Senator Ted ("The Internet is a Series of Tubes") Stevens vs. Jon Stewart "Mocked by comedian Jon Stewart for calling the Internet a bunch of tubes, U.S. Senate Commerce Committee Chairman Ted Stevens said on Thursday he is open to going on Stewart's popular 'Daily Show' for a rebuttal."
"I have a letter from a big scientist who said I was absolutely right in using the word 'tubes,' [Stevens] told reporters."

I hope Ted's taking the salmon jet...

Ha, sounds like he has a sense of humor about himself, good for him.

The bit on Ted Stevens was hilarious, but John Hodgman explaining net neutrality is brilliant.

I thought the Tubes' earlier albums were much better.

What about the little scientists? I think the little scientists are just great. I mean, if we didn't know how to make the little ones, how would they grow into the big ones? Especially the really really really big ones that talk to Senator Ted. Geeze.

They've made fun of Ted Stevens for more then jus the "Series of tubes" statement. Also his "bridge to nowhere" etc.

We've been waiting and hoping for this moment since 1970. || Um, Hairy Potter?
