Stevens Indicted
By Drink the news like sweet, sweet wine.
Sen. Ted Stevens, the longest-serving Republican in the U.S. Senate and one of the chamber’s most powerful members, was indicted Tuesday in Washington, a result of a year-long investigation into corruption in Alaska politics.
The indictment comes nearly one year after federal agents raided Stevens’ home in Girdwood, a resort town about 40 miles south of Anchorage.
Since my political predictions rarely pan out, I’ll note that I was half right in November: Stevens did wind up indicted, but the state Democratic party is actually running a candidate who can, and now should, defeat him.
