Ted Stevens

This guy only moved to Alaska so he could run for Senate and be a downright idiot while in the Senate.

The Senator's Spokeperson has revealed that Stevens is in fact the secret senator that everyone has been talking about. What's sadder however is that Senator Coubrn said so two weeks ago at a townhall meeting. Is this a major defeat for bloggers everywhere? We wouldn't admit it...

In anycase, Stevens cited that the bill could create more government bureaucracy and Senator Stevens wasn't sure about the costs for the bill. He specifically told Senator Coubrn's office that a cost analysis should be done before Senator Stevens could remove the hold.

Stevens however is still in idiot, even though his argument seems to be legitimate. This is the same Senator who has been crowned "King of Pork" and not the edible kind. More the spending kind; he is perhaps the most vile Senator - unfortunately - living on the planet. He single-handedly earmarked some $200+ million dollars that would link two island off the coast of Alaska, together. One island has 50 people on it and a small airport, the other island has 8,700 people on it. I'm sure they needed a 200+ million fraking dollar bridge, with to cap it all off Senator Stevens name on it. Why couldn't they just take a boat?

On top of his craptastic background the Senator never attended a single hearing on the Bill (S.2590, which an explanation of can be found in my previous post) which came out of the 'Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee.' Senator Coubrn's office or somewhere thereof stated that the Bill's financial matters were discussed in some of the meeting and if Stevens really cared he would have attended.

So what's really behind this? Well it's quite simple. Senator Coubrn was the one who placed a hold on Stevens 'Bridge to Nowhere' as it has been dubbed. So Stevens held an almost year long grudge and then placed a hold on Coubrn's bill, a bill that he co-sponsored with Senator Obama. That's all it is, personal.

The entire governing decision behind Stevens hold is, personal. I thought these idiots in Congress were suppose to be Public Servants? Not Personal Self-Fullfilling Servants... I'm gonna go bang my head into a wall, several times if need be...
