Ted Stevens Blames Everything On His Wife

Check out this piece from Washington Post "color" writer Dana Milbank detailing the theatrics of the Ted Stevens corruption trial. Ted Stevens' defense lawyer's strategy is, of course, to paint Stevens as the Common Man, who likes to go huntin' and stuff. It's just his dumb wife who's actually the miserably corrupt turd Senator: "Yes, Stevens, the first sitting senator to be indicted in a generation, failed to report a home renovation and other pricey gifts from a pipeline company. But, his lawyer told the jury yesterday, it was his wife who reviewed the bills and took care of the finances." [ WP ]
