Ted Stevens: you want some jelly with that toast?

Ted Stevens has been one of the crudest, most obnoxious, most contrary members of the Senate for entirely too many decades, trading on a "maverick" Alaskan persona which is no more true of him than of John McCain (he's also the coiner of the infamous "Intertubes" analogy). Now this, from TPM:

US SEN TED STEVENS INDICTED ON 7 CRIMINAL COUNTS RELATED TO HIS HOLDING OF PUBLIC OFFICE.

Say hello to the new Senator from Alaska, Mark Begich.
