Ted Stevens is a total loser

This idiot is a disgrace to the United States Senate and the state of Alaska. He's a complete sellout to oil companies. Now he's attacking Senator Cantwell and Washington State:

Sen. Ted Stevens, the powerful Republican from Alaska, has proposed a bill to expand a Washington state oil refinery and increase the number of oil tankers moving through the Strait of Juan de Fuca and Puget Sound.

The legislation would overturn the so-called Magnuson Amendment, a law passed in 1977 to reduce the risk of oil spills in Washington waters by limiting the number of oil tankers that could dock in the Puget Sound region.

[...]

"Profits are at an all-time high for oil companies, but now they want to jeopardize the Puget Sound so they can ship more gasoline to foreign markets to make another buck," Cantwell said. "Well, they can't buy this senator, and these attempts won't get by me."

Stand firm, Maria, and we'll stand with you. Ted Stevens' office is going to hear from us about this. In fact, we're going to start bombarding his office regularly demanding he keep his oil slicked hands off Washington State.
