btw, This Copps cretin is a RAT.
Copps came to Washington in 1970, joining the staff of Senator Ernest Hollings (D-SC) and serving for over a dozen years as Chief of Staff.

-snip- ... For years, Copps was an aide to Sen. Fritz Hollings (D-S.C.). During that period, he got to know Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.), the Democratic Party's presidential nominee.
If a President Kerry turns to Copps to lead the FCC, any momentum that's now behind media deregulation would be gone in a flash.
"I think it's time to really get serious around this place," he told reporters gathered in his office last Wednesday. "It's time to start over and do it right."
POWELL ADVERSARY
Over the last three years, Copps has been a thorn in the side of FCC chairman Michael Powell. Because Powell normally had the votes to prevail, Copps relied on the media and friendly public-interest groups to stir public awareness about policy changes he considered to be extreme.
To Copps, control of the media is a paramount issue.
"I don't have a higher priority than this," Copps said.
