Sen. Ted “Series of Tubes” Stevens has been indicted for failing to report over $250,000 in gifts. Sen. Stevens is a national disgrace, and I join with the editors of National Review in calling for him to resign immediately. Furthermore, Sen. McCain should disavow himself from Sen.

Former White House Press Secretary and commentator Tony Snow has passed away from cancer at the age of 53.
