It's Awards season, isn't it?

The award for Selective Response to Public Outcry by a Public Official goes to (drumroll)...Michael Powell of the FCC.

On June 2, the FCC by a partisan vote of 3 to 2 approved sweeping broadcast media deregulation. The FCC’s decision came in the face of overwhelming opposition from the American people. In all, more than two million Americans contacted the FCC to oppose the rules changes.

Ah, but today, in the wake of the breast-baring incident at halftime of the Super Bowl,

Powell, for one, thinks we may be seeing the public pushing back against the purveyors of what some see as good old-fashioned smut.

Mr. Powell sure seems to pick which public he wants to listen to, doesn't he?
