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.
