Watch Sen Lindsey Graham Use Comcast Hearing To Discuss Cable Options
At a Senate Judiciary hearing this Wednesday on the Comcast and Time Warner Cable merger Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham seemed most interested in how combining the two largest U.S. cable companies would affect one particular resident of South Carolina. That is, himself. "Somebody can sell me a product at this hearing, because I really don't know," said the South Carolina senator, before asking if any representatives from DirecTV were present at the hearing. "I'm thinking about changing because I've had the satellite signal knocked out twice, I've had to move the satellite twice. But before that, the cable went out right in the fourth quarter of a ball game.", Graham said he had problems with his DirecTV when the weather is bad. "In two seconds, tell me why I should switch back to cable," Graham said to conclude his line of questioning.
