ROFL There are rich moguls and tv stars of both political persuasions. Isn't it Mr. Heston who pimps for the NRA? Both parties get the celebs at their parties. Neither party is really hot for regulating the entertainment industry- although Tipper, at least, showed some leadership in that direction. Please, try not to swallow all that party line bullcr*p whole- it will give you indigestion. The right is concerned with the sex teens watch and the left is concerned with violence- I'm concerned about both, but feel violence is worse. However, I am also very supportive of free speech- and it's difficult to regulate entertainment without stepping on free speech. The only solution I see is education- and not the stupid kind, the "just say no" stuff that so many kids will tune out and laugh at- but honest and open education and communication. I agree abstinence should be encouraged- but not in a prissy stupid way, because that just turns teens off.

<<Ask your buddy Joe Lieberman..... who didn't bother to even object to a Hollywood bigwig making a religious joke about Jesus Christ.... or who willingly accepted $6.5 million in one nights fund-raising??>> You don't get it Ron, anything is OK if done to a WASP hetrosexual male. Just like its OK for Rosie O'Donnel to spout that "no one needs a gun" then get a gun for her paid thug.

LOS ANGELES (Launch) - President Bill Clinton has reportedly been offered a job with the Motion Picture Association of America, the organization responsible for rating movies. The soon-to-be-former president has an offer worth more than $1 million waiting for him from the organization, reports Entertainment Weekly. Current MPAA president and CEO Jack Valenti said that he is unaware of the offer and insisted that "none of our member companies would do that without telling me." Clinton's Hollywood bud, producer Harry Thomason, indicated that the president has received numerous multimillion dollar job offers, but added, "I think that he has more benevolent plans for his future than the MPAA."
