Jaunty Dumptruck O’ News! Ted Stevens Indicted!

Friends,

This just warms my heart

Now who's tubes are clogged?

(CBS/AP) Government sources tell CBS News Republican Alaska Sen. Ted Stevens has been indicted on seven charges related to a corruption probe.

A federal grand jury in Washington has handed up the indictment against Stevens — which the Justice Department is set to announce very shortly.

Stevens, 84, faces seven counts of false statements involving VECO, the oil services company in Alaska, and the renovations done on his home.

They should’ve indicted him for the fine work he did on the Commerce Committee, but we’ll take what we can get.
