| No farther left than what the country wants.
Or have you not seen the most recent polls:

Just because Bill O'Loofah, OxyRush, Hannity, Beck, Boortz, Savage Weiner and the other B-List Dwarves *say* they are farther left than Guevara's left gluteal protruberance doesn't make it so. Those klownish klowns have a narrative to peddle and peddle it they will, in the face of any competing logic offered. After all, they gotta eat. Especially Rush, apparently. When he isn't sending the housekeeper for take-out.
And before you say "But! But! I don't see broadband mentioned in those polls!", remember: You gotta ask the question before you get an answer. How you ask the question is also important.
Personally, I see broadband as becoming the premier access medium for communications and information for both individuals and businesses. I also see a culture of haves and have-nots, because the big telcos are doing way too little in the way of capital investment, instead playing in the mergers and acquisitions arena. And I see it as a very worthy subject for congressional attention. I don't give a monkey's crusty one if it causes apoplexy in shills, astroturfers, putative libertarians, right wing frothers and knee-jerk congressional critics. It's still important. Very important, if for no other reason than it puts the telcos and cablecos on notice that someone is paying attention.
Oh, and a prediction: 2009. Lieberman gets a cozy new office. In the senate office building basement. One that used to be a mud sink/broom closet. He also gets a lot of time to think great thoughts, considering he no longer will have to worry about those bothersome committee meetings. Since he ain't on none no mo'. He and his one staffer will have a grand time down there in their new and intimate surroundings. |

Chester, IL | That would change fast if Lieberman went to the R's. They'd elevate him just to try to look much more moderate than they are. I don't see him going there, you might want it, but it isn't going to happen.
