Ted Stevens Doesn't Care What You Think

Despite being under investigation for accepting bribes from special interests, Ted Stevens is continuing to solicit campaign funds from (you guessed it), special interests (sub req). In his defense, he needs to raise money the old fashioned way, because he can't seem to squeeze money out of those damned internet tubes.

Undeterred in the face of a federal corruption probe, Sen. Ted Stevens (R-Alaska) is hosting a small klatch of top lobbyists and others this weekend for a fishing and fundraising trip to his home state.

The getaway, billed as the “Ted Stevens El Capitan Fishing Event,” combines “three days of some of the best salt water fishing you will ever have,” according to the invite, with a fundraising reception expected to net at least $2,300 per person for the Senator’s re-election campaign.
