Ted Stevens: moron

2005-03-01 22:35:32.105943+01 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

Why do I think Republicans are morons? Consider Republican Ted Stevens and his attempts to control content on subscription television:

"There has to be some standard of decency," he said, but noted that "no one wants censorship."

Okay, Ted, you've got me there: what the fuck is it when you use the government to restrict communication between consenting adults? I think maybe we need to name something after Ted Stevens, in much the same way as we've honored Rick Santorum.
