In the meantime, some leading progressive bloggers are taking umbrage at the reaction to the Stevens' indictment from Democratic senators, including Daniel Inouye and California's Barbara Boxer. Even though Inouye's comments were limited to "he's innocent until proven guilty," and Boxer simply said she needed more information before commenting, the reaction from some bloggers like Matt Stoller has been swift:
Is everyone that comments part of the 9% of the country that approves of Congress? Do you realize how out of touch you are when you defend this kind of behavior? Don't you see that when you cheer the Bush Department of Justice and excuse the enabling Democrats in the Senate you are part of the problem?
Stoller also links to a Swing State Project post from earlier this year, noting Inouye held a fundraiser for Stevens.
