In Stevens Case, the Medium is the Massage

Here’s a little more dish on the case against indicted GOP senator Ted Stevens. The Justice Department released a new filing today, adding a few items to the list of gifts that Stevens allegedly received from “personal friends” and failed to report on financial disclosure forms. Among those items, according to the filing:

– “a $2,695 massage chair.”
– “a $3,200 hand-designed, hand-constructed stained glass window, built to specifications provided by the defendant and his spouse.”
and:
– “a sled dog, valued at approximately $1,000.”

Stevens’ trial is scheduled to begin September 24th. He has denied the allegations of wrongdoing.
