From the WaPo:

"...Democrat James Webb has helped produce several movies, prompting Allen and his surrogates to portray Webb as an elitist more attuned to what Allen called the "values of Hollywood" than "the values of Virginia."


The Center for Responsive Politics, a nonprofit research group, said that Allen ranks 16th among members of Congress in campaign contributions received from the entertainment industry during the past two years. Allen has accepted $93,350 since 2004; Webb, $20,650, according to the center..."

"...Allen's haul includes contributions from executives with Time Warner, News Corp., Comcast, Univision Communications Inc., America Online, Krikorian Premiere Theatres, the National Association of Broadcasters, the National Cable & Telecommunications Association and the Walt Disney Co.

"I classify most of those as communications companies," said Wadhams, who often mocks Webb by adding "wealthy Hollywood movie producer" before his name...."
