Ted Stevens was indicted on 7 sounds of bribery/fraud/corruption yesterday as a result of an FBI probe. Mr. Stevens, that brilliant Senator who once declared the Internet was a complex “series of tubes” ironically did not get booted from office for being incompetent. Clearly, competence is not a prerequisite to holding high office.
But taking bribes from someone who has already plead guilty to bribing certainly does not look good for the aged Senator. But it looks good for the Senate. We don’t need people in office who take bribes, especially bribes from oil companies. How much is enough, dear Senator? And, I must ask, was it worth it?
