Senator Ted's in trouble again; & will Sarah Palin be on the ticket? I dunno, but Alaska

By GottaLaff

Senator Ted's world is so convoluted, it's ... well, it's not unlike a series of tubes:

Alaska Sen. Ted Stevens (R) failed to declare an interest-free $31,000 loan that allowed him to turn a quick profit of more than $100,000 from a Florida real estate deal, federal prosecutors alleged in court documents filed Thursday.

Meanwhile, in a less tubey part of Alaska:

Gov. Sarah Palin (R), whose name has been floated as a potential running mate for presumptive Republican presidential nominee Sen. John McCain (Ariz.), said she has submitted some paperwork to national Republicans, but added she thinks it is unlikely she will be tapped to be McCain's vice presidential pick.

Alaska's been busy these days.
