And how many times can he forget to say it and then correct himself?

I'll have to go back and re-listen, but I call [censored] on that Connecticut study that said 74% of people who gamble online frequently (I think it said frequently or something like that) have a problem. That's complete [censored].

It is big there in the retirement communities there, believe it or not (I used to live there). Wexler says a lot of his older constituents have complained to him about UIGEA, which surprised him.

Mah Jong = donkfest?

I'm glad we encourged Ron Paul....I'd hate for him to have skipped this hearing due to his presidential run.

WEexler is good.

Summary of his speech:

1. You can already legally gamble on the internet on horses, lotteries, and other games.
2. If underage people are gambling online, parents aren't doing their job.
