...violence-inciting "hate speech"? Meanwhile, earlier this month, Clinton took the stage with Santorum and Brownback to decry indecency in pop culture and call for a federal study of its effect on children. The issue is even thorny for Bush, who knows his debt to social conservatives but told C-SPAN in January that parents are "the first line of responsibility.

And I wasn’t at all disappointed with what I got: hours on Michael Jackson’s arrest, the Kobe Bryant trial and the latest headline-grabber, an isolated case of mad cow disease in Washington.
