Boss Stevens, the GOP’s new problemTed Stevens offered the FBI a house key, but agents said no thanks. They had their own ways to get into his home in Girdwood, Alaska. No, they didn’t break down the front door. They called a locksmith. And the news media. People could see agents in business suits taking pictures of cases of wine. One agent carried to a van a garbage bag filled with heaven-knows-what. The best reality show is still reality. And it doesn’t get much better than this. The day after FBI and IRS agents raided his home, the longest- serving Republican in Senate history threatened in a private luncheon with Republican senators to hold up the ethics bill that was rolling through the Senate. He didn’t want to give up flying home with lobbyists. |
