Stevens Calls Charges Against Him “Not Some Extreme Felony”Sen. Ted Stevens (R-AK) is making good on his promise “to travel to any place in the state. . . to listen to Alaskans.” On Saturday, Stevens visited the small town of Ketchikan, for their annual blueberry festival and gave an interesting quote to the Ketchikan Daily News (sub. req.):
“This is an indictment for failure to disclose gifts that are controversial in terms of whether they were or were not gifts. It’s not bribery; it’s not some corruption; it’s not some extreme felony.”
Interesting defense, senator. We wonder how that will go over with the judge.
