FBI agents taped more than 100 phone conversations involving Sen. Ted Stevens as part of their public corruption investigation, Stevens' attorneys said today.
The FBI's trove of secretly recorded conversations has already been the highlight of trials in Alaska, but the size of its collection against Stevens has until now been unclear. The sometimes-graphic conversations between hard-drinking oil contractors and corrupt Alaska politicians helped the Justice Department send three state politicians to prison.
One has to wonder if old Ted Stevens didn't stop every so often during his phone calls to tap his hearing aid to get the clicking to stop.
"Annie! Annie! This damn hearing aid is making that clicking sound again! Goddamn piece of junk!"
So stay tuned kids! Jury selection for the Ted Stevens corruption trial begins on September 22nd! Get your tickets now!
Though to be honest Uncle Ted will really have to work to compare to the spectacle of the Sarah Palin "babygate" and "Troopergate" fiasco's. Our little Sarah has certainly set the bar to brand new heights.
Oh I can just barely hide my pride at all of the attention my state is receiving from the national media.
Maybe I should start my winter drinking program early.
Kidding aside, I was just thinking that we (family and I) should visit Alaska on holiday next summer.
ReplyDeleteOne of my close friends worked in Alaska (She was with the anti-organised crime task force.)and used to speak a lot about how beautiful Alaska is in Spring...
I'm pretty sure that with all the attention your state is getting, your tourism industry will double or treble.

A note to all by Anne Kilkenny
Dear friends,
So many people have asked me about what I know about Sarah Palin in the
last 2 days that I decided to write something up . . .
Basically, Sarah Palin and Hillary Clinton have only 2 things in
common: their gender and their good looks. :)
You have my permission to forward this to your friends/email contacts
with my name and email address attached, but please do not post it on
any websites, as there are too many kooks out there . . .
[ This was already posted on Washington Independent comments area,
with a controllable hotmail account, and was obviously meant by the
author to be read. ]
Thanks,
Anne
