FCC votes to Relax Media Ownership Rules/Senator Dorgen and 14 others will try to Nix the Deal...

Just now on CNBC...this was announced and they previously had Senator Dorgen on saying that Senate would fight this and overide FCC's ruling. So, stay tuned. Hopefully, some spin (spine) grows in the Senate.

2. It isn't too often that
Ted Stevens and John Kerry come down on the same side of an issue, and they're both really pissed about this. That arrogant little weasel FCC chairman needs to be cut down a notch or two.

frat boy arrogance? I look at him & think 'heckovajob brownie' all over again, but at a new level. Which 'Christian' college did he attend?


I f**king knew it

'...Before becoming a commissioner, Martin was a Special Assistant to the President for Economic Policy. He has also served as the Deputy General Counsel to Bush-Cheney 2000, on the Bush-Cheney recount team in Florida, and on the Presidential Transition.

his wife...'Counselor to then Texas Attorney General John Cornyn; Deputy Chief of Staff for Secretary Donald L. Evans at the U.S. Department of Commerce; Counselor to Vice President Dick Cheney, and Special Assistant to the President for Economic Policy at the National Economic Council. She currently serves as Deputy Assistant to the President for Communications (Policy and Planning)....'

Loyal *ies through & through reaping their reward by feeding at the tax payer funded piggie trough.

8. They sent the little wimp that message and he did it anyway.
they told him he was not to do it. And he did it anyway. Besides they can't finalize it till congress approves it. And this time half the republicans don't want this, so maybe they will finally get going.

I think they should start a campaign to have the buttwipe fired.
