Just wait until some future administration declares it "indecent" to critcize the government.

Be careful what you wish for.

what they do is political speech. a constant drumbeat describing anal sex over the public airwaves is hardly the same.

[FITZ]

I think you're right --- it's hard to believe anyone isn't bored silly with his show by now --- I tried listening once --- but gave up after 20 minutes --- I kept waiting for something shocking -- unfortunately not much is shocking anymore.

[myrabach]

Who's Howard Stern and why should I care?

[oceanview]

what stops (or should stop) CBS from airing pornography over the public television airwaves?

[Empireoftheatom48]

LOL Bye , Bye LOL!!!

[GulliverSwift]

South Park is far more shocking and far more witty than Stern's bilge. He's either trying to make himself into the next Larry Flynt among the far left or trying to boost his name ID. He's lucky he's gotten away with his crap for as long as he has.

[Mulder]

what stops (or should stop) CBS from airing pornography over the public television airwaves?

The "off" switch on your remote control.

[dinok]

If I hear the term "public airwaves" one more time I will puke. Aren't the liberals saying the land in national parks are "public" as an argument to control its use and prevent people from even walking on it?

I don't want to substitute liberal political correctness with conservative political correctness.

Hi AmishDude-

I know you've got four syllables to add to this thread!

Maybe you have forgotten about the Clintons having Bill O'Reilly audited THREE times and trying to put Rush out of business.

[TOUGH STOUGH]

Awww, poor wittle Howie, what will America do without your filthy ideas and your crass, profane humor???

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

Eventually, the democrats will run the government again, and they will use all these powers congress passed to stifle conservative speech and the rights of conservatives to surf the web or donate to their causes.

And if Howard Stern is allowed to continue with his perversion schtick, the 'rats (when in power) will leave conservatives alone? Is that your argument?

[AmishDude]

Now I don't know why you would ping me to a Stern thread. After all, such threads are not filled with breast-beating, nor whining nor any sort of hero worship.

I don't see why you would need me to add to the obvious intellectual content that Stern fans bring to --

Ba Ba Booey!

Seriously, though, this is too big a day to worry about Howard Stern's whining. Check my tagline.

[JOE6PAK]

Howard. You are a friggin millionaire! Take the money and run! Spend the rest of your life having fun or hangin' out at Scores. You don't need this aggravation. BA-BA-BOOIE!

Ackerman said the vote on the bill is happening today, and that he feels it will easily pass through the right wing-controlled House but that the Senate may veto it.

Ummm didn't that pass by something like 319 - 22 votes

Gee .. there are only 22 Dems in the house??? .. when did that happen?

[teletech]

Good riddance!

[dennisw]

No more anal sex jokes and obsessions

[oceanview]

well, at least you are honest. you feel nothing should stop CBS from airing porn. I guess "the Murder Channel" would be OK too. And the "IV Drug channel". And the means by which the the public is to keep this kind of stuff out of the culture would be through some kind of diligent, 100% effective all the time, channel blocking everywhere, on every TV set that children could and might see. and the same for radios, we need foolproof parental controls for those also.
