Didn't you KNOW it was coming? Kerry "flip flops" on the NYC gala. ABC news.
Hollywood and Violence
Jennings: They also say, of course, that you can know a man by his friends. President Bush says that you're kowtowing to Hollywood. And you described the people who were with you in Radio City Music Hall [at a fund-raiser] the other night as the heart and soul of America. Both President Clinton and Vice President [Al] Gore had called in their time on Hollywood for less violence and less sex. Do you feel a need to do the same thing?
Kerry: Yes, I think there should be less violence and less sex. And when I talked about the heart and soul, I'm talking about the artistic expression. I'm talking about sort of the, I mean, I believe in the arts. I think that there's a great expression in it, and there's always this struggle. You know, does life imitate art or art imitate life? Which comes first? It's a little of both.
I do think we have a responsibility, as leaders, to stand up. I think there were people at that, at that concert we had in New York who stepped over the line. I've said that. They don't speak for me. They speak for themselves. I will stand up and struggle, as others have, to try to get that right balance between violence, and sex, and things.
