FBI Taped Sen. Stevens' Phone Calls

AP:

The FBI, working with an Alaska oil contractor, secretly taped telephone calls with Sen. Ted Stevens as part of a public corruption sting, according to people close to the investigation.

The secret recordings suggest the Justice Department was eyeing Stevens long before June, when the Republican senator first publicly acknowledged he was under scrutiny. At that time, it appeared Stevens was a new focus in a case that had already ensnared several state lawmakers.

Will the huffster's come out in support of the Sentoar if it is determined that the FBI taped phoen conversation on his office phone?

Or is that outrage only allowed for democratic congressmen?

Would someone please unscrew the lid from Steven's head to see if he's got even half a brain?

STEVENS, DELAY, CUNNINGHAM...THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG. REMEMBER THE TITANIC WENT DOWN WITH JUST A SMALL HOLE FROM A SMALL PART OF THE ICEBERG. WAIT UNTIL THE TRUTH COMES OUT ABOUT BU$HIT, CHENEY, RICE, FRIST, BOEHNER, CRAIG AND VETTER AND THE REST OF THE FILTHY LYING PIGS KNOWN AS REPUKLICANTS.

oh well, mr. tubes, time to hide behind that Incredible Hulk Tie.

the Republicans Congress now has the distintion as the den of thieves. tsk tsk !

Ever see the house he supposedly is being investigate for? A clap trap. Looks like a barn.

If he's convicted he'd get no pension according to the new rules. Good. But at his age(80), he probably won't collect for long.

NO, NO, NO..

oh wait that's what Ted Stevens would say..

like if asked the question.. should we stop killing our kids in Iraq.. Ted would reply NO NO NO..

like if asked the question.. are you a corrupt whore.. Ted would probably say NO NO NO..

like if asked by the contractor for payment.. ted would say NO NO NO.. then he would point the contractor to the lobbyist so the contractor could get paid..

Btw, I tried to call him to "congratulate" him, but he's not answering his phone.
Senator Warner's was busy all day today too, don't know if he was getting swamped with calls or had his phone off the hook.
