He was big with the net-neutrality bill, but how does he fare for poker legislation. Looks like he is going down in flames. FBI and IRS just raided his house. [/ QUOTE ] Wasn't he the one who said the Internet was a bunch of tubes?

It's the same criminal investigation, more or less, but Ted Stevens being personally involved is a mostly new development. This much I know, anyone who calls the Internet a series of tubes is unlikely to be on our side.

Re: Ted Stevens-R-Alaska
He is almost incoherent, at least from the two times i've listened to him in person. And last summer, at the height of the scandal, he didn't know what a presidential signing statement was. The guy is incredibly senile.
Apparently not senile enough to be able to know how to take bribes and be involved in corruption scandal, though.

Re: Ted Stevens-R-Alaska
This is Mr Bridge to Nowhere. He is old, but lives in the most reliably Republican state going. Its fertile ground for a good Lib, but the Republicans are good at making the right gestures to more indigenous people and appeasing the semi-militia/wilderness full arsenal types. He could be indicted Jefferson style and still probably win re-election. But whoever said he was for sale, is right.
