Well I’m just shocked beyond shock that one of them nice Republican fellars. Sen. Ted Stevens, R-Alaska, could do such a thing like taking bribes from big oil companies. Who woulda thunk? Well I would for one. When I look at his picture, it comes to mind that this guy(and all like him for that matter) would sell your grandmother off to the Arabian sex trade if he thought he could make a buck from it. The red tie is always a dead give-a-way, it’s a signal that he is for sale, kinda like Sen. Larry Craig’s, R-Idaho, “tapping your foot on the restroom floor” signal.
The ABCNews article says: “renovations to Steven’s home such as a first floor, a wrap-around deck, “a new Viking gas range, a tool storage cabinet and an automobile exchange” were all received from the oil company Veco. VECO International, Inc. is the largest oil field services company in Alaska. It is also extremely interesting to note that this company was created the exact same year that Senator Stevens was elected to the Senate, 1968. Man, I bet they’ve made some sweet deals over all that time.
There is no word about any charges that might be levied against the oil company. But we all know that they are just as guilty. How the hell do we ever expect to claw our way out of our current situation with guys like this around?
