What's good for Hollywood is good for molding America, so maybe it was just an innocent, practical and cost effective attempt to redefine "sex" and lower the standard for "R" ratings before the documentary comes out for sixth grade American History classes --- "Some are able and humane men and some are low-grade individuals with the morals of a goat, the artistic integrity of a slot machine, and the manners of a floorwalker with delusions of grandeur." (Raymond Chandler,1945 on movie producers) "In Hollywood, He's Still Their Bill Clinton Donors Unfazed By Last Week's Events http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/WPlate/1998-08/25/036l-082598-idx.html By Sharon Waxman Washington Post Staff Writer Tuesday, August 25, 1998; Page C01 LOS ANGELES�Say what you will about President Clinton's uncertain support in Congress, in the White House, among former advisers and lefty commentators.

In contrast to the garment-rending wails of other Democrats after Clinton's admission last week of an "inappropriate relationship," the attitude here seems to be: He cheated? He lied? He admitted it? Who cares? As one insider put it: "Clinton chose his supporters well. To pick a Hollywood constituency is a kind of genius; no behavior is shocking out here. Bad judgment here is forgiven if you do your job well." <....> � Copyright 1998 The Washington Post Company
