Dobson & me (reprise)

I’m (half) watching Diane Sawyer interview Charlize Theron and they’re chortling over the second “kiss-my-ass” video clip. Charlize kissed one and now hers is being kissed.

Ha ha ha.

At 8:15? They’re appealing to an audience I guess. Do they suppose the kids have gone off to school? Or it just doesn’t matter any more? More likely morning television is just that desperate.

On this one I bet my views are closer to James Dobson (though I’m not sure I’d make it illegal).

I’m reminded that Phyllis Schlafly and the Eagle Forum were early ardent opponents of the Sonny Bono Copyright Term Extension Act and filed a brief in support of our side in Eldrid v Ashcroft.

Many social conservatives believe, as I do, in local control of media and support mandates for diverse radio and TV ownership. We’re not always oppositional. If we worked together more on issues like these maybe we could find even more common ground.
