Corruption Indictment For Sen. Stevens

July 31, 2008 | ISSUE 44•31

Sen. Ted Stevens (R-AK) has been charged with seven counts of corruption for failing to report more than $250,000 in gifts and services. What do you think?

Geez, 250,000 Alaskan dollars? How much is that in regular dollars?

I'll bet that little children all over Alaska are heartbroken that their hero, Ted Stevens, would do such a thing.

Tony Legas

I'm sure a thorough investigation will reveal this is nothing more than a series of personal gifts given in exchange for political influence.
