| —Ted Stevens |
Ted Stevens was a Republican member of the U.S. Senate from Alaska who lost his seat after being convicted and afterward exonerated of corruption charges.[1] Ironically, this was due to prosecutorial misconduct.
He also went on the record as being pro-torture, and threatened to campaign against any Senator who voted against his "Bridge to Nowhere."
That old meme
Stevens was also famous for his description of the Internet as "a series of tubes" along with other laughably obtuse statements about how the Internet works.[2]
It wasn't a big truck
Stevens was killed in a plane crash on August 10, 2010.[3]
