Former Senator Ted Stevens, the embattled and clearly corrupt Alaskan politician best known for spearheading the pork-filled "Bridge To Nowhere" and engaging in other self-serving business deals, may have been a victim in a plane crash this morning in Alaska.

The plane may have been heading for, ironically, the Ted Stevens International Airport in Anchorage.

UPDATE:  CBS News via Twitter reports he is dead.  Also a local Alaska station.

UPDATE AGAIN"  Confirmed.
