Not much good at posting or I'd put this up, but - this morning's excuse for a newspaper here in San Antonio had an article about Smith and this joke of a bill. And for those of us yesterday that wondering about the cost of buying this Bozo's vote:
$88,000 from the TV/move/music industry
$63,500 from the computer industry
So now you know. For that hard to please person on your Christmas list next year, $150k or thereabouts will buy him his own obedient little butt-boy in Congress!
When you consider the billions of dollars and political power at stake in the incumbent media establishment's quest to squelch Internet competition, Lamar Smith is a surprisingly cheap whore.
