Ted Stevens' Near Rendezvous With FBI
Sure, adversaries in Washington by day often make the best of drinking buddies by night. But when insiders at the FBI saw that Sen. Ted Stevens had RSVP'd "yes" to last Friday's annual director's holiday bash - it was difficult even for those hunters to imagine partying with their prey.
It was just five months ago, after all, that FBI agents raided the Alaska Republican's home as part of a wide-ranging federal corruption probe. And given the increasing success of the investigation, there's every reason to believe Stevens remains squarely in the bureau's sights.
Every member of Congress is invited to the holiday soiree, but Stevens was among those who had replied to say he'd actually be attending the annual FBI fete. In the end, the embattled senator must have gotten cold feet: he was a no-show at the packed party... where - you guessed it - handcuffs and holsters abounded.

Hard to believe that even a Republican would have sex with Ms. Akers. So there's no reason to believe her sources.

But the best early Christmas present Senatoe Stevens did for Florida Rep Connie Mack? Got a road going to nowhere, cutting through endangered Florida park land and benefiting a rich developer ...All for a campaign donation!
Yes, Connie Mack, who had an affair with Sono Bono's widow, dumped his wife in Florida, has his own troubles for re-election..Even if Gov Crist, who owes his daddy Senator Connie Mack, wants to help keep the boy electable....

Florida is a waste, fill the swamps with America's garbage (not just old fogies) and make some usable land out of it
