FBI Searches US Senator's House

Formula for corruption: Senator in Congress 40 years, oil state. Mr. Stevens has kept in power this long by being prolific at pork. He is only the latest example of a Congress that has become rotten to the core:

Federal agents in the United States have searched the Alaska home of veteran Republican Senator Ted Stevens as part of an inquiry into corruption.
FBI and Internal revenue Service agents entered the house to investigate Sen Stevens's ties to the jailed head of an oil service company, Bill Allen.

Mr Allen was sentenced this year after admitting to bribing state legislators.

[...]Contractors have told a federal grand jury that Mr Allen oversaw a project that doubled the size of Sen Stevens's home in the Alaskan ski resort of Girdwood.
