Along with a bronze dunce cap for Shrub's pappy...to thank him, his
campaign staff, and many of his followers for making it in issue when it
suited them (eight years of attacks on Clinton). It's quite entertaining
to watch them now panicking in a whirlpool of feigned disgust that the
issue they invented is only relevant when it applies to their opponents.


This oh so reminds me of Ma Bell's ******* kids. They all demanded
/min "reciprocal compensation" for all calls from other local
carriers, inc. cell phone co's.

Then the internet boom hit and all the ISP's moved to their competitors.
So they received 1000's of minutes of calls, from homes served by
VZ/SBC/BS/etc. Guess who was on the short end NOW?

They SCREAMED, but lost in court case after case, and PSC after PSC hearing.
Finally, their hero Mikey Powell declared competition was only good if the
Bells profited, and overrode the existing rules.
