2. Surely he can use the Internets to escape!
After all, a man can't escape on a dump truck - but a series of tubes? He's as good as gone! If he sent himself in an Internet today, he might not be heard from again until Friday!

As long as the tubes don't get clogged, that is. It happens to the Internets sometimes, you know.

I support bi-partisan lieberman half truths that support homeland security
reforms for my district.

9.  Sen. Stevens worried about his ‘employment potential.’
The FBI is currently questioning Sen. Ted Stevens (R-AK) as part of “a public corruption investigation that has led to charges against state lawmakers and contractors.” The AP reports today that Stevens, who is 83 years old, is worried that it may hamper his re-election efforts:

The worst thing about this investigation is that it does change your life in terms of employment potential. It doesn’t matter what anyone says, it does shake you up. If this is still hanging around a year from November, it could cause me some trouble.

11. We can only hope
and he can go home to Alaska in shame, driving over that wonderful bridge to nowhere he wanted to build so badly, taking his "tubes" with him. At last, his career will be down those tubes! :rofl:

12. The old you scratch my corrupt nasty asscrack and I'll scratch your
corrupt nasty asscrack. Stevens is such a pathetic sack. I hope they uncover a lot more on this slimeball. He reeks of true corrupt Republicanism.
