Amish Tech Support asks the million dollar question:

Also will the RIAA and the Entertainment Lobby be calling for Senator Hatch to step down from his post on Judiciary, or will they just settle for getting their money back?

Hatch probably hadn’t a clue that he’d be hoist with his owne petar‘ when he said:

“There’s no excuse for anyone violating copyright laws,”

as he, in essence, advocated handing over police and judicial powers to the RIAA/Entertainment industry.

If those folks don’t ask him to step down, if he does not do it on his own, the rest of us should give him a shove.

Seeing Molly Ivins and Bill O’reilly sitting next to each other at the same table is worth looking at all by itself. But the real fun comes with the O’reilly/Franken interplay. If you have watched O’reilly at all you know he is just busting a gut wanting to interrupt while Franken is talking…just hilarious. Take a look and listen to this from BookExpo America a week or so ago. Via Hammerdown.
