What Did Stevens Mean?
I had the pleasure of appearing this afternoon on ABC News Now's Politics Live with ex-colleagues Geoff Morrell and Jonathan Karl.
And on the program, Karl passed along some ABC News reporting.
Not only does Sen. Stevens' office refuse to parse the sentence, but an ABC News producer who ran into Stevens last night said the Senator said he didn't know if he would be coming back.
So could Stevens actually retire? Who knows?
BTW: The Christmas recess has been known to produces surprise departures. [MARC AMBINDER]

So Senator Stevens throws a tantrum and might quit the Senate...but even in that case, I'm sure we'd still have a Senator Stevens from Alaska after an agonized search for a replacement miraculously results in another nepotistic appointment. Anyone care to bet against that scenario?

Didn't he say he would quit if he didn't get his bridge?

If Stevens quits, can we have our billion dollars back for the two Bridges to Nowhere? It would be nice.

C-SPAN ran the tape of Stevens' adios floor rant this morning. He was so clearly unable to express himself that it was almost sad. It reminded me of when grandpa lost his mind and couldn't come up with the right nouns and the right sequence but he just kept talking. Yet the Rovians allowed Stevens to run the appropriations show, further proof that they don't give a damn about good policy, just about how big a wad of crap they can shove down America's throat now they have power. These people are...problematic.

I could imagine a Hawaii senator not coming back after a Christmas recess, but an Alaskan? Brrr...
