Beleaguered congressional Republicans woke up Tuesday morning thinking they’d gained traction with their focus on offshore oil drilling and hoping that they could pin the “culture of corruption” on Democrats.Republicans, God's a tornado and you're a trailer park. Just lie back and think of Reagan and it will be over soon.
By lunchtime, the longest-serving Republican senator in history had been indicted on charges that he hid $250,000 in gifts from an oil company looking for favors.
Can it get any worse for the GOP?
“This is very bad for the party,” a retiring Senate Republican told Politico as news of Ted Stevens’ indictment echoed across Capitol Hill on Tuesday. “The timing on this couldn’t be worse.”
One year ago today, Stevens pleaded with his Republican colleagues to “stay with me” as he rode out a Justice Department investigation and an FBI raid on his Alaska home.
Now, there’s an arrest warrant out for the 84-year-old senator. He’s been stripped of his top committee rankings. His iconic career is crumbling. His hopes for reelection are in serious doubt.

God hates Republicans
Really, how much clearer does he have to be?

Well, he's 84 years old, and it's safe to say that they won't put him in jail. It's also safe to say that he won't end up penniless on the streets. He has no idea how lucky he is.
But karma is good.
