Nancy Pelosi, Meet Ted Stevens

Link to July 9 Chicago Boyz post, "Nancy Pelosi vs. the Internet".

Excerpt: Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who would like very much to reimpose the old, so-called, “Fairness Doctrine” that once censored conservative opinion on television and radio broadcasting, is scheming to impose rules barring any member of Congress from posting opinions on any internet site without first obtaining prior approval from the Democratic leadership of Congress. No blogs, twitter, online forums - nothing.
