BREAKING: Sen. Stevens' home raided
KTVA.com: (h/t Richard)
The IRS and the FBI have exercised a search warrant on the home of Senator Ted Stevens in Girdwood.
"All I can say is that agents from the FBI and IRS are currently conducting a search at that residence," said Dave Heller, the assistant special agent in charge of the FBI's Anchorage office. The search began this afternoon, he said. It's the only such search warrant currently being served, he said.
He directed other questions to the U.S. Justice Department's Public Integrity Section in Washington. A spokesman there had no comment.
Federal investigators and a grand jury looking into public corruption in Alaska have been asking questions about a 2000 remodeling project at Stevens' home, particularly the involvement of the oil field services firm Veco.
Har! Avast, lubbers/ Salmons' revenge!
there is a god! :)
pissed off patricia @ 2:
Amen to that!
Shocked! Shocked I say. Start shredding Ted!
Can't wait for Fox News to label him a Democrat!

Really?
Heeheeheeheehee.....
snark snark let's build this bridge to no where not a soul will pay attention
Adios Ted
maby the old prick will jump off that bridge to nowhere!
They didn't take his tubes did they?
Biggus Diggus @ 6:
I get it. ;)
Heeheehee.
Wow. Today's turning out to be ok afterall.
He is just an old FUCK isn’t he?
Are they looking for tubes?
Maybe we need to build a bridge from Alaska to Guantanamo. I have a feeling he'll come clean after about 3 seconds of waterboarding.
Cry me a river, Ted. Hahahahaha.
Funny comments. ROFL.
What do you expect from someone who calls the internets a series of tubes. Lord knows what they found in his pad after the raid :P
repigs the armys going to give you chickenshits a twenty thousan bonus to get your jock shot off in iraq , gettem while their hot boys ,its an easy twenty grand!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
See ya, Ted
it might be hard to find what's in his house- it's a series of tubes.
If he had breasts, like Hillary, we could talk about his cleavage... but since he only has tubes... Let's talk about tying them...
tyree @ 12:
How about drivin' off it on his Skidoo? I'd shell out $25 to watch that on pay-per-view!
Captain Kangaroo @ 13:
Nope, just tied them.
Vitter in diapers and Stevens with his hand in the cookie jar - could it get any better? Oh yeah, we're still waiting to hear from Larry Flynt.............
TUBES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
tyree @ 23:
Tyree..my nephew got offered 34 grand to re up in the marines plus another 6 grand to volunteer to go back to Iraq.He says the money looks good.When I asked him if he would want his little brother the enlist he said (rather strongly) NO...he's 19 w/a purple heart already......
Boo. The only thing that investigators found was a series of tubal interwebs.
Come on now everybody, be nice to Ted. I think he's hot.
Psst. Psst. Look under the sink in his bathroom. He took the money out of the freezer and put it in the bathroom.
Can we give Alaska back to the Soviets where the current Repugniscums in power up there will be more welcome and in context??
Anyone who votes for or even supports a Repugniscum in this country is an enemy of the people.
Until the Repugniscum's fight to remove the rampant and deep corruption in their party then they are a criminal gang!! Not a political party!!!
Can't understand why he didn't try to hide in one of his tubes.
TruthSeeker @ 3:
I see, so NOW there's a god, but he was either too busy or too lazy before? I'd say there is poetic justice, perhaps, or comeuppance, sure, but god, no.
CG @ 32:
They looked in the wrong place if they checked his hard drive fer evidence.
Stevens has the incriminatin' records on his PC, though. Literally on his PC, in a shoebox.
This remodeling job of Stevens' house took place in 2000. The FBI, after seven years, is finally investigating Stevens' role in this matter. Perhaps the fact that the Republicans had control of the House had something to do with them looking out [or overlooking] one of their own. Now if only Gonzalez's and Bush's and Cheney's criminal past will be investigated, albeit a lot more quicker than is the case with Ted Stevens.
THE GOP- THE GIFT THAT KEEPS ON GIVING...........WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The evidence is lost in a series of tubes...
dixie blood @ 35:
Uhm, a little update: They're just plain old Russians again.
;)
Ted, will you properly report your income?
NOOOOO! I will not!!!
Didn't steal some bridge going nowhere or something?
Given the corrupt nature of the Gonzalez justice department, Mr. No! must have really screwed up to find himself being raided.
I gotta say this the reugs are ahead in the corruption game.what is it?Livingston so far (in recent terms)is the only Dem who has been charged w/corruption.On the darkside we have Abrahmoff,Ney,Stevens,Libby,Foley(weird)...I know I'm missing some here.OH YEAH...Cheney,GONZALES,Boosh.....lets see ...who else?Theres been so many I can't keep up anymore.
are those ice road truckers using his bridge?
mudshark @ 46:
Livingston? Do ya mean Jefferson from Louisiana? Hope there's not 2!
Can't forget good ole Ken Lay.....( major contributor to the Boosh campaign.
You see, prison is like one short tube- with a cap at each end!
Seriously, is there a Republican who isn't corrupt? And who are the worthless scumbags who continue to support this criminal gang?
Will Randy "duke" Cunningham be getting a room0mate?
Hmmmmm?
I just can't stop smiling right now. This is the greatest thing I have heard all week. I'm going to take myself out for ice cream. I wonder how long my posting will take to arrive in its tube?
Oh, and Ted. Should we go easy on you? NO!!! You creepy little bastard.
and the 999th paper cut....
So is prison also like a series of tubes? Hopefully Stevens will be able to tell us all in a few months.
There has to be a higher standard for our public officials with regard to criminal behavior, especially when that criminal behavior is aided by their official position. Politicians and police (just to name two examples) should receive double the normal sentence or an extra ten years for their crimes, whichever is greater (and they get to go to big boy prison, not club Fed). Maybe you can't always get the best and the most honest to serve, but you can at least put some real fear into them so they stay honest in spite of their true nature.
mudshark @ 46:
How could you not add Tom DeLay...
Andy K @ 48:
Your right Andy...For some reason I was thinking of Bob Livingston(R).....he was the guy who couldn't take the Speakers job .
Hehehehehehe...........tubes......
Doggiebobo @ 56:
I swear to Gawd I can't keep up with these guys anymore......but thanks for adding to the list.
Doggiebobo @ 56:
Or the Duke-stir?
He's probably just hit 'send' right before they entered the room to get the evidence hidden in the tubes...
hate to be a downer but up here unless he's literally imprisoned he'll sail through re-election until the day he keels over and dies on the senate floor. We already named the airport after him for god's sake. People usually have to be dead to have stuff like that named after them.
At this rate, there won't be any republicans left to Vote Out in '08. They'll all be in jail.
Wonder if that experiance will change their views on gay rights issues?
Senator Stevens appears to be a man who's in the NO !!!!!
DOH!!!
Dominos, I tells ya.... Dominos! And I'm not talking pizza.
Andy K @ 60:
stirred not shaken.....
ryan @ 62:
Oh Yeah, well when we are done with him you'll have to re-name that airport Ms. Senator Stevens.
mudshark @ 57:
With yer Livingston & dixie blood's Soviets, I am beginnin' to think there are forces afoot causin' us to channel the zeitgeist of the '90's.
BTW, just heard this new group on the radio. Check out the Dave Matthews Band. Unlike anything I've heard before!
Andy K @ 60:
ryan @ 62:
People usually have to be dead to have stuff like that named after them.
In Alaska maybe, not in the REAL WORLD!!!
Quick! Hide the Webular Netular Intertubes!
Senator Stevens, may I introduce you to your cellmates........
Ben Dover & Phil MyCrakin.
Hey fellas, the new guy is into tubes.
mudshark @ 31:
tell the boy a hundread yrs from now hell never miss that thirty grand , people dont give you that kind of money unless they use you , when the war ends theyll shit on all these new vets , buisness as useual!
miss_kitty @ 61:
'send' or 'flush'?
Fer all I know, Ted thinks PC stands fer Personal Commode.
Why not just convert Congress onmto a prison? Will save a heck a lot of money building a new one to house all the pollies who are caught raiding the till.
It's Grumpy's turn to be busted criminally. He's toast now!!
its time to fill up thoes haliburton concintration camps with repig politicians!
Lets not have the Ted Stevens corruption trial in Alaska. May I suggest a change of venue to say...San Francisco?
Robert @ 75:
Or why not turn the whole country into a prison?
Oh, wait, Bushco's workin' on that one.
You don't actually believe this crook is going to jail, do you?
Dear God, I'm absolutely giddy at the prospect of this dirtbag being taken down. Could this be Xmas in July???
WOW! Ted Stevens in trouble - especially in Anchorage - is nothing short of amazing. This man is to Alaska what Huey Long was to Louisiana.
Not disappointed. Just shocked.
Da Spyda @ 72:
Ted.....Bubba say.....you da wife.....(is there quorum present, by any chance?)
The only reason I can think of that Alaska keeps electing this unpleasant clown is that it's filled with uneducated misanthropes who moved there because they hate the human race.
Andy..Dave Matthews huh?...I'll check him out sometime...
jwazzz @ 29:
I thought Vitter was caight with his hand in the nookie jar?
I don't care, let the people of Alaska rise up in defense of Stevens.....all twelve of them.
Markus @ 80:
Do they have old folks' prisons?
No! Not another corrupt Republican? He didn't make this shitpile, he just climbed to the top of it.
didn't ole' ted have some company add an entire new floor to his house? for free?
he must have got his coupon for that deal off the internet truck.
what a maroon!
Do you think Ted has $90,000 in his freezer?
By the way, is Rep. William Jefferson STILL in Congress?
Again, yet another diversion from impeach, impeach, impeach.
Snowball @ 84:
nope! VOTING MACHINES!!!
What is with all these politicians who use illegitimate means to posh up their already comfortable lifestyles? They're already living better than the vast majority, but they feel they need still more. What more could Ted Stevens think he deserves? Wow, what a putz.
when HE calls for the soldiers to come home post-haste, then i'll be suspicious and hopeful at the same time. hopeful it will be a jailhouse epiphany. suspicious that it's him.
Arroyo @ 91:
Ok Ok I conceed...One iffy Democrat and FIFTY CORRUPT REPUBLICANS.
Will this have meaning at the ballot box?
Yep.
Lasthorseman @ 92:
Ah but we are multi-tasking!
The Truth Hurts @ 17:
Yes, and when they are found there will be a tubal litigation.
myiq2xu @ 86:
........And the list keeps on growing....pretty soon it will take on a life of it's own.
NotLRon @ 94:
..This is what I call a typical repugnican.money money money......everything else comes second
Arroyo @ 91:
yes he is! he is pleading NOT GUILTY. he claims to have been cooperating with an FBI investigation when they turned on him.
considering the justice department record on Dems during Ashcroft/Gonzo, I'm starting to lean in that direction myself. Here in NJ, our Fed Atty conducted a witch hunt series of ads against Menendez before the 2006 election.
It so happens that he was being 'reviewed for replacement' during that time.
He kept his job.
I rest my case.

off topic...Did I hear K O correctly when he said that AG Gonzales got Boosh off jury duty so that a 1996 drunk driving conviction would become public?...............
dixie blood @ 102:
jezze thats got to sting!
[Quote edited-Sitemonitor]
WOW!
Can the CONservatives from the GOP go even lower? Funny, RepubliCONs have to resort to name calling, throwing bs to bring down Democrats. RepubliCONs on the other hand, simply do the job themselves. They bury themselves ever so nicely.
tooooooooo funny! :-)
The Republican Congressman from Alaska is also under investigation, and it looks like the other Republican Senator from Alaska, Lisa Murkowski is also in trouble for having purchased her home, far below market value, from a contractor. She recently announced that she was getting rid of the house. FBI, get there before she empties the place out.
...
According to Wikipedia, Stevens has been Alaska's Senator since 1968. That is at least twenty years too long for any politician to be in office. They just aren't clued in to the current state of affairs when they've been there that long. Politicians should have both term limits and mandatory retirement at 65.
What is with all these politicians who use illegitimate means to posh up their already comfortable lifestyles? They’re already living better than the vast majority, but they feel they need still more.
It's not what they have but what they see other people having. When they see others making many millions off of shady deals, flying around in private jets and living the life of royalty, they start thinking, why aren't they getting that rich as well. The climate of corruption is self-propagating.

Hypocrisy Defined
Today the dictionary made advances in its ability to define "Hypocrite." From here on, the book of definition should use Ted Stevens as the ultimate example of someone who talks out of both sides of his mouth with claims to be a straight shooter who also gave the word "NO" a better meaning.
Stevens must of stood out like a beacon with an arrow pointing at him. He is the Senator who lead the efforts to drill in Alaska. He is the Senator who always, during Senate hearing, made it a point to rebuild the oil executives testimony after the Democrats created openings. It was obvious and this investigation speaks to the love affair Stevens had with oil giants.
I think of William Jefferson and the $100,000 in "cold" cash they found in his freezer. The outrage was massive and national. The right needed a poster boy, and that boy's name was Jefferson. However, if they wanted a better example, they only need look within their own Party. The money representing this crime amounts to billions or enough to buy a refrigerator factory. That would bring "cold" cash to a new level.
My mother was right, people who live in glass houses should not throw stones.

seamus @ 106:
Well hell, we only paid two cents an acre for Alaska, how much was it worth?
dixie blood @ 102:
I am curious....just exactly where in Alaska do you reside? Have been there twice on
vacations and find the State as pure and pristine as any on the "mainland".

LOL, you know it's coming. We should count it down, 5, 4, 3....
I hope this builds a bridge to a prison cell for him.
Snap Bastard @ 110:
I could be wrong about this but I do believe Alaska was purchased from Russia for 2 million dollars during the Lincoln admin by Sec State Seward...who at the time was lambasted for doing it.
Here's CNN video of Steven's home raid.

LMAO @ Series of lubes
mudshark @ 117:
Johnson administration. 1867. But Seward is the correct answer. ;)
Read this new book, author's name is Stowe. Uncle Tim's Log Cabin, er somethin'. Check it out! :D
It's Clinton's penis's fault!

Yeah but not past the bent part.

ooppss wouldn't become public..DOH....cerebral flatulance....
Doggiebobo @ 111:
I live in a place where the people know that someone like you, who think (without much effort) that people who live in Alaska are "misanthropes." They all think you are an A$$HOLE!!

Gods Beneath Us, we need "term limits" in the worst way.
We need term limits in the Congress, and in the Supreme
Court. Senator Bridge to Nowhere Stevens, and the other
"permanent" Senators need to be sent back home after
3 terms at the very most. In the house 4 terms should be
the limit.
It's a good thing there's no actual law requiring Americans to pay a tax on their labor, right Ted? That is if Ted's labor was lawful. The mindless Republican followers attacked Ed & Elaine Brown, will they attack Ted Stevens the same way?
nonbeliever @ 115:
Whoever gets the screen shot first wins a FREE CRUISE to ALASKA!
Dr. Checkum @ 128:
I'm sure you will never "forget Wet Cigars" right? You're a perv!!
So did Ted ever get his bridge?

Andy K @ 135:
mudshark @ 103:
Yes. This happened. The questionaire for potential jurists asks about convictions of felonies, Bush couldn't answer the question truthfully because signing the document is under penalty of perjury... since Bush was running for Governor... or prehaps it was his unsuccessful run at Congress just prior to that.. Gonzo got him out of jury duty so he wouldn't have to admit to this crime prior to an election and give the other side political ammo against him.
Secrets. Lots and Lots of Secrets.
Chris @ 134:
I don't know if they started buildin' it, but, yeah, he got the money fer it.
After the money , as ear-marked in the Omnibus Spendin' Bill, was dropped from that piece of legislation, Congress appropriated the same amount that had been ear-marked earlier, but just fer "general" road improvement. So the Alaskan government spent it on the two bridges.
Wow, I'm impressed. Y'mean the feds actually went through all the bother of finding a judge to sign an actual, legal search warrant first?? Things must be getting just a smidgen better these days, after all...
Andy K @ 135:

Duuuude.....Did it way back at #10....That's like, sooooo 7:15pm-7:25pm EDST.
Get with it. Ya gotta be fast, 'cause if ya blink there's another 20 Republicans under investigation.

I knew it I just knew it, Their ice cubes are smaller and yet they chargh more for them. Scumb bags
"I dont care if you have a search warrent! I want you damn kids to get the hell off of my lawn!"
Grumpy and senile old man Ted Stevens talking to law enforcement officials
(snark!)
I think Ted should open his door, see it's the FBI, yell, "NO!!" and then slam it shut in their faces.
You can do it, Ted!
mudshark @ 103:
Didn't see KO but that statement is accurate, and if I remember correctly, Gonzo was also in charge of purging Chimp's National Guard file. Apparently, he did a pretty good job at that.
