Hours after Alaska Sen. Ted Stevens was indicted today, his GOP colleague Sen. Elizabeth Dole sent his money to charity.

Dole donated $10,000 from her campaign to the Society of St. Andrew, a Christian anti-hunger organization, to equal the cash received this cycle from Stevens' political action committee, Barb Barrett reports.

Stevens, the longest-serving Republican in the Senate, was charged this afternoon by the U.S. Department of Justice with seven counts of failing to disclose more than $250,000 worth of gifts to businessmen currying his favor on federal projects.

Stevens is one of the Senate's most powerful members.

Dole received two $5,000 payments on a single day in March 2007, according to campaign finance reports.

Dole faces a tough re-election race against Democratic state Sen. Kay Hagan. Hagan called on Dole today to return a total of $21,000 that Dole's campaign received from Stevens and his committee between 2001 to 2007.

Some interesting names from Kay Hagan's donor list:

* Carl Icahn, of New York, billionaire financier and current scourge of Yahoo!, gave $4,600 last December.

* Thomas F. "Mack" McLarty, of Washington, D.C., former Clinton White House spokesman, gave $2,300 in mid-March.

* George Soros, of New York, billionaire financial speculator and philanthropist, gave $2,000 in mid-June.

* Phil Spector, of Pasadena, legendary music producer, gave $250 on June 27.

Though Spector is a frequent donor to presumptive Democratic candidate Barack Obama, his donation was problematic since he is currently waiting for a retrial in a noted murder case.

The Hagan campaign refunded the Spector donation three days later.

A campaign spokeswoman had no comment.
