We resisted as long as we could, but sweet Mary Lou what is going on with US politics these days? How out of touch can these politicians be yet still demand respect and credibility from their constituents??? Bah! So, back to the story. Anyone using the inter-tubes should know the backstory to this, easily persuadable (by lobbyists of course not by his constituents) Republican Senate Commerce Committee Chairman Ted Stevens explains to a room full of other easily persuaded senators that the internet is basically a series of tubes that gets clogged, thus net-neutrality should not be an option. He then gets completely torn apart about it, and rightly so, by the Daily Show in the sort of fashion that we all know and love. Well, word finally reached Senator Stevens (I guess his inter-tube is clogged because of all these top-tier services clogging them) and he’s now willing to go on the Daily Show to defend his statements, by telling reporters, AND I QUOTE:
“I have a letter from a big scientist who said I was absolutely right in using the word ‘tubes’”
Speechless. So yeah, watch the Daily Show video after the jump (as if you haven’t seen it already!)..

What I would like to know is why must I care? I mean, not to say that what youve got to state is not significant, but I mean, its so universal. Everybody’s referring to this dude. Give us some thing extra, some thing that we can get behind so we can become as zealous about this as you do.
