I'm sure Focus on the Family's Dobson will get it next year, b/c he doesn't think kids should watch much TV...and since they are giving the award to well-known, sensible moderate Harkin this year, then I'm certain that these child advocates don't have an ideological axe to grind....
"Integrity" must mean something different in the Neighborhood of Make Believe.
Harkin? Integrity? In the same sentence?
Yeah,he cares a lot. HA!
Beauty!
Barf, barf, barf. Using the name Harkin anywhere in proximity of the word "integrity" makes my stomach roil.
Ditto.
The man is a complete loon!

"It's a beautiful day in the neigborhood
A beatuful day for a neighbor.
Would you be mine?
Could you be mine?
I always wanted to live in a house like yours, my friend
Maybe when there's nobody at home, I'll break in!
So, I married a woman who said she was rich,
Spent all of her money, walked out on the bitch!
Won't you be my..
Won't you be my..
Won't you be my neighbor??"

"During a 1992 bid for the presidency, Sen. Tom Harkin of Iowa claimed that he had served as a pilot in Vietnam. His claim had surfaced 8 years before, during a 1984 bid for reelection to the Senate, when Harkin boasted that he had served one year in Vietnam flying F-4's and F-8's on combat air patrols and photo-reconnaissance support missions. Challenged by Sen. Barry Goldwater, Harkin did a quick shuffle, claiming that he had actually flown combat sorties over Cuba during the sixties. Harkin finally admitted that he not seen combat but had served as a ferry pilot stationed in Atsugi, Japan, flying aircraft to be repaired from Atsugi to the Philippines. When pressed by reporters to explain how much time he really spent in Vietnam, Harkin estimated that, over a year, he flew in and out of Vietnam a dozen or so times. But Harkin's military record showed no Vietnam service decorations. He finally conceded that he had not flown combat air patrols in Vietnam and began describing himself as a Vietnam era vet."
