You can read all you want elsewhere about today’s indictment of Senator Ted Stevens. The only thing I want to note here is the news in the indictment that Stevens allegedly used his office to assist VECO–the firm that “oversaw a construction project in 2000 that doubled the size of Stevens’ home”–with international projects in Pakistan and Russia. But on this sad day, I do want to post a link to an old Jon Stewart interview with the senator. If forced from the Senate, Stevens and his work helping regulate the series of tubes known as the Internet will be sorely missed.
