SEN. JAY ROCKEFELLER (D-WV): "There's a little bug inside of me which wants to get the FCC to say to FOX and to MSNBC: 'Out. Off. End. Goodbye.' It would be a big favor to political discourse; to our ability to do our work here in Congress; and to the American people, to be able to talk with each other and have some faith in their government and more importantly, in their future."

Rockefeller is delusional ~ little more than that.

He should resign and get outta' there before he embarrasses himself even more.

It shouldn’t go unmentioned that Rockefeller is suggesting government prohibition of the type speech that is the primary reason for the first amendment: political speech. This Little Stalin wannabe is showing his utter contempt for the first amendment because he can’t take the political criticism.

A dangerous dude if his ideas find any traction in DC.

J-Rock’s Treason (circa 2002):

“In the weeks that followed Senator Rockefellers’ friendly visit with Syria, CIA operatives began reporting Iraqi convoys traveling across the Syrian border; - a suspected “outsourcing” of Iraq’s WMD, which became the centerpiece of Colin Powell’s case against Iraq before the UN. Those same WMD that would later go missing by the time America entered Iraq 12 months later.”

My fault ! He is the nephew of David. I mistakenly thought Jay was the youngest of the Fortunate Five sons of John D. Junior.

Remember Rockefeller’s wife has been a bigwig at PBS for a quarter century. See: http://www.weta.org/about/inside/officersandtrustees/bio/Sharon+Percy+Rockefeller

Just for the record, newly elected senator from West Virginia - Manchin (D-WV), who is a Democrat but claimed he was further right than Reagan to get elected, voted with his TRUE party today for cloture, the Democrat Party.

A sitting United States Senator who explicitly is against freedom of speech. What a shock - he's a Dem!

These comments make perfect sense when you realize that Rockefeller is not really a US Senator but really one of Kim Jong-il's long lost cousins in a really tall disguise.

Don't you feel all better now that this offensive, arrogant and grossly threatening comment has been put into context?

I, for one, am feeling confidence for our US government just flow through my timbers. Is it just me?/s
