GOP Senator Ted Stevens made a quickly-becoming-infamous, angry declaration that "THE INTERNET IS A SERIES OF TUBES!"

This was at a recent Senate Commerce meeting. He was angry that "an internet was sent [to him]" but took days to reach him. He probably meant email. Anyway, he's rabidly against the "net neutrality" movement, and that's what his testimony was about.

An .mp3 recording of his confused declarations, set to techno dance music, is here:
