Time to watch the Senator at the Court House
Who are the other none sitting Senators who were indicted in all of US history? Of course none of them was the most Senior Rethug Senator nor the longest serving Rethug Senator. :rofl:

Come on Andrea we want the big story live.

1. Stevens To Plead Not Guilty Thursday
http://www.allheadlinenews.com/articles/7011790368
Kris Alingod - AHN News Writer

Washington, D.C. (AHN) - Sen. Ted Stevens (R-AK) will make his first court appearance Thursday afternoon since being indicted on corruption charges.

Stevens will be arraigned at 1 pm before Judge Emmet Sullivan of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. He is expected to plead not guilty.

Stevens, an 84-year old icon in Alaskan politics and the Senate's longest-serving Republican, was indicted Tuesday on seven counts of falsifying disclosure forms from 1999-2006 in order to conceal gifts amounting to $250,000 from controversial oil services company, Veco Corporation.

2. If this was Teddy Kennedy M$M would have been camping outside the
courthouse last night. Ah there's a shot of him entering the court house on GEM$NBC. Less than 15 seconds coverage.

3. We want to have this trial before the General Elections
So say Stevens and his lawyer to the judge. They want the venue changed to Alaska. Judge seems rather hesitant - will decide later. So they're giving the judge orders. White collar allegations says Andrea Mitchell :puke:
From Pete Williams on GEM$NBC.
