good riddance

w00t.

Supposedly the news briefing is under way -- any further details?

It's been a long time since I lived in Alaska, but I'd bet they try to replace him with someone just as stooge-tastic.

So does this hand the election to Begich?

America's Oldest Living Corrupt Office-Holding Fink

When he is discussing issues that are especially important to him (such as opening up the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to oil drilling), Stevens wears a necktie with The Incredible Hulk on it to show his seriousness.[54] Marvel Comics has sent him free Hulk paraphernalia and has thrown a Hulk party for him.[55]

Fuck yeah. Bye bye, tubes man.

The incident did lead to one of Jon Hodgeman's best lines: "The senator is correct; the internet is not a truck."

Oh for fun:

Sen.Ted Stevens, at least for today, is pledging to continue his re-election campaign despite his indictment by a federal grand jury. The campaign is moving "full steam ahead," said spokesman Aaron Saunders. "Our office has been flooded today with calls and emails from supporters urging the Senator to press on. The message from them is clear: Alaska needs Ted Stevens in the U.S. Senate."

loved his "no I WILL NOT YIELD THE FLOOR" speech during the whole "bridge to nowhere" fiasco. too bad he didn't resign over that like he promised.

Alaska needs Ted Stevens in the U.S. Senate

New state motto: We always know where our asshole is located.

A meeting of the minds:

Eighty-four-year-old Republican Ted Stevens of Alaska, newly charged by the feds with corruption-related offenses, walked over to the desk of 90-year-old Democrat Robert Byrd of West Virginia yesterday morning. Byrd, in a wheelchair, clasped his friend's hands, then squinted up at him and shouted, "Say it ain't so!"

A reporter from Fox News asked Stevens about his plans yesterday morning as he walked to the Senate chamber for a vote. The senator ignored her queries, then put his arm around her shoulder. "Someone told me the thing to do is I ought to be surrounded by beautiful women," he said -- as the Fox News camera recorded the moment for posterity.

Among the most enthusiastic was Craig, who, for once, was not the central scandal figure on the floor. Craig gave his embattled senior colleague a comforting pat on the arm, then shared a private joke. When Stevens emerged from the cloakroom for a second vote, Craig again put his arm around him.

The unexpected timing of Stevens's indictment had the effect of shutting down the week's other scandal story: a report by the Justice Department's inspector general showing rampant politicization of the hiring of civil servants in the department. Among the juicier nuggets the inspector had uncovered was a collection of Lexis-Nexis search terms used to screen job applicants. The search string included: "iran contra or clinton or spotted owl or florida recount or sex! . . . or indict! or enron or kerry or iraq or wmd!. . . . or gay! or homosexual! or gun!"

homosexuals and their damn guns.
