“I think it is a clever cover for what the gentleman from Florida is trying to do, and that is advantage one industry player. I believe that the gentleman was privy to the same tape that I saw in Mr. Hatch's committee hearing that showed a 14-year-old girl accessing the Internet, trying to buy an alcoholic beverage. But the thing that was not talked much about in that hearing was the fact that her older brother or father was standing right there next to the television camera operator and filming this using his credit card. It is a far stretch from leading us to believe that some youngster is going to plan weeks ahead to purchase some alcoholic beverage and, in the case that impacts my district, a bottle of Cabernet. I do not think the teenagers of the gentleman from Florida (Mr. Scarborough) are going to buy Opus Cabernet over the Internet with their parents' credit card.”
