White House on whether Ted Stevens should resign: No comment

All of a sudden, Ted's buddies are treating him like he has AIDS.

Thinkprogress:


In yesterday’s White House press briefing, Dana Perino said the White House would “decline to comment” on the recent conviction of Sen. Ted Stevens (R-AK) and whether he should resign:

Q: Sen. McCain today said Sen. Stevens should resign. Does the President believe Sen. Stevens should resign?

PERINO: Well given that Sen. Stevens has said that he’s going to fight his conviction and that he’s going to appeal, and that is his right to do, since it’s going to be a matter of ongoing litigation, we’ll decline to comment for now.
