Yeah, Like That's Going to Happen

An unsigned editorial in the New York Times has this to say about Senator Ted Stevens (R), of Alaska.

"There is only an amorphous criterion against behavior that brings “shame” upon the Senate. So far, the Ethics Committee has offered no hint as to whether the senator’s home-state dealings merit official shame and sanction. We would hope to see Senate clubbiness at least ruffled by Mr. Stevens’s blithe dealings."

The catalyst for this unsigned statement is the fact that Stevens somehow, ala Hillary Clinton investment techniques, managed to parley a 50K ...investment tailored for him by a developer into a personal fortune of perhaps a million dollars or more in real estate.

Don’t expect any statements of condemnation from the senate.  I am thinking, though, of writing Senator Stevens.  I happen to have access to 50K and I’m wondering if he and his developer have any other such wonderfully profitable investment opportunities available.  Maybe he and Hillary, in a beneficient act of bipartisanship, could walk us all through the steps needed to succeed in the world of lucrative investments.
