You can't second your own motion, Neph.
But I get your point.
I'm going to watch the full unedited version tonight (if I can stomach it).
Like I said last week, my problem with ABC showing the movie had nothing to do with my pro-Clinton or anti-Bush stance. It had to do with a "news organization" (which plays by different rules than "entertainment", especially during election time), using the public airwaves to disseminate fiction dressed up as truth. Period.
It's the government's hypocrisy that irks me. In this case, the FCC, which allows things like this to happen, while consistently overstepping its bounds to censor broadcasters for "obscenities". The FCC was crap under Clinton, and it's been crap under Bush. The pandering to the moral right is nothing new for the past several decades in both the Dems and the GOP.
