Stevens May, After All, Seek Pardon

The Crypt found Sen. Ted Stevens in the hall after his morning meeting with the GOP and asked him to elaborate on his decision not to seek a pardon from President Bush.

"I didn’t say anything about that at all. I said nothing about it. No comment, that’s all. I have no comment," said Stevens. Earlier in the day, he had responded "no,no,no" when asked by a clatch of reporters if he'd go for a pardon. By 'no,' he said, he meant 'no comment.'

So you might, after all, ask for a pardon?

"I have no comment at all," Stevens repeated. "This whole thing is put off till February now," he added, referring to legal wrangling around his trial.  By February, of course, President-elect Obama will have become President Obama.
