Republican U.S. Senator Ted Stevens, R-Alaska, just got indicted on seven counts of political backscratching and back room deals. The legal papers define it differently, but that's essentially the case - the senator is accused of not disclosing thousands in services he got from a business that helped renovate his home.
And some DOJ flunkie is saying their policy is to keep politics out of their jobs.
Sure, I believe that, don't you? This thing has been brewing for months and months and it just happens to reach a head three months before his toughest election?
OK, let's say it is a super convenient coincidence. Regardless of whether it's been manufactured, it'll still accomplish the same goals. Democrats will likely gain a seat in the Senate, keep or even grow their majority in the House and then capture the presidency. Republican gaffes will continue until and through the election cycle and virtually guarantee that the pendulum of politics increases the speed it's swinging left.
Bad or good, who can tell. Just keep a firm grip as the swing picks up speed.
