FBI, IRS Raid Home of Sen. Ted Stevens

Posted by kdawson on from the longest-serving-republican dept.

A while back we discussed the corruption investigation aimed at Alaska Sen. Ted "series of tubes" Stevens. A number of readers sent us word that the home of Sen. Stevens was raided earlier today by agents of the FBI and the IRS. The focus of the raid was a remodeling project at Stevens's home and the involvement of VECO, an oil company.

    Just think of a men's Federal prison as a bunch of tubes.

    People in Alaksa don't pay taxes. The government PAYS people that live in Alaksa to live there. I'm moving to Alaksa, along with all the other losers.

    I don't think I'll make it as far as Alaksa. Probably stop in British Columbia.

      The government doesn't "pay" us to live here (I live in Juneau, Alaska). The people receive a portion of the proceeds from the exploitation of our primary natural resource, oil; which is only fair, considering it's our resource.

      But as an Inuit, don't you get upset that the other Americans call it "their" resource?

    You can't blame Ted Stevens here. If his understanding of federal corruption laws is anything like his understanding of Net Neutrality, he probably thought all those free upgrades to his house were perfectly legal.

    ...soooo, a guy who steals a tv should be ass-raped for it?


    As long as anybody who gets raped also gets a free TV, that's logical.

    The obvious answer here is: Because they have a corrupt senator working for them.

    Nice to know it is cheaper to buy a corrupt senator than a bridge. Supply and demand comes to our rescue again.
