It seems that Rep. Edward Markey, chairman of the House Subcommittee Telecommunication and the Internet, cannot get enough of YouTube. In an interview posted on the video-sharing site, the Massachusetts Democrat heaps praise upon "historic figure" YouTube co-founder Chad Hurley and asks him questions about his site's impact on the Internet and politics.
The video was shot on Thursday after Markey's panel heard about the future of video from Hurley as well as CEOs from Sling Media and TiVo. At the hearing, Markey made congressional history by filming a brief video from his chairman's seat and posting on YouTube as well. Chad, you cannot buy better publicity inside the Beltway.
