Since AG AG isn't resigning until 9/17, maybe he could fire this federal prosecutor on his way out the door.

Ben Stevens expression reminds me of that little boy in Mary Poppins.

Actually, he has always reminded me of Eddie Haskel in Leave It To Beaver.

Don't forget the Adak pollock allocation caper- and that Ted said he had "no idea" that Ben was on the other side of the deal and therefore a recipient of his special legislation worth tens of millions of dollars of pollock quota.

He is such a jerk.
The Apple doesn't fall too far from the tree does it?

code word FALSE,
as in YES, I believe he DOES remind me of Eddie Haskell -- except that would be a slur against poor Eddie. He was a conniver, but he wasn't venal.

I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop. I don't want them to rush the indictments because I don't want him to weasel out, but I truly would like to see them SOON.

Code word: fact, as in 'just the facts please'.

And WHERE is ADN on this? This should be a FRONT PAGE story. (Of course, small town that Alaska is, we already knew who Senator A/B was.)
