Telecom Immunity: Here Comes the Sellout

What Digby said.

From BooMan, the money angle:

Nevertheless, too many Democrats in office are willing to give the telco corporations a pass on lawbreaking in return for campaign contributions. As The Wire's State Rep. Clay Davis says, "It's shameful shit."

A thought: maybe it's not the campaign contributions so much as the perks that are going to come after they get booted out of office.
