Republicans Can Bring Home the Bacon Too

Lest anyone suggest I play only Republican ball in politics for linking to posts slamming pork pusher John Murtha (D) from Pennsylvania, let me offer up another abomination of pork--Sen. Ted Stevens (R) of Alaska.

This is the same Ted Stevens that threatened he would leave the Senate floor on a stretcher if amendments were passed to a transportation bill that would have rerouted some $223 million earmarked for his pet bridge to one needing repair/rebuilding after Hurricane Katrina.

Now it seems that Ted's son might be getting some financial benefits from his pork dipped Dad.

I'm with John Hawkins who tells Senator Ted: "Retire Sooner Please"
