If you’ve never heard Alaska Senator Ted Steven’s “Series of Tubes” rant last year head over to YouTube and search it.  Even though Senator Stevens understands the simple concepts, he explains the logic and chain in a completely incorrect manner - and even though he’s probably a nice guy, his manner of speaking is abrasive and belligerent, akin to your old coot neighbor yelling at you to get off his lawn.

“I just the other day got an internet sent my by staff, but it got tangled up with all the commercial internet things.”

Now The consumerist posted this recent CSPAN audio clip of Ted Stevens inquiring about whether or not his land line can share a phone number for home, internet, and VOIP.  I have no idea who is answering his demanding questions, but I admire his patience.  Especially when Senator Stevens says he wants to ride his motorcycle while using wireless.

“Why shouldn’t I be able to say ah by just a little switch on my phone at home as wire I’m goin’ off the wireless I wanna use this as I ride my motorcycle.”

I hope he’s paying his grandson well to keep his Hewlett Packard in tip-top shape.  Take a listen:
