The guy just digs himself in the more he talks -- rather like Blagojevich.<BR/><BR/><EM>To hear Professor Lessig tell it, I introduced a bill that is utterly without merit and entirely the product of shady special interest dealing. Without any evidence to support his contention (other than my receipt of what can only be described as modest contributions from publishers), he labels my motivations for introducing this bill as "corrupt," accuses me of "shilling" for "Big Paper," and dismisses the whole thing as nothing more than a "money for influence scheme." </EM><BR/><BR/>So, Conyers *admits* he introduced a bill favoring the publishers' interests after accepting money from them (the amount doesn't matter, if it wasn't that much it just means he's easily bought).Jonathan Badgerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04921990886076027719noreply@blogger.com
