FCC Commissioner Harold Furchtgott-Roth doesn't own a TV!

Harold Furchtgott-Roth, one of the new Clinton appointed members of the Federal
Communications Commission, said he does not own a television set.

Furchtgott-Roth, 40, is one of four new commissioners to join the
five-member FCC, which, among other duties, regulates the broadcast television industry

He said his office has a set, which he does watch. .

When asked if not owning a television could affect the way he carries out his duties, Furchtgott-Roth said, "If there's something that requires my watching a program, I'll watch the program," adding that some people might consider it a plus that he does not own a TV.

The Clinton administration wants broadcasters -- in exchange for getting
valuable digital TV licenses free of charge -- to offer political candidates
free air time.

WESTCOTT'S COMMENTARY:

Maybe it's just me but, I think it's funny as hell that a FCC Commissioner doesn't have a television. Let's put a guy into a position in a government agency that regulates television and make sure that the only information he receives is from the industry itself.

I think that Hillary and Bill sit up at night and wonder just how far they can go before the American public figures it out!

I can just hear the conversation now........

Bill: "Hey Hillary, what can we do to have some fun with these dumb ass Americans?"

Hillary: "Well Bill, we've got some FCC appointments coming up. Let's appoint a hyphenated attorney who doesn't own a TV set."

Bill: (Holding back his laughter) "I like it, but let's also make sure he doesn't have any broadcasting experience what-so-ever."

Bill and Hillary Clinton continue to prove that Barnum was right!

Hey America, was he right????????
