NOTE: The video seems to require the use of RealPlayer which has a well-deserved reputation as a source for spam and spyware.

Count on Congress to offer a video stream that fails to work with the two most-used video players on the planet: QuickTime & Windows Media Player.

U.S. Senator Maria Cantwell (D-Wash) formerly served as Vice President, Marketing for RealNetworks which produces RealPlayer.
