The last time John McCain tried so hard to screw Americans with bad telecom policy, his close lobbyist escort on a telecom donor’s plane was offering to share a blankie with him.
But that bad telecom McCain is back in action, introducing a bill that would invite telecoms to have their way with the public toobz.
Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) introduced a bill in the Senate on Thursday that would effectively allow Internet service providers to slow down or block Internet content or applications of their choosing.

McCain’s bill, the Internet Freedom Act, would block the Federal Communications Commission from making Net neutrality the law of the land.
Maybe McCain’s just the kind of guy who, once bought, stays bought. Or maybe he has returned to his pre-presidential campaign ways, badmouthing the influence peddlers of Washington DC while playing ball with those same influence peddlers.
But one thing’s for sure. McCain is fucking over the taxpayers who own the public airwaves with a virtually indefensible policy.
