These Are The People Running The Country

Ted Stevens (who wears an Incredible Hulk tie on days when there are big votes):

There's one company now you can sign up and you can get a movie delivered to your house daily by delivery service. Okay. And currently it comes to your house, it gets put in the mail box when you get home and you change your order but you pay for that, right. (If Netflix doesn't get a commercial out of that, they're idiots -ed.)

But this service isn't going to go through the interent and what you do is you just go to a place on the internet and you order your movie and guess what you can order ten of them delivered to you and the delivery charge is free.

Ten of them streaming across that internet and what happens to your own personal internet?

I just the other day got, an internet was sent by my staff at 10 o'clock in the morning on Friday and I just got it yesterday. Why?

Because it got tangled up with all these things going on the internet commercially.

That's why I get all my Internets delivered to my door. That way, I know when the Internet's coming, there's no wondering about "When's my Internet going to get here," it can be tracked (on a separate Internet), and nobody has to worry.

Good Jesus. This is the HEAD OF THE COMMITTEE that makes decisions on Internet commerce and Net Neutrality. Can we just force a guy to recuse himself on the grounds that he doesn't know what the fuck he's talking about?

Read the transcript at Wired, too, it gets worse.
