FIREBRAND ALASKA SENATOR TED STEVENS UNDER INVESTIGATION

Ted Stevens, the senator best known for yelling "NO!" on the Senate floor a lot and for wearing his Incredible Hulk tie on important vote-days, is now under investigation.

Oh yeah, he's also known for having no flippin' clue what the hell the Internet is, at one time calling it "a series of tubes."

Yeah, THAT Ted Stevens. (FREAK!)

It turns out that he's under investigation. Well, not just him, but Alaska Representative Don Young, as well. What are they under investigation for? They're both Republicans--what do you think? For taking bribes.

Here's more from [http://www.adn.com/front/story/9161182p-9077780c.html|a July 25, 2007 article] from AP.org available at ADN.com:

Young is being investigated for his alleged ties to Veco, the Anchorage-based company whose former top two executives -- including former CEO Bill Allen -- have pleaded guilty to bribing Alaska state lawmakers, the Wall Street Journal, citing anonymous sources, reported on its Web site late Tuesday.

Investigators are trying to determine whether Young or U.S. Sen. Ted Stevens took bribes, illegal gratuities or unreported gifts from Veco, the newspaper reported, citing only "people close to the case."

It really shouldn't be so entertaining to me when guys like this get in trouble like this. I just enjoy irony too much!! I mean, what's more ironic than a Republican getting in trouble for (possibly) taking bribes? Republicans are supposed to be honest, conservative and CHRISTIAN!!

What's the point of carrying that label if you're not going to live up to it? .
