Seriously... it's often off-color and crude, but sometimes cataclysmically funny. Lighten up.

Oh I agree. But it wasn't so long ago that Rush would have using this show as an example or our moral decay and other associated descriptive phrases.

I remember back during Monica him bemoaning the courseness that the story brought to the airwaves and that it exposed our young people to such acts. Yet today, that type of talk is common place on his show. It's not Howard Stern, but only because it's packaged better.

Well, yeah, and I'm happy to blame Clinton for all the world's ills! [grin] But the truth is, b.j. jokes predated Fornigate, even in popular culture. For example, consider the movie Airplane and the hilarious scene where Julie Hagerty tries to re-inflate Otto Pilot.

I do agree with you (and Rush) that the coarsening of society is regrettable. I add to the list the "boxers or briefs?" question from the '96 campaign, and quite frankly I was slightly annoyed that Fred Thompson chose to announce on Leno. He's got my support, but I hope that's the last of his genuflections to the insipidity of Hollywood.
