegal but downright sleazy and a slap in the face to those citizens who voted for him. And predictably, his Republican buddies are calling him a hero, a brave man and other implausible nonsense. You guys honestly think ANYONE is going to believe that BS anymore? And I can just see the Fox News crowd saying that he;s the victim of a plot by commie liberals. Oh if ONLY the government was competent enough to pull off such a thing.
And at 84 years old and having been in Congress BEFORE Alaska became a state, you have to wonder, didn't he make enough money already on our dime? And the fact he's running for re-election to the Senate against the Democratic mayor of Anchorage in the midst of this represents delusional thinking at its most comical! He REALLY thinks he'll just cruise to an easy victory like before. Don't think so Ted, if there's any justice you'll at least be soundly defeated. And better still, sped the rest of your useless life behind bars, where you can entertain your cellmates with your utterly HILARIOUS analogies and descriptions about the Internet.
Nice try Teddy Boy!
