—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[edit]
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[edit]
Stevens was killed in a plane crash on August 10, 2010.[3]
