ruh roh - senator bridge to nowhere in more hot water....
So how does Sen. Ted Stevens (R-AK) slice off a few slabs of bacon from all that pork he sends up to Alaska? At TPMmuckraker.com we're closely following the federal investigation into Sen. Stevens and his son, former Alaska state senate President Ben Stevens.

It turns out that it's not just about the oil services business.

Stevens and son also have a little angle with the state fishing industry that's got the feds attention. Ted put his son Ben in charge of a board that distributed $12 million in federal money in grants to state fisheries companies. Ben in turn pulled down at least three-quarters of a million dollars in 'consulting fees' from the same fisheries companies for services the nature of which has never been disclosed.

2. What a father/son duo. Quite the act they got going, fleecing the taxpayer
and lining their own pockets.

9. Because the republicans have "owned" everything for the last
also 20 years they have taken over. Of course this last election gave the democrats a start. But the oversight is the best thing that could have happened.

It has got all the republicans very very nervous.
