Al,

You know who makes Viagra, don't you? Pfizer. Big drug company...one of those bush likes to protect through dubious medicare bills and big old tax breaks, while the budget wallows in the red.....LOL

What does it have to do with the medium (and time) of Viagra advertising? I don't know about tax breaks, but I hope GOP will see its error regarding prescription drug subsidies for seniors, and any encouragement in general of drug use.

One thing I would really like to see is an investigation of how doctors have become paid prescription drug promoters.

Joe

Pfizer also has a big portfolio of other drugs, including Lipitor, which helps people with high cholesterol. Viagra is just Pfizer's highest-profile drug for obvious reasons.
