IT’S NOT JUST THE REPUBLICANS ON INDECENCY:
WASHINGTON (AP) – The House overwhelmingly passed legislation Thursday substantially increasing the maximum fine for radio and TV indecency.
The vote was 391-22. Similar legislation is pending in the Senate.
(Emphasis added.) There aren’t 391 Republicans in the House, you know. I really think that critics of this venture misconceive just how broad the Janet Jackson-inspired sentiment is. Portraying this as a Religious-Right-inspired Bush initiative misses what’s really going on.
