Senators nix filming for HBO's 'K Street'

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- In a letter to their colleagues, Senate leaders are putting their foot down on the shooting of behind-the-scenes footage in the Capitol's corridors for use in "K Street," an experimental new HBO series about Washington lobbyists.

The chairmen of the Senate Rules Committee and Ethics Committee -- Trent Lott, R-Mississippi, and George Voinovich, R-Ohio -- sent a letter to their colleagues reminding them that Senate rules "strictly prohibit the use of Capitol and Senate space for any commercial or profit-making purpose." The ranking Democrats on both committees also signed the letter.

1. Almost wanna laugh at the

irony. Almost.

"Senate rules 'strictly prohibit the use of Capitol and Senate space for any commercial or profit-making purpose.'"

Lott just needs to be fucking skinned alive and rolled in lime juice. What a fucking subhuman slime.

I think none of them want the average person to know how the behind the scene deals work.

10. actually,

it's rather like Trent Lott preaching racial tolerance. Just think - we never would've had all these problems if Strom Thurmond had been elected.

6. Trent Lott is a Farking Cry Baby!

If the right can't control the media then they don't want any part of it. Chickensh*t bastards.

7. But the senate IS a profit making place.

Without the profit motive not one of them would be there. It's called 'campaign financing'.
