Wonders never cease.
Notice how they played the "public safety" card?
[ ... ]
"Missouri Republican Rep. Roy Blunt said his vote against the DTV bill
was primarily about public safety. 'Every day that goes by without this
transition is another day that our firefighters, policemen and EMTs
cannot effectively communicate,' he said.
"Blunt said he supported the bill, proposed by Rep. Joe Barton (D-TX),
to correct the DTV converter box coupon accounting problem, saying that
it would clear up the current backlog.
"He specifically cited the Fraternal Order of Police objection to moving
the date."
I say, "whatever works."
