Another crooked Republican got indicted today. Ted Stevens, senior Senator
from Alaska, has been taking bribes and, apparently, not hiding the dirty
money very well.

Mr. Stevens, 84, was indicted on seven counts of falsely reporting
income. The charges are related to renovations on his home and to gifts
he has received. They arise from an investigation that has been under
way for more than a year, in connection with the senator’s relationship
with a businessman who oversaw the home-remodeling project.


An octogenarian (who was probably headed for retirement) couldn't contain
his greed. Instead of completing a long career of honorable service and
retiring with the respect of the nation, he chose to sully himself in a
tawdry money-grubbing scheme.

It's a good thing the Republicans proclaim themselves the country's morals
watchdogs. God only knows how disgraceful the scandals would be if the
Democrats were in charge.
