Senator Louden is no "fool". I have known John since he was eighteen and a fool he is not. I wish I had been half the conservative at eighteen that he was then. While this may be a little bit grandstanding, John has never shunned from being outspokenly conservative.

Senator Louden is no "fool".

Perhaps, but he's acting pretty foolishly here. He's wasting government money on adults who are acting in a way that is both legal and consensual. And he's given a ton of publicity to this convention that it wouldn't have gotten before. I heard Howard Stern mention this on his show - how many more people are going to attend this convention that would never heard of it if Louden had just let it go?

The Last Temptation of Christ would have been an anonymous failure of a movie if it hadn't been protested and picketed by those who didn't want it to be seen...
