Call That A Legislature Raid? Pfft.

The offices of at least six Alaska legislators, including the son of Sen. Ted Stevens, were raided by federal agents searching for possible ties between the lawmakers and a large oil field services company, officials and aides said…. Four different teams of at least six federal agents each spent hours searching offices on each floor of the Capitol. Among the offices searched was that of Republican Senate President Ben Stevens, the son of Sen. Ted Stevens, R-Alaska. Agents left Stevens’ Capitol office Thursday evening with 12 boxes of documents labeled “Evidence” and loaded them into a vehicle. Frankly, I’m unimpressed. (Tempted to make “the penal system is a series of tubes” jokes, but unimpressed.) It’s all so derivative… and misses some of the key elements of our scandal. Where are the drugs? The unbelievably lengthy trial delays? The teased-out contents of search warrants? http://www.robcottingham.ca/20060901/you-call-that-a-raid-on-a-legislature-pfft/
