Alaska's Sen. Stevens stomps into town, looking for fight (Seattle)

The lady has stood up to the playground bully, identified by his trademark "Incredible Hulk" necktie, and tomorrow he comes into our neighborhood to beat her up.

With the moxie to block a backdoor bid to open the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to drilling rigs and haul roads, and the gall to demand that oil executives be sworn in at hearings, freshman Sen. Maria Cantwell, D-Wash., has angered powerful Sen. Ted Stevens, R-Alaska.

snip
"I am going to go to every one of your states, and I am going to tell them what you have done," he said of colleagues who wouldn't let the oil industry have its way with America's greatest wilderness.

"And I am sure that the senator from Washington will enjoy my visits to Washington because I am going to visit there often."

3. Ted - pul-lease oh pretty pul-lease stomp your way here to Delaware

so we can laugh our fucking asses off at you. We're glad that Biden & Carper oppose drilling there. It's a sad day when Alaska's own senators won't take care of their own state
