GOP Sen. Ted Stevens was on of 14 Repug Sens. who Nayed the Ethics Bill.
All 14 senators who voted against the bill were Republicans.

Among those voting for it was GOP Sen. Ted Stevens, whose Alaska home was searched this week by federal agents probing alleged influence-peddling involving earmarks.

6. Why am I not surprised at any of those names?
The lack of surprise is underwhelming

I live in Mississippi, a truly sorry ass redneck, racist backwards state. We do have running water, thank you very much. I do apologize for those two dipshits, Lott and Cochran.

8. I believe you, but yesterday I read that he said he was against it
and he would put a hold on it because it would create a hardship for HIM to get to and from his home State. I wonder if somenoe actually changed his mind at the last minute? His statement was published in several different newspapers!

9. Coburn. Inhofe. No wonder Oklahoma is in such disrepair.
And the idiots here are gonna vote Inhofe back in office again because the Dems can't find anyone strong to run against the sorry son of a bitch.

Disgusting.

12. but, but, but
he Lives far away and needs private corporate jets to commute to work. :cry:

and as (name escapes me) said, what if one of his staffers makes an innocent mistake, and then they're subject to criminaL investigations through no fauLt of their own.

so either (name escapes me) is reaLLy dirty, or just covering up for dirty pigs (and fuck him for that too), or he's hiring staffers as they faLL of the turnip truck.... or graduate from regent university.
