Methinks He's Taking Internets Lessons from Ted Stevens
Are they trying too hard or not really trying at all? That's what you've got to ask yourself about these politicians (you know, the ones deciding Network Neutrality issues and all) who claim to know all there is to know about the Internet.
First, Alaska Sen. Ted Stevens embarrased himself to no end a few months ago (watch it here on "The Daily Show" via YouTube) with his description of the "tubes" that either make the Internet work great or clog it up real good. Now, thanks to a top blog post from Think Progress, we have footage of President George W. Bush saying he's uses "the Google" occasionally to check out satellite photos of his Texas ranch. And apparently not using "the Google" very well, according to LeisureGuy blogger's reaction to Bush's CNBC appearance. Not surprisingly, his "descriptive" retort came on the same day that Google itself wowed real online users with a customizable search engine. That's "the Google" everyone else knows.
