It's Not Like I Was Indicted By A Grand Jury Or Anything!

Series of Tubes Stevens is priceless.

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."

Yeah, here's the thing. It is a felony. I don't think that the judicial system has yet gone the way of skateboard videos and rated felonies on the "extreme" scale, so for the moment, a felony is a felony.

I'm hoping Stevens' lawyers work this statement into their opening remarks before the judge: "You honor, my client broke the law, but he didn't BADLY break the law."

When Mark Begich beats him in November, will Stevens go back to the Senate on account of it not being an "extreme" defeat?
