It's hard for me to understand how the United States Senator who heads the Senate Commerce Committee can be so ignorant about the Internet. Ted Stevens, the Republican Senator from Alaska, actually chairs the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation. As such, he is responsible for communications bills that impact the Internet. Aren't there minimum education requirements for these posts?
If you've been traveling the blogosphere, then you know that Senator Stevens appears to have no clue regarding the Internet.
Pathetic and scary. Check out Jon Stewart's hilarious riff on the sorry "tubes" analogy and a fun electronica video (both cycle randomly in the lower right of our blog - just refresh). Other fun jabs here.

Yes, one would think that any person in any elected or assigned position would be well educated in his/her assigned or elected position but that would only be in the “perfect world”. Too many positions, especially when it comes to the senate and congress are filled by those doing them favors or vice versa!
