Lixy well said. Now as we do get the letterman show here late in oz, I did watch the ones when Howard was on. Now from a stand off point of view Howard is harmless. I have watched his movie "Private Parts" and found it very funny. Now we have a similar watch dog here in oz but not as tight as the FCC.
Howard did say on letterman that the only reason why Michael Powell got the job was because of his father. Now as you so clearly stated about the first ammendmant (which here in oz we also have) freedom of speech no matter how controversial, is still free.
Howard has the right idea. It just sucks that he has to go satellite to keep his boat afloat. Here's a question to think about. If he is so controversial then why haven't the FBI been after him? It seems to me the FCC are on his back coz they got nothing better else to do.
They even chased Eminem coz of some of his lyrics. He's only a rapper and they decide to slap him with a lawsuit as well. It's bueracracy gone wrong.
I think that someone needs to give the FCC an enema. (Well Howard's been doing that for years already)
What I think is even more disconcerning is that Colin and Michael Powell are like carbon copies of each other. From what I have seen here via the news, Colin was trying to convince the UN to go to war against Hussain. Now his son is going to war against Howard Stern. WTF?????
The left hand doesn't know what the right hand is screwing up!
