Ted Stevens Indicted

I'll avoid the "tubes" and the "incredible hulk" jokes, as most of the 'net does snark better than me.

In any case, he has been indicted on 7 counts related to concealing income from gifts from lobbyists and their firms, once again proving that it's the cover-up that will get you.

Interestingly enough, the Republicans in Alaska are so corrupt they don't have a replacement, with the most likely replacement, Sarah Palin, who is under investigation about misuse of power to get her ex-brother-in-law fired from the State Police.

Also note that the party can replace Stevens up to 48 days before the general election, so he could drop out.

That being said, I'll enjoy some Schadenfreude, and you can donate to the Democratic challenger, Anchorage Mayor Mark Begich at my ActBlue page.
