That's funny, but it's not unprecedented. Remember this doofus Ted Stevens? He was in charge of regulating the internet.

They want to deliver vast amounts of information over the internet. And again, the internet is not something you just dump something on. It?s not a truck.
It?s a series of tubes.
And if you don?t understand those tubes can be filled and if they are filled, when you put your message in, it gets in line and its going to be delayed by anyone that puts into that tube enormous amounts of material, enormous amounts of material. -- Ted Stevens

Broun said at the Liberty Baptist Church Sportsman?s Banquet recently. ?And it?s lies to try to keep me and all the folks who were taught that from understanding that they need a savior.?
