When the probe began ,Ted urged constituents "not to form conclusions based upon incomplete and sometimes incorrect reports in the media." Dont worry Ted, your constituents can now form conclusions based upon indictments.
What did Ted do? From May 1999 to August 2007, prosecutors said Stevens concealed "his continuing receipt of hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of things of value from a private corporation." The company was VECO, an oil services company and big player in the pro-ANWAR lobby.
The indictment released Tuesday said the items included: home improvements to his vacation home in Alaska, including a new first floor, garage, wraparound deck, plumbing, electrical wiring; as well as car exchanges, a Viking gas grill (!), furniture and tools.
If any thing the Stevens scandal shows why Republicans are so hot to drill for oil everywhere vice look for long term solutions to the energy mess they created: the prizes are better.
The Tuesday inditment was the first of many inside sources say. On the bright side, Ted and his cronies ," will get some drilling, however "drill" may take on a whole new meaning.
