WASHINGTON -- A witness list read to potential jurors this morning suggested that a bevy of Sen. Ted Stevens' high-profile Senate colleagues would testify in his corruption trial.

The witness include his longtime friend and fellow World War II veteran Sen. Daniel Inouye, D-Hawaii, and three other Senate peers: Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, and Sen. Ted Kennedy, D-Mass. Former Secretary of State Colin Powell is also on the list. It wasn't clear Monday whether the men are witnesses for the defense or the prosecution.

Also on the list: a Fairbanks strip club manager as well as the underage former mistress of one of the chief witnesses, Bill Allen, and the Anchorage Police Department detective who is investigating the relationship between the two.

Monday, Judge Emmet Sullivan issued an order allowing Stevens to duck in and out of the trial in federal district court in Washington, D.C., if he has Senate business to attend to. It's not clear whether he can leave to campaign; the 84-year-old senator is up for re-election and on Nov. 4 faces Democrat Mark Begich, the mayor of Anchorage.

WASHINGTON | A witness list read to potential jurors Monday morning suggested that some of Sen. Ted Stevens’ high-profile Senate colleagues will testify in his corruption trial.

The witnesses include his longtime friend and fellow World War II veteran, Sen. Daniel Inouye, a Hawaii Democrat, and three other Senate peers: Democrat Patrick Leahy of Vermont, Republican Orrin Hatch of Utah and Democrat Edward Kennedy of Massachusetts. Former Secretary of State Colin Powell is also on the list.

Whether the men are witnesses for the defense or the prosecution was unclear Monday.

Also on the list: a Fairbanks, Alaska, strip-club manager as well as an underage woman who is alleged to be the former mistress of one of the chief witnesses, Bill Allen, and the Anchorage, Alaska, detective who is investigating the relationship between the two.

On Monday, Judge Emmet Sullivan issued an order allowing Stevens to duck in and out of the trial if he has Senate business. It’s not clear whether he can leave to campaign; the 84-year-old senator is up for re-election and faces Democrat Mark Begich, the mayor of Anchorage, on Nov. 4.

5. Thank you, Ted and Sarah,

for all the wonderful attention you're bringing to our fair state. So sad....

[curious one]

6. I want to know who shows up.

7. Stevens is trying to turn it into

a dog and pony show, they will probably need extra security and Stevens knows the media will be all over that Court House causing plenty of distraction and obstruction as it turns into a circus.

8. Stevens

Can anyone here come up with any reason that any Dem. would testify for this old fraud? I've thought about this and it makes no sense to me at all.
