Alaska Republican Sen. Ted Stevens was charged Tuesday with making false statements after a wide-ranging probe into ties between an energy company and lawmakers in his home state, according to a federal indictment.Given that the Republican governor and sole Republican member of the House are both coming under investigation as well, we might just be seeing a clean sweep in Alaska. Bring it.
In a 28-page indictment from a federal grand jury, Stevens was charged with seven counts of making false statements on his Senate financial forms.
FBI and Internal Revenue Service agents searched Stevens' Alaska home in July 2007 in connection with the probe, which has already snared two oil-company executives and a state lobbyist.

I should say that I hadn't seen Atrios's headline (HULK SMASHED) when I dummied up that picture.
Given our massive readership, I can only assume he stole it from me.
Man, check out those lips. Someone's been getting a little crazy with the collagen injections.
His mouth doesn't even look human. Is it fish-like? Create From The Black Lagoon-esque?
Creature from the Black Lagoon -- thank you. I've been trying to place that mouth for a day now.
Ted Stevens, Nightmare Fuel.
