Sh*t can’t decide whether Ted’s voice is crackly or a little nasally or both.
Ted:
The internet is not something
you just dump on . . .
Congress is
my privy chamber

Although most of the benefactors of Veco’s largesse were from the GOP, two prominent Democrats also received large donations from Veco, ex-Governor Tony Knowles, and current AK-at-large U.S. House candidate Ethan Berkowitz. After Veco’s corruption surfaced, but before the company was sold, Berkowitz, when asked by the Associated Press about his campaign donations, flatly refused to consider returning or donating the tainted money.

In the current AK-AL House race Democratic Primary, Berkowitz is running against progressive Diane Benson. Berkowitz has been endorsed by the DCCC, Rahm Emanuel’s PAC, and other anti-progressive forces. His list of contributors includes several Fox Corporation executives, Bill O’Reilly’s producer, Henry Kissinger’s company, mortgage bank partners involved in the sub-prime meltdown, a lot of lobbyists, and the top executives of the war profiteering Carlyle Group.

HooooWeee Rahm Emanuel! Says something for the man that his protegee his sharing the same happy mojo as Ted Stevens.
I am completely inspired by Ted now. Bad poetry to follow:
(In Ted’s crackly voice)
I spread the happy mojo around
And fellow goopers danced to the happy sound
of the Bridge to Nowhere
Now you ungrateful kids abandon me
when the chips are down
Arlen, Norm, Susan
you kids hold on to your stink infested incumbencies
And I’ll run as I please.
*cackle, cackle*

Heh! Really bad I know but fun as hell to write.

Oh well…sometimes shit happens. Sucks for Ted, though. Then, again, we’ll take our yucks where we can find them.

If I may be so bold,
The men whom oil has sold
Has a grammatical mistake in the second line

If truth be told.

“Senator Stevens, who endorsed McCain in February, is facing serious felony charges, yet all we’ve heard from McCain on whether he will continue to accept Stevens’ support is the sound of silence,” said Alaska Democratic Party spokeswoman Kay Brown.

“The question is simple. Will McCain continue to accept Sen. Stevens’ support and endorsement? Or, will John McCain denounce Ted Stevens’ improper behavior that led to these charges?”

That statement is truly a work of art. Democrats on target. Hurrah!

‘evening, all!
Love and congrats to all the poets…isn’t it funny as hell how the only coherent fragment in the Stevens answer was “all the Democrats involved in this…”
