Theodore Stevens quotes:

The internet is a series of tubes, and all of those tubes are filled with Joe Francis' semen.

The Internet...is a series of tubes

There are not as many women who support the national defense budget now as men. I really think there is a gender gap in the support for the large expenditures that are necessary to modernize the force.

I do have concerns about the current efforts to restructure our nation's intelligence community.

I rise today to discuss the National Intelligence Reform bill. I commend my colleagues in both Houses for their hard work in coming to an agreement. As with any conference, each voice is heard, but none can dominate and compromise must be achieved.

I would urge that we all use a little bit of caution in dealing with an issue that is so vital to our national security.

I just the other day got, an internet was sent by my staff at 10 o'clock in the morning on Friday and I just got it yesterday. Why? Because it got tangled up with all these things going on the internet commercially... They want to deliver vast amounts of information over the internet. And again, the internet is not something you just dump something on. It's not a truck. It's a series of tubes.

[The Internet] is a series of tubes. And if you don't understand, those tubes can be filled and if they are filled, when you put your message in, it gets in line and it's going to be delayed by anyone that puts into that tube enormous amounts of material, enormous amounts of material.

I am not opposed to intelligence reform on its face, but any changes should reflect the current context.

People who vote against this today are voting against me and I will not forget.

The agency that is so strict on the way Americans keep their books cannot even pass a financial audit.

The internet is not something you just dump something on. It's not a truck. It's a series of tubes.
