Another shoe drops

Sen. Ted Stevens (R-AK) is in a whole heap of trouble.

Former Veco chairman Bill Allen might have been on the witness stand to present bribery evidence against a state legislator, but the biggest shock of the day -- perhaps the entire trial -- was his assertion Friday that he or his company financed a substantial portion of the remodeling of U.S. Sen. Ted Stevens' Girdwood home.

That, boys and girls, sounds a lot like bribery.
