Sen. Ted Stevens' home raided by FBI, IRS

Various news outlets are reporting that FBI and IRS agents are raiding the Girdwood, AK home of Senator Ted Stevens (R-AK) this afternoon. Stevens is most known for explaining the "...internet is a Series of Tubes" last year [ed note: and for wanting to switch phones "while i ride my motorcycle"].

"All I can say is that agents from the FBI and IRS are currently conducting a search at that residence," said Dave Heller, the assistant special agent in charge of the FBI's Anchorage office. The search began this afternoon, and is said to be the only such search warrant currently being served. Heller directed other questions to the U.S. Justice Department's Public Integrity Section in Washington, and a spokesman there had no comment.
