Ted Stevens has filed to run for office in 2014. But not to worry, say his staffers, he’s not really planning to run. He had to file in order to be able to accept more money after the last election ended. I’m sorry, but isn’t that what got him into trouble in the first place. Not only thinking the law wasn’t meant for him but not caring who knew? I mean, if this law is in place, I’m guessing it’s to keep people with no intention of running for public office from collecting money fraudulently. But Ted, he does it and doesn’t care who knows that he’s only doing it for the money.
If Ted needs some hard cash to pay for his legal bills, then set up a legal defense account and be up front about its purpose.
Seriously, am I the only one horrified that he is so comfortable announcing to the world that he’s skirting the law?
