On the first anniversary of the Super Bowl wardrobe malfunction that shook the world, it's clear that just one was enough to wreak havoc. The ensuing Washington indecency crusade has unleased a wave of self-censorship on American television unrivaled since the McCarthy era.
Even NBC's presentation of the Summer Olympics, in which actors donned body suits to simulate 'nude' ancient Greek statues, is under investigation.
This repressive cultural environment was officialy ratified on November 2nd, when Ms. Jackson's breast pulled off its greatest coup of all: the re-election of President Bush.
Or so it was decreed by the media hoarde that retroactively delared that 'moral values' was the campaigns decisive issue.
The policial bosses of so called 'family orginizations' are now spending their political capital like drunken sailors, redoubling their demands that the Bush Administration marginalize gay people, stamp out sex education and turn popular culture into a continious loop of 'Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm.'

They just can't bring themselves to examine the role their own views, their own positions and especially their own candidate played in their defeat.
Fine by me. Bring on Howie! YEAAGHHH!

Frank should have stuck to reviewing movies and plays. He is so politically tone deaf..

When the dems climb out of the gutter they been sliding into over the past 15 years, maybe they'll win something. When they continue to take positions that disgust most normal HETERO people, they will continue to lose. Their anti-God, anti-American blame us first attitude is a losing position.

This is probably the stupidist statement I have ever seen. Sure Dems, just keep listening to morons like Frank Rich, you'll be back on top in no time.

I'm surprised he can smile that widely, given the movement of his teeth over time from biting pillows.

That's right. I'm hoping for some full frontal male nudity this year - to cement our control of Congress in 2006.
