Ted Stevens, Stupid or Corrupt?

Ted Stevens is either stupid or corrupt, maybe a little of both. He claims that the results of a poll, funded by his owner, “…finds that an overwhelming majority of American voters favor video choice over onerous “Net Neutrality” regulations”.

Here is the question he’s referring to from the poll:

Which of the following two items do you think is the most important to you:
Delivering the benefits of new TV and video choice so consumers will see increased competition and lower prices for cable TV

OR

Enhancing Internet neutrality by barring high speed internet providers from offering specialized services like faster speed and increased security for a fee

Only an idiot, or someone who is more committed to Verizon than they are to the American people, would consider this question of any statistical use.

I wonder how much the telcos paid for Ted.
