Sen. Ted Stevens (R-AK) is a crook and one of the most corrupt men in all of Congress — and that’s really saying something. It’s unfortunate that the indictment was for violations against the False Statements Act. Which is just the Feds way of NOT bringing real charges for real crimes.
However, keep an eye on what happens with Sen. Stevens in the coming weeks — and you’ll get a clear distinction between how the GOP deals with indicted members vs. how the Donks do so.
Unlike Rep. William “Cold Cash” Jefferson (D-LA), Sen. Stevens will be pressured to resign by his party. Unlike Rep. Jefferson, Sen. Stevens will resign.
And the “Congressional White Caucus” won’t jump to defend Sen. Stevens the way the Congressional Black Caucus did for Williams.
Why? Because Sen. Stevens’ actions — just like those of Sen. Jefferson — are indefensible.
Oh, and the fact that there isn’t anything as absurdly segregationist and just plain absurd as a Congressional White Caucus.

With the possible exception of Rep. John Culberson (R-TX), Sen. Tom Coburn (R-OK), Sen. Jim Demint (R-SC), and Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-CN) — I think we should expel every other member of Congress and start over with people of honest and integrity…but more than that, people who don’t think my money is their money. Leaders committed to truly small and limited government.
Sadly, our country is headed in exactly the opposite direction.






Stevens should have been gone a long time ago. However, his career will be revitalized if he switches parties.
