What's the IQ level of a corporate shill?

Former FCC Commissioner Deborah Tate, who worked at the FCC until earlier this year, stirred up some geek angst recently by tying World of Warcraft to the college drop out rate.
Ever notice how technical understanding deficiency levels, particularly in tools like Tate, are inversely proportional to how well the tool is connected to the industry they whore for. The deeper the political connection goes to the industry, the closer to zero the technical knowledge is. Industry whores like Tate should be forced to take a Computers & Internet 101 class at her local library, but then that would completely defeat the purpose of a whore, wouldn't it.

It's easier to blatantly spread lies if you don't know you're lying.

You have to give her credit for throwing in the word freedom. Our nation was built on the ideals of metered billing.

They need to go back to selling 7 figure glass wall condos in the ghetto and fixing financing for the buyers.
