The Washington Post is reporting the indictment of Senator Ted Stevens, R-Alaska, on corruption charges: "The 84-year-old Stevens, dubbed 'Uncle Ted' by the friends and constituents who reaped the benefits of his nearly forty years in the Senate, secured or played a significant role in 891 earmarks worth $3.2 billion to Alaska between 2004 and 2008."
Rico says it is good to be the prince, and even better to be a corrupt one...
"Senate Republicans greeted their colleague yesterday with hugs and smiles, even as they dumped campaign contributions the Alaska senator had given them. The mixed message: We love you, Ted, but we won't let you bring us down."
