Conrad Burns one of Time's worst five

[G.W.Bush]

Take a look at any of major telecommunications and telemedicine bills and you will see that Conrad is a "mover/shaker" Conrad has been at the forefront of telecommunications, particulary the internet since he has been in the Senate. You don't get called the "Father of the Internet" by Yahoo for simply bringing home the pork. A couple of examples would his work on making the cyperspace more secure (tech 7, I think, and e-Eleven) he also helped author the Telecommunications Act (not sure what year), and the CAN SPAM Bill

And yes most of Conrad's bill's have to do with money because he is on the Appropriations committee...oh the horror and the money he has gotten our universities are because of his seat on the Commerce, Science, and Transportation committee. God forbid if he makes sure money earmarked for research and development is given to Montanans for research and development.

His work on COOL legislation, keeping International Markets open for American beef, his help for Small business, Veterans, and Asbestosis victims plus his pushing to split the 9th Circuit, might be issues that are a little too local for TIME Magazine but are major reasons I'm a huge fan of Conrad.

With a record like that Burns should be allowed to make asinine comments and break the law now and again.
