    NOOOOOOO!

  2. AfghanVet says at 12:57 pm, July 29th, 2008

    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?

  3. shortsshortsshorts says at 12:57 pm, July 29th, 2008

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

  4. Godless Liberal * says at 12:58 pm, July 29th, 2008

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

  5. FreshCliches says at 12:58 pm, July 29th, 2008

    Indicted?

    NO!

  6. Squiggyfm says at 12:59 pm, July 29th, 2008

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

  7. AngryBlakGuy says at 12:59 pm, July 29th, 2008

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

  8. FreshCliches says at 1:00 pm, July 29th, 2008

    ManchuCandidate: NOOOO! (Well, at least I had a link.)

  9. SayItWithWookies says at 1:01 pm, July 29th, 2008

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

  10. slithytoves says at 1:02 pm, July 29th, 2008

    Bwaahahahaa!
    And I was having a shitty day.

  11. denver_80203 says at 1:02 pm, July 29th, 2008

    My god… who is keeping the tubes running now?

  12. Volumptuous says at 1:03 pm, July 29th, 2008

    This concept of “justice” is foreign to me.

  13. Monsieur Grumpe says at 1:04 pm, July 29th, 2008

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

  14. NotUrEvryDayWEzl says at 1:04 pm, July 29th, 2008

    No! Surely not!

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

  15. shortsshortsshorts says at 1:05 pm, July 29th, 2008

    Volumptuous: As is Alaska.

  16. Noodle Salad says at 1:05 pm, July 29th, 2008

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

  17. magic titty says at 1:06 pm, July 29th, 2008

    AfghanVet: No. She’s strictly dickly. And LOTS of it. She will serve at the pleasure of her warden.

  18. Volumptuous says at 1:07 pm, July 29th, 2008

    Sen. Stevens,

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

  19. AngryBlakGuy says at 1:07 pm, July 29th, 2008

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

  20. AfghanVet: 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

  21. BadNewsJack says at 1:08 pm, July 29th, 2008

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

  22. SayItWithWookies says at 1:08 pm, July 29th, 2008

    AfghanVet: Ewww — butterevil.

  23. freakishlystrong says at 1:09 pm, July 29th, 2008

    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)?

  24. AfghanVet says at 1:10 pm, July 29th, 2008

    magic titty: Ahh…so she will be shopping here: http://www.passionslingerie.com/

  25. The Intern says at 1:11 pm, July 29th, 2008

    The tumor strikes again!

    “You either die a hero or live long enough to become an indicted politician.”

  27. AfghanVet says at 1:11 pm, July 29th, 2008

    ph7: Egads…evil so close to where I work.

  28. Oooh, Wonkette needs to live blog this trial.

  29. ManchuCandidate says at 1:13 pm, July 29th, 2008

    RuperttheBear:
    I think it’s more like:
    “Do I look like someone with a plan?”

  30. georgia_peach says at 1:13 pm, July 29th, 2008

    AngryBlakGuy: OMG my favorite drink.

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

  31. trophy(forparticipation)wife says at 1:14 pm, July 29th, 2008

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

  32. magic titty says at 1:14 pm, July 29th, 2008

    ph7: so…does he look like he’ll let the twink has sex with his face, or not?

  33. edgydrifter says at 1:15 pm, July 29th, 2008

    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.

  34. KYJurisDoctor says at 1:17 pm, July 29th, 2008

    Politics and CORRUPTION seem to go hand in hand!

    *SIGH* OsiSpeaks.com

  35. Delicious says at 1:17 pm, July 29th, 2008

    trophy(forparticipation)wife: He’ll be seeing plenty of girdwood in the slammer.

  36. magic titty says at 1:18 pm, July 29th, 2008

    AfghanVet: Wouldn’t you?

  37. slithytoves says at 1:19 pm, July 29th, 2008
  38. BadNewsJack says at 1:19 pm, July 29th, 2008

    Delicious: And he’ll be seeing plenty of “tubes” in there too.

  39. shortsshortsshorts says at 1:20 pm, July 29th, 2008

    KYJurisDoctor: NO silly. Politics and Assfucking go hand in hand.

  40. Not_So_Much says at 1:20 pm, July 29th, 2008

    AfghanVet: “do you think Monica Goodling will engage in lesbian prison sex?”

    Definitely. But I doubt it will be voluntary.

  41. Gopherit v2.0 says at 1:21 pm, July 29th, 2008

    This has truly been a week of miracles.

  42. Lazy Media says at 1:22 pm, July 29th, 2008

    Monsieur Grumpe: What DOES Nelson think about this?

  43. BadNewsJack says at 1:22 pm, July 29th, 2008

    KYJurisDoctor: …Also, it seems the pope is indeed Catholic.

  44. ManchuCandidate says at 1:23 pm, July 29th, 2008

    Gopherit v2.0:
    I thought last week was pretty good, too.

  45. Scarab says at 1:23 pm, July 29th, 2008

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

  46. Cape Clod says at 1:23 pm, July 29th, 2008

    ManchuCandidate: YEEEEESSSS!!!!!

  47. RuperttheBear says at 1:24 pm, July 29th, 2008

    ManchuCandidate: or

    Harvey Dent: Does she have any psychotic ex-boyfriends?

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

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

  49. teklanika says at 1:25 pm, July 29th, 2008

    edgydrifter: 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.

  50. Larry McAwful says at 1:27 pm, July 29th, 2008

    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…

  51. Larry McAwful says at 1:28 pm, July 29th, 2008

    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.

  52. masterdebater says at 1:29 pm, July 29th, 2008

    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?

  53. Not_So_Much says at 1:31 pm, July 29th, 2008

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

  54. barcarbilly says at 1:38 pm, July 29th, 2008

    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.

  55. gulcer says at 1:38 pm, July 29th, 2008

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

  56. WagTehGod says at 1:45 pm, July 29th, 2008

    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.

  57. columnv says at 1:50 pm, July 29th, 2008

    AfghanVet: I’ve always known so.

  58. FunkyPalmettoBug says at 1:52 pm, July 29th, 2008

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

  59. supremecourtjester says at 2:00 pm, July 29th, 2008

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

  60. RuperttheBear says at 2:00 pm, July 29th, 2008

    gulcer:

    “Do you want to know how I got these enormous bales of cash?”

  61. Lazy Media says at 2:00 pm, July 29th, 2008

    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.

  62. 4everjung says at 2:04 pm, July 29th, 2008

    I think Ted should use the Ken Lay defense tactic.

  63. ReelectTilden says at 2:06 pm, July 29th, 2008

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

  64. StarkRavingMan says at 2:10 pm, July 29th, 2008

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

  65. WhatTheHeck says at 2:20 pm, July 29th, 2008

    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?

  66. gulcer says at 2:34 pm, July 29th, 2008

    RuperttheBear:

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

  67. Outstando says at 2:41 pm, July 29th, 2008

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

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

    I think Ted is about to develop a brain tumor.

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

    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?

  70. thefrontpage says at 5:01 pm, July 29th, 2008

    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!

  71. RuperttheBear says at 6:10 pm, July 29th, 2008

    gulcer: Win

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