#@$%&!


For someone who so quickly condemned Don Imus, Senator Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.) has had no qualms accepting money from celebrities who spew similar obscenities. Last week, Family Research Center Action sent out an alert asking Clinton's Exploratory Committee to return the $800,000 it raised with the help of Timbaland, a rapper infamous for his vulgar and profane lyrics. Included in the alert was the only visible e-mail address on Clinton's web site so that people could contact her office and ask her to return the Timbaland proceeds. The reaction from her campaign was both swift and surprising, considering that it included even more profanity than a Timbaland song. The recipient of thousands of your e-mails at the campaign was extremely upset and he let FRC know in language so offensive the FCC would blush. Does anyone else see the irony in Clinton's committee using profanity to defend profanity?
