It appears it may be Byrd as well. There are some back room scores being settled here that have bupkus to do with the bill itself.

Ted will never lose an election in Alaska. He brings home way too much bacon.
 
shame

one of the sci fi writers, either asimov or clark once had a system where we picked the best man for political positions and sentenced them to 6 years with the promise that they would get off in 4 if they did a real good job.After 30 years working around dc 10 on the hill i'm a believer.
 
Where's Jorge X. McKie when ya need him?
Woo, early Herbert for the win. I love the Gowachin legal system.

By the way, anyone here remember Ted Stephen's speech about the internet where he explains about the internets are not a thing you can put on a truck- rather, the internet is a series of tubes. I swear the man is a lobotomy patient.

I used to have a sound clip where someone chopped up his entire net neutrality speech and reorganized the words so it became a confession about how he was trying to ruin the internet. That speech is pretty funny in its original "the internet is a series of tubes" form.
 
An interesting twist....

Federal agents swarmed legislative offices around the state Thursday, executing search warrants in a coordinated series of raids that appeared to target the longstanding relationship between the oil-field service company Veco and leading lawmakers.

Above Anchorage’s 4th Avenue, FBI agents spent most of the afternoon behind the closed doors and drawn blinds of the fifth-floor offices of Senate President Ben Stevens and Senate Rules Committee Chairman John Cowdery, both Anchorage Republicans. Through slits in the blinds, one agent in Stevens’ office, wearing rubber gloves, could be seen packing away evidence in a container.

In Juneau, tourists and residents were greeted with the extraordinary sight of FBI agents hauling out files form the Alaska State Capitol after searching offices there.

Another "Stevens" in the news? Any relationship you might ask?

No one would say what was the target of the Girdwood warrant. Ben Stevens’ father, U.S. Sen. Ted Stevens, has a home and office there. Both were quiet and dark Tuesday afternoon. A neighbor said she saw no unusual activity at the Stevens home. A postal clerk reported the same for Stevens’ office, which is in the Girdwood post office.

A spokesman for Ted Stevens didn’t return several calls and an e-mail from a reporter.

Well, this is all very interesting. The timing is most interesting of all. ;)
 
Cass,

We're a gentle democracy, setting the standard for the world to follow.
Actually, the Rus have far less "auto accidents", "suicides", and "death by
unknown medical complications" than they use to. Now the Russian Tax
Ministry sends in a tactical unit to raid an office and the suspect actually
stays alive. :D
 
Byrd admitted toady he is another of the worst money grabbing Senators. I bet he hopes he dies before all his fraud is found out.

Exactly! And would hope Cunningham or others of his ilk would have a "Come to Jesus moment" and start leveling with the Great Fed Up as to how the system ensnares its victims. Far too many time a noobie gets elected to congress saying all the right things and then shortly thereafter they go native.

Best I can piece together, control over DC politicos involves
--guided investments (money)
--hidden agenda (ideology)
--campaign financing (compromise)
--personal criminal activities (extortion)

I would love Cunningham to pen a tell all book about the system and how it works. Sadly, I don't see it ever making it to print, at least through traditional channels.
