Cory Doctorow, writing on Boing Boing:
Google’s lobbyists have discarded its ‘Don’t be evil’ philosophy. They’re now holding fundraisers for Sen. Jim Inhofe (“Global warming is a hoax’), bankrolling Competitive Enterprise Institute (‘CO2: We Call It Life’), and joining the American Legislative Exchange Council (‘Even substantial global warming is likely to be of benefit to the United States’).
It doesn’t look good, but it also strikes me that hypocrisy and quid-pro-quo are the name of the game in Washington these days.
The amount of money flowing through politics is sick. I don’t have a solution.
