Sen. Stevens Indicted

Alaska Senator Ted Stevens has been indicted on 7 counts of giving false statements to investigators about services he received from the company that renovated his home. Stevens, 84 is the longest serving Republican Senator and has been active in Alaska politics since before it was a state (crazy, but apparently true).

The Feds have apparently done their homework on this and the blogging feeding frenzy on the left and the right has already begun. Either way: this is very bad news for the GOP whose Senate prospects look dim to begin with and Sen. Stevens is in a great deal of trouble. Calls for resignation have already begun. (I'd expect it by the end of the week if not before.)
