More on Sourpuss Tax Dollar Multimillionaire Senator Ted Stevens

Also from the Carpetbagger Report, which I found pretty interesting considering how Stevens' behaved yesterday (even more poorly than usual; he's a crazy old crank with serious delusions of grandeur at his state's expense and his wallet's expansion):

All Sen. Ted Stevens (R-Alaska) wanted for Christmas was for the Senate to approve his plan to drill the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge for oil. No such luck. The question then becomes what Stevens is prepared to do about it.

First, he apparently plans to do some traveling in order to spite everyone who voted against ANWR drilling.

"I'm going to go to every one of your states, and I'm going to tell them what you've done," said Stevens, the leading advocate of drilling in Alaska. "This was wrong."

Second, Stevens has to decide whether to even stay in the Senate at all. After losing the ANWR vote last night, Stevens complained, "This has been the saddest day of my life. It's a day I don't want to remember. I say goodbye to the Senate tonight. Thank you very much."

Did that "say goodbye to the Senate" line mean that Stevens will no longer grace the chamber with his presence? According to MSNBC (via Atrios), it seems like a real possibility.

Hey, Ted, don't let the door hit you in the derriere on your way out the door. The Senate would be a better place with you gone. But who will sell out the last unblemished molecule in Alaska for your profit when you're gone?
