Hil gets an odd pal in battle vs. sex TV (buddy's up Rick Sanitarium)

[VegasWolf]

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton stood with one of her most conservative colleagues yesterday to announce a bill to curb sex-and-violence-drenched TV shows and video games.

Clinton (D-N.Y.) has several co-sponsors - including Sens. Sam Brownback (R-Kan.) and Joe Lieberman (D-Conn.) - for the bill, which would provide government funding to closely study the impact of such video games and shows on kids. But it was conservative Sen. Rick Santorum (R-Pa.) who caught the eye of political watchers.

At a Kaiser Family Foundation event before a news conference, Clinton, who's believed to be eying a 2008 White House run, called the proliferation of violence and sex in the media "a silent epidemic." Clinton, Santorum and the others submitted a similar bill last May, but it went nowhere.

Santorum gets an odd pal . . .

Proliferation of Sex and Violence:

Cartoon butt cracks on primetime broadcast again? Oh the horror.

Too much blood in Blood Rayne? Gosh, don't buy it. P.S. Don't buy it for your kids. P.P.S. Proliferation of Bad Parenting Act is overdue for drafting. Miss Hillary I don't see you doing anything about that.

6. Dear Hillary,

Please let a parent be a parent. We don't need Government to be our Nannies.

I have to say as one of your constituents who voted for you in the last election, I am becoming very disillusioned with you lately. You were elected to do the will of the people of the State of New York, NOT the will of George W. Bush and his right wing cronies.

Thank you very much.

7. Yes, Keep Drifting Aimfully...

to the right Hillary. Then when you try to run for President, everyone and their mother can run the tapes of all the nasty things you said, sometimes screamed, about your new pals.

8. It's an election year - Santorum is working on rehabilitating his

right-wing image in an effort to appeal to Pennsylvania independents and Democrats.

Nice try. Didn't work.

A cheaper alternative for the purposes of inducing vomiting. :puke:
