Ted Stevens’s Re-Election Goes Down A Series Of Tubes

Remember our good friend Ted Stevens? Crusty old man, knows nothing about the internet? No, not John McCain. Anyway, he’s currently working on getting re-elected to his Senate seat in November. Unfortunately, he will face a few hurdles there. First, there’s his aged crustiness. Second, he has that unfortunate reputation as the “series of tubes” guy (which, if you know who Ted Stevens is, is probably the ONLY reason you know who he is). And third: he’s been indicted on federal corruption charges. Yeah, that’s probably not really something you want to feature in your campaign materials.
