i hope redstone is talking real world.. all his political monies from him went to democrat machine. a little to mccain. and his board is mostly democrat except senator from utah. Maybe redstone needs to clean house at CBS not just the 60 minutes team or sell the joint at a fire sale.

Commenting on the upcoming U.S. presidential election, Redstone said that while Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) was a "nice guy," the re-election of President Bush would be best for Viacom's interests, since the Administration backed deregulation and other issues that would help the company. Now there's a guy who votes his wallet. How can you not admire that? <g>

Couple of comments from Redstone....Doesn't sound like he's at all amused.... >>>>>>>>Reacting to the document scandal at CBS News, Sumner M. Redstone, chairman and chief executive of Viacom (nyse: VIAb - news - people ), CBS' parent, vowed that the results of a recently announced probe would be "appropriate--and the consequences will be appropriate." <<<<<<<<< >>>>>>>>Commenting on the upcoming U.S. presidential election, Redstone said that while Sen.
