and the hits they just keep coming

[Wingy]

Another RINO bites the dust. I hope they try to sell him a bridge.

More from Drudge:

“ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) - Agents from the FBI and Internal Revenue Service on Monday searched the home of U.S. Sen. Ted Stevens, an official said.

Investigators arrived at the Republican senator’s home in Girdwood shortly before 2:30 p.m. Alaska time, said Dave Heller, FBI assistant special agent.

Heller said he could not comment on the nature of the investigation.

The Justice Department has been looking into the seven-term senator’s relationship with a wealthy contractor as part of a public corruption investigation.”

I wonder if they are looking for “The Bridge To Nowhere”

Delete my post. Duplicate.

[BallyBill]

Do they have freezers in Alaska? Better check that good for some cold cash.

[RightWhale]

A few State representatives are still unindicted.

[padre35]

Does alaska have “r” for Governor?

[Jet Jaguar]

Yes we do.

[camas]

RINO maybe, but he has been there tooooo long. put him out to pasture or tundra????

[Alissa]

The ENTIRE party, not just the Rinos, ala Mark Foley, will pay for this. Right now I don’t know who I’m angrier with - it’s the last thing this party needs, meanwhile the other choice is nauseating and just as corrupt!

[wardaddy]

rut row....better now than next summer pragmatically speaking

[sball]

We’ll see if William Jefferson comes to Stevens defense.

[Fishtalk]

The bridge to nowhere notwithstanding......

.....so okay....I demand, DEMAND I tell ya, that the Repubs begin an investigation.

For the Dems assert constantly that this administration is dishonest and awash in a culture of corruption.

So why is the justice department investigating Republicans like this?

Who’s lying here?

[JimRed]

RINO maybe, but he has been there tooooo long.

That is true of most of them. TERM LIMITS, NOW!

[Kuksool]

It just keeps getting worse for Ted Stevens.

[vetsvette]

Certainly it won’t be much of a surprise to find out that the not so good Senator is a crook.

What would be a huge surprise would be if the IRS and the Bush Justice Department investigated a high level Demoncrat. But, that wouldn’t be in the spirit of being a “uniter, not a divider.”

[alisasny]

Let me know when its SPITZER TIME : )

[P-40]

We’ll see if William Jefferson comes to Stevens defense.

Yup. Wonder if Stevens knew to keep any evidence hidden in his office at work.

[ConservativeofColor]

Any cash in his fridge?

[RightWhale]

There’s a lot of oil money in Alaska. It’s been kind of loose with goings ons. Don’t believe they will repeat the Teapot Dome scandal though.

[caisson71]

Don’t stop there. Continue with his partner in crime in fleecing the American public - Senator IN-NO-WAY.

[isom35]

the internets? its a series of tubes!

OH KATHYYYYY

There is plenty of finger pointing to go around to all parties. There are 2000 FBI investigations going on right now with politicians.

[bray]

Even Rinos have the right of innocence until framed by an out of control Persecutor.

Pray for W and Our Troops

[Kuksool]

If that is the case, then I could see why the AK GOP frowned on Palin. They felt threatened by her.

[Brilliant]

Notice how they mention that he’s a Republican in the second sentence.

[bert]

The action is considered by some to be a prelude to action against Reid and Rockefeller.

The home is cleansed before going after dirtyRat houses.

[RightWhale]

She was also investigated during the campaign. It’s hard to find anybody in politics in Alaska who hasn’t been targeted in one way or another.

[rineaux]

he p’o’d someone in the higher ups. stevens forgot how to play ball.

[RightWhale]

It’s a way of political life in Alaska. Wasn’t always this way. When there was plenty of dough to go around there wasn’t so much complaining, but it’s tightening up and opponents are looking at misuse of letterhead stationery as good enough reason to make an issue.

[RetiredArmy]

The hole the RINOcrat-Spineless-Loser-Chicken S**t-Weasles-Bums-Cut & Hide from Marxist’s-Whining-Chicken S**t (repeat several times) just keeps getting deeper and deeper. The chances that the Marxist’s will gain total control of the US government in 2008 grows hourly. The end of the Republic is in sight, and these bums in the RINOcrat party in Congress and with the total loser Jorge W. Bush assisting them daily, the Republic is Damned to ruin. Thanks Jorge and your fellow liberals in the RINOcrat party. You have basically destroyed the Republic.

[Jet Jaguar]

Good point. I noticed he canceled his trip up there today.

[Jet Jaguar]

“The action is considered by some to be a prelude to action against Reid and Rockefeller.

The home is cleansed before going after dirtyRat houses.”

Good move, if they will follow through.

[Dengar01]

Stevens is the biggest pork barrel Senator in the history of the Congress, I hope he gets a nice orange jumpsuit with his name on it.

[Jet Jaguar]

Pork barrel is not illegal. (it should be)

This is something more.

[Integrityrocks]

Wow. You guys are out for blood. I personally don’t think Stevens is guilty. He’s a politician, yes, but he’s not stupid and this would be really stupid. As far as the bridge to no where, that propaganda story has been so used, abused and twisted it will never rise from the ashes with any credibility, but there really is another side to that story. Lighten up you guys. Alaska is heads and shoulders above most states for the “good guy” column.

[RetiredArmy]

“The action is considered by some to be a prelude to action against Reid and Rockefeller.

I won't be holding my breath on the first comment above. The spineless SOBs in the Gutless Rino party will do NOTHING.

[Integrityrocks]

For all the antagonist that can’t stand the money Ted has brought to Alaska, I will remind every one AGAIN that over 70% of the State - the largest state in the union - is owned by the Federal Government. Stevens has brought Federal money here to predominately fund Federal land issues. If the Liberal Dems want to keep 70% of the state out of State hands, then they must pay for it.

[hole_n_one]

I guessing that when you contemplated what your FR handle was going to be, Mr. Sunshine never made the list.

[Petronski]

Pork barrel is not illegal.

It is if they can prove a quid pro quo. Then it's bribery or influence peddling or some such.

[RetiredArmy]

Nope. I used one I earned.

[traditional1]

Nostrildumbass will convene yet ANOTHER Committee to investigate...

[SeaHawkFan]

If Stevens is guilty, he should go to prison.

That said, what is taking so long to indict Jefferson; and why is the FBI not investigating Reid’s land deals in NV and Feinstein’s connections to government construction constracts which she helped send to her husands business?

The IRS, FBI, and DoJ are run by liberals who won’t prosecute Democrats. Why did Berger get a nothing sentence over serious felonies involving national security and Libby was denied a fair trial.

[Jet Jaguar]

Then the grand kleagle should have a bunch of worrying to do.

[lardog]

It's way past time that we get together with people like yourself, retired military, and like minded people, put together a trans continental army and go after these bastards. IT'S TIME FOR A REVOLUTION
