So, what else is new--- and some contributors contribute just to one
side...
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

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 Hollywood, some of his biggest boosters are furious.

At independent counsel Kenneth Starr. 

among Clinton's
most stalwart supporters, having donated $10,000 to the president's legal
defense fund.

But in Hollywood, committing adultery with an impressionable young woman
hardly qualifies as shocking behavior. 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."
