Senator Ted "Bridge to Nowhere" Stevens Indicted

I'm not terribly upset about this:
WASHINGTON — Sen. Ted Stevens, R-Alaska, has been indicted on seven "charges related to (his) holding of public office," two federal government sources told FOX News on Tuesday.

The Justice Department has announced a 1:20 p.m. ET press conference that a release says is "regarding a criminal matter."

Nearly one year ago to the day, federal investigators raided Stevens' Alaska home as part of a probe of his relationship to an oil field services contractor convicted last year in a state corruption case.

The contractor, Bill Allen, in 2000 also oversaw construction for a major renovation of Stevens' house in the ski community of Girdwood. Stevens has claimed he paid for all the construction.

Now if they can just get rid of Congressman Don Young maybe we can stop sending billions of dollars to Alaska for projects that aren't needed.
