Re: Stevens Pleads Not Guilty

I'm far from an apologist for Stevens, but don't you think it might be
appropriate to wait until the trial is over before we carry him through the
streets of Washington DC on his way to the vat of boiling oil that's going
to fry his ass?

Or doesn't the American way count for you? Why so much bitterness? He's
only been accused of having been on the take.....that's not the same as if
he was complicit in killing young Americans (not to mention innocent Iraqis)
as others whose names would be even more readily identified than his should
be sharing guilt about.

criminal would be inside -- and as the cage rolled along -- the
children would throw dog feces at the felon.

It's too bad that Washington DC doesn't have such a vehicle. It
would have been a fitting mode of transportation for this old
reprobate Stevens to have ridden in this morning. --- gj

Stevens Pleads Not Guilty

Standing in a federal courthouse only a few blocks from the chamber
where he built himself into a Senate legend, Sen. Ted Stevens pleaded
not guilty Thursday to seven felony counts of filing false
information.

Stevens' attorney, Brendan Sullivan, asked U.S. District Judge Emmet
Sullivan to set a trial date in September or October. "I'm not here
to ask for any favors because he's a senator," Sullivan said. "But he
would like to clear his name before his election."

Prosecutors said they would not object to such a request.

Stevens, 84, was released on his own recognizance. However, as a
condition of his pre-trial release, he was required to surrender his
passport to U.S. Marshals. As a result, he will not be able to travel
outside the country until his trial has concluded.
