Stretching credibility past the breaking point


From the trial of Ted Stevens:

“He bought that chair as a gift, but I refused it as a gift,” Stevens explained. “He put it there and said it was my chair. I told him I would not accept it as a gift.”

“Where is that chair now?”

“In our house,” Stevens repeated. “We have lots of things in our house that don’t belong to us, ma’am.”

I don’t have anything in my house that doesn’t belong to my wife and/or I. Mr. Stevens apparently wants his house to be mistaken for a garbage dump:

“It was not my property,” he said of the fish statue that still resides at his home, “because I told them I didn’t want it.” Neither did he want the jumbo electric generator outside his Alaska home: “I requested a generator, not that generator.”

Here is a picture of the Senator testifying about the chair that isn’t his, the fish statue that isn’t his, the generator that he didn’t want, or maybe the Viking stainless steel grill that he allowed a friend to stash on his deck:
