Kevin Martin this week made light of criticism that he snuggles up to the baby bells while ignoring the concerns of cable providers. At the annual FCC Bar Association's chairman's dinner last night in Washington, the FCC chief trotted out his favorite joke: "Hi, you've reached the FCC. If this is AT&T, please press one for our merger approval hotline. If you're calling from a Vonage phone, please hang up and dial from a Verizon phone. If this is the cable industry and you're calling about a waiver, your call is very important to us [extended pause] goodbye."

This stunt, though a "joke" is an indication he is aware of the public view of him.
He doesn't care.
He is bought, sold, and wrapped by the telco lobbyists.

No doubt... "Geeks" are one thing... "Geeks with no sense of humor" are doubly lame...

I have a sense of humor and I thought the "jokes" were as you call it "doubly lame."

It's JUST a joke...come on guys.

ok, so it might have a bit of unfortunate truth to it, but, it's just a joke; take it for that, laugh, and move on.

Re: Confused...

Steve Martin was and absolute scream back in the days when he was the great sit down comic, and he is still funny.

" I don't understand why Farah Fasset doesn't write. I am her biggest fan, why every night I look at her picture with one hand". Steve Martin during one of his monologues on Saturday Night Live.
