Maybe Rob’s showering buddy will appoint him to the Senate.

She could do worse.

The Debate is over!  Global Whining has been confirmed.

I’m not cut out for life in the Senate.  Plus, I’m not old enough.

The war against illegal plunder has been fought since the beginning of the world. But how is… legal plunder to be identified? Quite simply. See if the law takes from some persons what belongs to them, and gives it to other persons to whom it does not belong. See if the law benefits one citizen at the expense of another by doing what the citizen himself cannot do without committing a crime. Then abolish this law without delay … If such a law is not abolished immediately it will spread, multiply and develop into a system.

Rob’s recently listened-to songs:

Of course there may be a problem with Rob fulfilling all of the constitutional requirements of the job.

We’ll work around that somehow.

The Debate is over!  Global Whining has been confirmed.

You know, Rob, that reporting bad things about Republicans will cause some of the liberals around here to have their head ‘splode!

Those who think the party or the country, will be “taught a lesson” by handing the levers of power over to the liberals will learn a lesson, but it will be at the expense of our country and her liberties. And there are no guarantees that the party or the country will come out stronger, more conservative or better positioned to win elections against the incumbent liberals.

Lawd Almighty ... have no mercy and bestow the power of your lightning upon that suit wearin’ devil Stevens. 

Seriously, he takes his 1200 sq ft home and doubles it to 2400 sq feet and people go into shock? The guy is a millionaire (20+ more senators are richer than him) and he should be expected to live in 1200 sq feet? Admit it .. I bet very few of us live in that small of a house.

I don’t know, 1200 square feet is mighty big for an igloo.

Where did you get that, Anna?  It aint in the article.  One would expect that someone that has been peddling influence as long as he has would have a mansion more like 12,000 sq ft.

Being liberal is never having to admit you’re wrong

That would be a very big igloo.

Anchorage Daily News reported that the FBI and a federal grand jury were investigating an “extensive” remodeling project at Stevens’ home in Girdwood. The remodeling work, which more than doubled the size of the modest home (public records show that the home is now 2471 square feet and valued at about $441,000-which means that it was less than 1200 square feet and less than $200,000 in value before the remodel) occurred in the summer and fall of 2000.

docdave, That is not to say I don’t think the guy is a bit on the shady side of reputable. From what I have read I do believe he is guilty of a lot but whether they are illegal or unethical in nature I couldn’t say. Obviously, from the size and value of his house compared to others I think the Feds were extremely lame for making that their main focus for publicity purposes.

Gee I would have sold him my 1900+ house for $300,000 twice what it’s worth.  Of course, he might have had some expense shipping it to Alaska.

No way, not the highway to nowhere senator? How can he be corrupt?

NARAL’s (abortion) political director Elizabeth Shipp acknowledged it “would help” the pro-choice movement if a Republican proved it was possible to win the presidency while still supporting abortion rights (ie… Rudy Giuliani) .

I noted that somehow the (D) that usually goes behind a politician’s name identifying his party was conveniently left out of the article.

If he had been an (R) it would have been in there. Betcha.

Must have been an oversight.

If he had been an (R) it would have been in there. Betcha.

Stevens is an R.

All Alaska elected federal officials are under investigation, all are R’s.

One point: Reporters and partisans are always calling these sorts of things “raids.” Oh, bull. Stevens knew about the event beforehand; his lawyers has been informed. They searched his house, they served a warrant, etc. They didn’t “raid” anything—that would mean an utter surprise. Not as sexy, but let’s be accurate in the interest of fairness.

Woof,

Stevens is an R.

You’re right. He is. Oops.

Election ‘08 - We Are So Screwed

No harm done and very excusable ... they just make it too darn easy to assume a shady politician is a democrat.

Stevens is an R.

You’re right. He is. Oops.

Yeah, just barely too.

Ted Stevens offered to send the FBI a key to his house, but the FBI official who contacted Stevens refused the offer and instead said agents had ways of getting in on their own.
Apparently they believe breaking in is more new worthy.
They entered the home on their own without a key and of course, media were there to capture the event.

Below is a picture of Stevens remodeled home:

“a lavish remodeling of Stevens’s house in Girdwood, an exclusive ski resort” FOXNews

The remodel consisted of enclosing the lower portion of the home to add additional living area.

Anna: Thanks that was very informative. Can you recall where you got that information? I am no fan of Steven’s but right is right and I don’t like heavy handed methods by the FBI.

No matter the age or state of health, for a military man it is always glorious to tilt at windmills, rescue a fair Dulcinea and be a gallant knight in armor in a glorious cause.

Neiman thats how I feel.  If someone has allegedly done wrong but is willingly cooperating then they should be treated with some decency.
A good questions is did they alert the media about Jefferson in New Orleans so it could be made into a media event?
Also, I don’t understand the reasoning for such a fabrication of the “extensive”, “lavish” or “complicated” home remodeling. If you take a look at additional pictures ... there is nothing complicated or of quality work.

That house doesn’t look near as nice as one of my friends, who lives in Fairbanks…

LOL, My house looks better than that and thats not a compliment.
If he’s got money it isn’t in the remodeling.
