Whether it's Ted Stevens, Rush Limbaugh or Ann Coulter (OK, maybe not Coulter) the law is the law and we should celebrate when justice is served. Even if that means that the guilty walk.

Many of the people who will praise Mr. Holder for dropping the charges against Mr. Stevens won't care that the same kind of misconduct routinely taints the trials of those who are not "connected."

Before he leaves office, will President Bush use his power to pardon to shield the members of his administration from legal action? If so, his pardons will be a last effort to avoid accountability.

Maybe Stevens can ask Palin for help. She was the director of a 527 called "Ted Stevens Excellence in Public Service, Inc." Perhaps she can help him form a new one.

In the wake of Sen. Ted Stevens' indictment, his GOP colleagues quickly began distancing themselves from the stink by dumping campaign contributions Stevens had doled out through his PAC. Among those playing "Take Back the Money" were Mitch McConnell, Elizabeth Dole, and John McCain. We've seen this game before, when politicians scrambled to rid themselves of donations from Enron and Jack Abramoff. Indeed, Dole has now won the Tainted Money Triple Crown, having divested herself of money from all three. The beauty of this D.C. dance is that it is always accompanied by insistent claims that political contributions have absolutely no impact. But no one ever explains why, if the money doesn't buy influence, there is such a rush to return it. Perhaps the answer can be found on Stevens' Bridge to Nowhere.

Stevens' awareness that he was engaged in a battle between bear and oil, good and bad, right and wrong renewed his sense of purpose, but also triggered his bipolar condition and delusions of mobility, political sway, and brute force.

The big question is whether Stevens will give up his race for reelection -- he has represented Alaska in the U.S. Senate since 1968. Even before the indictment, the race was expected to be a squeaker.
