Eighty-two year old Sen. Ted Stevens' complete inability to comprehend the internet would be kind of cute, were it not for the fact that the following soundbites were taken from his 11-minute speech regarding a bill that would have increased network neutrality mandates.

In that light, this quote is sort of terrifying: "The internet is not something that you just dump something on. It's not a big truck. It's, it's a series of tubes."

Digg!

Calling it "the internet" when everyone knows, as der Bushrer, that all those tubes is properly referred to as "the internets."

Ted Stevens is the BEST argument possible against impeaching Bush and Cheney. He is third in line!

Although I gotta tell you, I'd still be in favor of doing it.

Somewhere between Bush and Stevens is Hastert, Frist, Pelosi and Reid...
