Law Smash Puny Stevens.

The case against him has been building for awhile...and, today, the Hulk tie finally failed him. Longtime GOP Senator Ted Stevens (R-AK) -- he of the "Bridge to Nowhere," terrorist wife, cocaine-fighting Eskimos and "series of tubes" -- is indicted with seven counts of making false statements on his financial disclosure forms. "The indictment accuses Stevens, former chairman of the powerful Senate Appropriations Committee, of concealing payments of more than $250,000 in goods and services he allegedly received from an oil company. The items include home improvements, autos and household items."

Sen. Stevens is up for re-election this year, but given that he was already losing in the polls against the Dem challenger, Mark Begich, it's a good bet his stepping down early will only help the GOP...if they can find someone to take his place in time (and if Stevens plays ball.)
