FCC to regulate Cable/Satellite?

Not long ago, we had a discussion here about Howard Stern escaping the power of the federal government to regulate the airwaves by going to Sirius Satellite Radio.

Well, now there's a push by the Senate to extend FCC decency standards to cable and satellite TV and Radio.

Read here, it's no joke:

Ted Stevens, a senator from Alaska (a republican, wouldn't you know) is chairman of the Senate Commerce Committee, and said he would push for legislation to "clean up" cable TV and their shows like HBO's 'The Sopranos' and 'Deadwood'.

So much for the "smaller, less intrusive government" Republicans, huh?
