Sen. Ted "Tubes" Stevens Is Indicted

Posted by kdawson on from the eating-our-own-pork dept.

Many readers are letting us know about the indictment of Sen. Ted Stevens on seven counts of making false statements on his financial disclosure forms. We discussed the raid on the senator's house a while back. Everyone's favorite technologically challenged senator is the longest-serving Republican in the history of the upper house. An Alaskan paper gives deep background on the probe that has ensnared Stevens and a number of other Alaska political figures.

      No, it was the Spanish Inquisition. Poor Ted never even saw it coming.

    He's an 80+ year old Senator

    Age is not an automatic criteria for cluelessness

    You ignored the part about him being a Senator
