Ted Stevens Indicted!

NYT:

Senator Ted Stevens of Alaska, the longest-serving Republican senator in United States history and a figure of great influence in Washington as well as in his home state, has been indicted in connection with a federal corruption investigation.

Yes! Lock the man up and get someone non-senile in there instead.

You may remember Stevens from his series of tubes remarks or simply from the fact that he’s the king of pork-barrel politics in the Senate.
