FILE - In this Feb. 6, 2014 file photo, Larry Pressler, who served three terms as a Republican U.S. senator for South Dakota from 1979 to 1997, is seen in Sioux Falls, S.D. As "American Hustle" vies for a best picture Oscar Sunday night, Pressler will pop into the Academy Awards broadcast to remind South Dakotans that he was the lone congressman to turn down a bribe in the real-life 1970s Abscam scandal. The 71-year-old Pressler has bought two 30-second local spots to debut his ad during the awards show broadcast. Pressler is hoping to win back his old seat as an independent.
