Hillary Clinton Joins Joe Lieberman To Resurrect the Culture Wars

I guess this must be one for those of us who spent the 90s wanting to throw large objects through the television set as we watched that sanctimonious, finger wagging, judgmental prick Joe Lieberman on the floor of the Senate joining with the Republicans to derail the constitution:

Senators Joe Lieberman (ID-CT), Sam Brownback (R-KS), Evan Bayh (D-IN), and Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-NY) called for a thorough review of the video game ratings process in the wake of "Manhunt 2" receiving a "Mature" rating. In a letter to the Entertainment Software Ratings Board (ESRB), the Senators detailed how the change in rating opened the door to widespread release of the game, which depicts acts of horrific violence.

Well that is just peachy. Do we suppose Hillary sat down and actually played Manhunt 2 on the campaign trail in order to arrive at this conclusion, or did she just take Joe's word for it, much like she did when she voted for the Kyl-Lieberman amendment that others have quite rightly pilloried her for? Because Joe, you'll recall, was a useful idiot for the Bushies when they discovered Iran had no nuclear weapons program and they had to find another reason to bomb them into the stoneage -- something they neglected to tell the public about. And despite the fact that Clinton's excuse for voting for the AUMF was that she had "bad information" from the Bush Administration on the Iraq weapons program, she decided to trust them -- and Lieberman -- and amp up the Iran war rhetoric.

One wonders at what point she will stop following Lieberman over the cliff.

1. I was ready to throw Al Gore under the bus for The Clipper Chip and tipper's PMRC.

Right now, I'd just like to hang her head under the wheel for a while.

4. Yes but compared to the horrors that are happening now

compared to that-Tipper's time-the 90's seems like a peaceful disneyland paradise. And here we have the presumtive Democratic nominee teeming up with the sponser of the IWR bill and the Iran bill to make political points. Instead of ignoring him. Basically another fuck you to the Democratic base. What has Hillary already stole the election? Mark Penn probably learned how from Rove.

2. Horrific violence heh?

What's the rating on those CIA tapes heh?

Just when you think you can't despise these weasels more..in context..it's even worse...CIA Tape week-video game week-which is more important?

I'm sure Mark Penn's done the numbers-torture of al queda "suspects" no problem-video games for Johnny Iowan-not good.

3. Well... At Least We Got The Christmas Resolution...

There's that.
