Seems ol' honest Joe is flipping more lately than a burger at McDonalds.

........On "This Week With Sam and Cokie," Lieberman took his verbal knives out again and attacked Hollywood.

"Too much of what they do is not good for our children, not good for our culture," Lieberman declared. "There is still too much violence, too much sex, too much incivility in entertainment, which makes it very difficult for parents, who are working so hard to give their kids values and discipline, to do so. I find that the average family feels as if it's in a competition with a lot of the stuff . . . coming out of the entertainment industry. And government has to be on the side of standing with those people to help them, because they fell helpless against the big entertainment industry."

Lieberman warned that Washington might impose "legal restrictions" on Hollywood, if Hollywood refuses to "draw some lines themselves. . . . And I can assure you . . . a Gore-Lieberman administration will be concerned about what government can do within appropriate Constitutional limits to improve the moral future of America." He echoed the same sentiment on several shows.

But, wait. Not so fast!


"I knew you'd come around, Joe."
On Monday Night, Lieberman partied with Hollywood bigwigs at a fundraiser at the Beverly Hills home of Hollywood producer David Salzman, according to Associated Press. And since I'm from Detroit, I know that former Detroiter Salzman isn't just any producer.

He's executive producer of "The Jenny Jones Show."

Yes, the very same "Jenny Jones" talk-show that was expressly singled out for criticism by Lieberman. The same "Jenny Jones Show" that rivals "Jerry Springer" in racy sexual content, as one of the raunchiest shows on TV.
The same "Jenny Jones Show" that, last year, lost a multi-million dollar lawsuit for causing the Michigan murder of Scott Amedure by Jonathan Schmitz. The show's producers lied to the heterosexual Schmitz, who had a history of mental problems, and induced him to guest on the show. They set him up, "ambush" style, with stories of a female crush, instead surprising him on the air with the gay Amedure.

So, where was Joe Lieberman's morality on this, Monday Night? What was he doing at Salzman's? .....
