Porker Indicted
ALASKA SENATOR TED STEVENS BUSTED ON CORRUPTION CHARGES
FITSNews - July 29, 2008 - It rarely happens, but every once in awhile one of the jackasses responsible for running our nation’s finances into the ground gets precisely what’s coming to them.
That happened today to Republican Senator Ted Stevens of Alaska, who was indicted on seven different counts of corruption charges after he allegedly concealed hundreds of thousands of dollars in gifts from a company that benefited from his preferential treatment in the Senate.
The indictment comes almost a year to the day after Stevens’ Alaska home was raided by FBI and IRS agents.
Stevens, you may remember, is the same guy who once threatened to resign from the U.S. Senate if one dollar of Alaska’s federal pork was diverted to help Louisiana and other Gulf Coast states recover from Hurricane Katrina. Part of that pork, of course, was the infamous “Bridge to Nowhere,” a project which was finally abandoned by state officials in Alaska last year.
