Pundits Say The Darndest Things

Yesterday Ted Stevens was indicted by a federal grand jury for making false statements concerning the bribes and/or gifts he received from certain Alaskan companies. It is one more mark to add to the litany of criminal and moral offenses the GOP brand is about when it comes to the stewardship of our government. Yet for one pundit (and I presume many more on the right) it could be an opportunity for John McCain.

From Politico:

Ted Stevens, the long-serving senator from Alaska and former chairman of the powerful Appropriatons Committee, is to be indicted today on seven criminal counts. No word yet from McCain or the campaign, but I'd be shocked if they didn't at least subtly remind voters about the clashes between the two senators over the years. McCain often likes to brag that Stevens had once deemed him, "The Sheriff," for his crusading ways.

John Cole tags this one under General Stupidity, I couldn't agree more. Of course, if John McCain wants to talk about Senator Stevens' indictment, then by all means, go for it!
