Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-Tex.), ranking member of the Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee filed an amendment to an appropriations bill aimed at preventing the Federal Communications Commission from adopting net neutrality regulation. Hutchison's amendment, co-signed by John Ensign (R-Nev.) and six other Republican lawmakers, would "prohibit the FCC from using any appropriated funds to adopt, implement or otherwise litigate any network neutrality based rules, protocols or standards."

It's the one we see about once a year that figures out which way the gale is blowing then rattles a cage or two and disappears.

John, John, are you out there too??

Oh, that one. Kay Baily Hidesagain. Figures. It has been about a year since she came up for air. Same one that put up a flag to run for Gov and found absolutely no wind.

I think John Boy is licking his wounds from the ABC interview and reshaping his feet of clay.

Like the EPA, the FCC is an obsolete, prehistoric piggy that wallows in taxpayer dollars. It’s past time for both of them to go. Put those bureaucrats in the unemployment lines with everyone else.

The FCC should be abolished after this. They tried to infringe on our 1st amendment rights and should be eliminated for that. They if allowed would not have stopped with Fox News this would also have been shut down as well.

Exactly. Must be an invasion of the body snatchers. Just wait until she flip flops. That or she might be beginning to see the light after she lost BIG TIME in her run for governor. There are many in Texas who can’t wait until we can vote her out.

He's still hurting from his Arlen Spectre and Charlie Crist endorsements. If only we could get the idiot to endorse McCain.....

I wasn’t aware that there was a Senator by this name any more. We used to in Texas but thought she and Cornyn were considering becoming Mexican citizens.
