Jon Stewart You Tube video displays Ted Stevens re Internet: you, tubes
Last nite on Comedy Central’s Daily Show host Jon Stewart did a hilarious skit about net neutrality- and how Senator Ted Stevens- one of the main lawmakers in this debate, thinks the Internet is a series of tubes.
Funny, I always thought it was a truck. A big, huge truck.
Excerpt from the segment:
Stevens: I…just the other day got, an Internet was sent by my staff at 10 o’clock in the morning on Friday, I got it yesterday. Why?
Stewart: …Why didn’t Senator Stevens get it until yesterday? This is just a little bit of a guess here, but maybe it’s because you don’t seem to know jack[squat] about computers or the Internet. By hey! That’s ok! You’re just the guy in charge of regulating it.
Wanna laugh? Of course you do. It’s Thursday and you have been working hard all week.
So here’s the link. Enjoy
