Hypocrisy Thy Name is Kyl
The anti-online gambling nutjob Senator Jon Kyl of Arizona is back at it again criticizing Congressman Barney Frank for introducing legislation that would modify the UIGEA to allow regulated online poker.
Kyl also attacked the online poker sector, claiming that it encouraged gambling among the youth of America and citing the National Annenberg study of youthful gambling, which apparently claims that in recent years there has been a rising trend in online gambling that is significant and worrying.
Using the Arizona Office of Problem Gambling Youth Survey last year as a reference, online observers were quick to point out that that in a survey of more than 60 000 students in grades 8 through 12, the vast majority (92.4 percent) had never gambled on the Internet! And 30.6 percent respondents had played the lottery or scratch tickets, indicating that the most addictive form of gambling among Arizona’s youth is probably the states own lottery!
