JEFF HORWICH: Senators don't have a great history when it comes to explaining the Internet. Here's former Sen. Ted Stevens from a few years back:
SEN. TED STEVENS: The Internet is not a big truck. It's a series of tubes!
Independent Sen. Joe Lieberman has picked up the torch. He just rolled out the "Protecting Cyberspace as a National Asset Act," still sounding a bit like your grandpa just discovering the C-word.
SEN. JOE LIEBERMAN: Cyber warriors, cyber spies, cyber terrorists and cyber criminals.
Lieberman says the president should be able to shut down the Internet in the event of a, uh, cyber attack. So how do you turn the Internet off?
