NOOOOOOO!

AfghanVet July 29, 2008 at 12:57 pm

The house of cards is beginning to fall and the timing could not be more perfect.

Now, for something completely different…do you think Monica Goodling will engage in lesbian prison sex?

shortsshortsshorts July 29, 2008 at 12:57 pm

WHO WOULD HAVE SEEN THIS COMING I THOUGHT HE WAS AS PURE AS WHITEY SNOW.

Godless Liberal * July 29, 2008 at 12:58 pm

Oh noes! On whom will John McCain unleash his senatorial spending anger when he returns to those hallowed chambers next spring?

FreshCliches July 29, 2008 at 12:58 pm

Indicted?

NO!

Squiggyfm July 29, 2008 at 12:59 pm

You know what else is like a “series of tubes?” A man’s rectum…in prison.

AngryBlakGuy July 29, 2008 at 12:59 pm

…he should have left last year when the getting(and lobbying) was good!

FreshCliches July 29, 2008 at 1:00 pm

[re=46577]ManchuCandidate[/re]: NOOOO! (Well, at least I had a link.)

SayItWithWookies July 29, 2008 at 1:01 pm

Beautiful. Guess you won’t be needing that bridge to nowhere, Senator.

slithytoves July 29, 2008 at 1:02 pm

Bwaahahahaa!
And I was having a shitty day.

denver_80203 July 29, 2008 at 1:02 pm

My god… who is keeping the tubes running now?

Volumptuous July 29, 2008 at 1:03 pm

This concept of “justice” is foreign to me.

Monsieur Grumpe July 29, 2008 at 1:04 pm

A Nelson Muntz quote seems appreciate at this time. Ha Ha.

NotUrEvryDayWEzl July 29, 2008 at 1:04 pm

No! Surely not!

Wait… you mean inDICKment! Well, of course he’s got his dick in men!

shortsshortsshorts July 29, 2008 at 1:05 pm

[re=46596]Volumptuous[/re]: As is Alaska.

Noodle Salad July 29, 2008 at 1:05 pm

You already live in Alaska – where the government PAYS you to live. Why spoil an already lucrative gig?

magic titty July 29, 2008 at 1:06 pm

[re=46580]AfghanVet[/re]: No. She’s strictly dickly. And LOTS of it. She will serve at the pleasure of her warden.

Volumptuous July 29, 2008 at 1:07 pm

Sen. Stevens,

Out West, the aspens will already be turning. They turn in clusters because their roots connect them.

AngryBlakGuy July 29, 2008 at 1:07 pm

…WOO-HOO, home from work early! Time for vodka with a vodka chaser!!!

ph7 July 29, 2008 at 1:08 pm

[re=46580]AfghanVet[/re]: Don’t know about Monica, but I just saw Kyle Sampson eating lunch at the Corner Bakery at 19 & L with some Federalist Society looking twink. Kyle short and has a five finger forehead and has eyes that resemble a post-lobotomy McMurphy in One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest

BadNewsJack July 29, 2008 at 1:08 pm

THERE IS A GOD!!!!!! Praise him or her or it.

freakishlystrong July 29, 2008 at 1:09 pm

Anyone read any of those wacky posts?
“Oh, grow up! Like no Democrat has ever been indicted. Like all Democrats are good. Get real. All you namby pamby liberals want is a nanny state so you don’t have to work. Just take it all from the government. Does that make you any different from those you are so quick to condemn?”

WTF does any of the above have to do with a dirty, rotten scoundrel(R)?

You can also coat the glass with a spritz of vodka if you’re fancy like that.

Is Girdwood slang for a strap-on? They have a resort town? Sweet.

magic titty July 29, 2008 at 1:14 pm

[re=46610]ph7[/re]: so…does he look like he’ll let the twink has sex with his face, or not?

edgydrifter July 29, 2008 at 1:15 pm

And it true Ted Stevens fashion, the good Senator from Alaska will simply refuse to comply, refuse to enter a plea, and refuse to show up for the trial. And then nothing will be done about it and Ted will be relaxing in his compound chuckling as he shovels bales of money into his fireplace six months from now when the whole affair blows over.

KYJurisDoctor July 29, 2008 at 1:17 pm

Politics and CORRUPTION seem to go hand in hand!

[re=46580]AfghanVet[/re]: “do you think Monica Goodling will engage in lesbian prison sex?”

Definitely. But I doubt it will be voluntary.

I thought last week was pretty good, too.

Knowing Ted Stevens he will handle this indictment with class and dignity.
Let’s watch and see…

Alfred: You have no idea how corrupt Senator Ted Stevens is.

Just send His Majesty to a remote Aleutian island with nothing but a Swiss army knife.

teklanika July 29, 2008 at 1:25 pm

[re=46633]edgydrifter[/re]: Alas, entirely too true. This is hardly the first time that he’s been accused of being sketchy. He’s a greasy bastard, though, and always gets out of it. HATE.

Larry McAwful July 29, 2008 at 1:27 pm

Don Young, Sarah Palin, Ted Stevens… are there no honest Republicans in Alaska? I mean, there aren’t any honest Republicans in the other 49 states, so I don’t see why we should expect any up there, but still…

Larry McAwful July 29, 2008 at 1:28 pm

Better watch out for Senator Stevens when he puts on that Incredible Hulk tie. That means he’s angry. You won’t like him when he’s angry.

masterdebater July 29, 2008 at 1:29 pm

It’s so unfair. It’s just influence peddling and other time honored Washington stuff. No one got killed or anything. Jeeze, isn’t there a way our president could help Ted out?

Not_So_Much July 29, 2008 at 1:31 pm

If Yosemite Sam Stevens winds up in the clink, he’s going to really learn about a whole new series of tubez (steak)…

barcarbilly July 29, 2008 at 1:38 pm

Apparently there was a bit of a delay in the ‘series of tubes’ to Alaska:

No one answered at Stevens’ Senate Office in D.C. and the answering machine recording said that the office was closed. In a call to his Anchorage campaign office, the staffer who answered responded, “What?” when asked for a comment on the indictment, followed by a long silence. The staffer would not give further comment on whether or not the office knew that the indictment was handed down today.

gulcer July 29, 2008 at 1:38 pm

Harvey Dent: The famous Ted Stevens. Rachel’s told me everything about you.
Ted Stevens: I certainly hope not.

WagTehGod July 29, 2008 at 1:45 pm

He should learn from his GOP colleagues that if he wants the buttsecks that much, he doesn’t have to go to prison to find it.

columnv July 29, 2008 at 1:50 pm

[re=46580]AfghanVet[/re]: I’ve always known so.

FunkyPalmettoBug July 29, 2008 at 1:52 pm

Stevens should rent Papillion to find out what kind of tubes await him in prison.

supremecourtjester July 29, 2008 at 2:00 pm

As the head of the Senate Appropriations Committee, does Ted Stevens get to select Miss Appropriations of 2008 ?

Lazy Media July 29, 2008 at 2:00 pm

Srsly, Ted and Monica are going to wind up working on their tennis games at a federal day care in Alabama, not go to PMIA prison. But I guess it’s fun to fantasize.

4everjung July 29, 2008 at 2:04 pm

I think Ted should use the Ken Lay defense tactic.

ReelectTilden July 29, 2008 at 2:06 pm

I hope some of those earmarks went to build a cushy minimum-security prison.

StarkRavingMan July 29, 2008 at 2:10 pm

It’s wonderfully ironic that the party that hates trial lawyers has to hire so many of them.

WhatTheHeck July 29, 2008 at 2:20 pm

I hope the Feds didn’t use any illegal wire-tapping/snooping to indict this guy, ’cause
you need a court order to do such dastardly, underhanded things. Right?
Oh, did the presnit just sign something or the other into law about snooping on its citizens?

gulcer July 29, 2008 at 2:34 pm

Bruce Wayne: [to Rachel] You know that day you once told me about, when Alaska would no longer need Ted Stevens? It’s coming.

Outstando July 29, 2008 at 2:41 pm

He’s like the epicenter of corruption, which means that he surely has enough dirt on Bush & Cheney to wrangle a pardon.

S.Luggo July 29, 2008 at 3:14 pm

I think Ted is about to develop a brain tumor.

Mr. Herpes July 29, 2008 at 3:46 pm

My prediction: Ol’ Ted and Bob Byrd will have a come to Jesus meeting on the Senate floor with both of them speaking in tongues right there on C-SPAN. They’ll get teary about the great and wonderful Senate and how mistakes get made when you’re busy doing God’s work. Come to think of it, Claude Pepper used to speak in tongues, too, didn’t he? What? You mean he really talked like that?

thefrontpage July 29, 2008 at 5:01 pm

I’m Ted Stevens, and I approved this house renovation.

I’m Ted Stevens, and I approved this indictment.

I’m Ted Stevens, and I have a brain tumor!

Shame on all of you. Ted Stevens does not have a brain tumor. I know this because he hasn’t twittered about it yet.
