Sen. Ted Stevens on Net Neutrality

[Mercutio]

Listening to this guy talk about how the Internet works is like asking a four-year-old to explain thunderstorms. Really, the two things are almost identical.

This worthless piece of crap is one of the most powerful men in the US Senate, which basically makes him one of the most powerful people on earth.

This kind of ignorance is simply staggering.

Competence. That's what I like to see in politicians.

 

[Stereodude]

Do you really think politicians know any better what they're doing on other issues either? I firmly believe they're just as ignorant on nearly everything.

 

[Mercutio]

They seem pretty well informed on flag burning and on all the ways homosexuals are threatening the sacred institution of marriage.

Unghh ... Did somebody teach this guy to even read yet?

No, no, don't tell me, let me guess. He's a character from the Archie Bunker Show, right?

Then again, how good of a speech regarding the internet can you expect to get from someone born in 1923??

 

[LiamC]

He's made the funnies
