Youtube tribute to Alaska's Ted Stevens.

It has been discovered that Alaska's illustrious asshole senator Ted Stevens was the mystery man that (in the middle of the night) blocked a bill to create a searchable database of government contracts to add some transparency to these deals.

I wonder why the same man that provided us with a wonderful 200 million dollar bridge to an island with a population of less than 50 people would do something like that? God knows Halliburton and KBR would grind to a halt if it were ever placed under something as horrifying as public scrutiny.

Probably the funniest part of all this is that they found out who it was by asking a hundred senators if they were the culprit, and only Ted Stevens didn't deny it.

Unless he changes his mind and removes his block, the bill will never be voted on. Knowing this, I decided to whip up a little youtube tribute to this great man, expert on government accountability and l33t hax0r of various internet tubes.
