MPAA Names Dan Glickman To Replace Jack Valenti

Zordak writes "Fox News is reporting that the MPAA has chosen a new chief to replace Jack Valenti. Dan Glickman is an avid Linux user, a well-known consumer advocate, vehemently critical of the DMCA and a member of the EFF. Ha ha. Just kidding, Dave Barry style. Dan Glickman is actually a seasoned Washington politician, having served as a Kansas representative and agriculture secretary under President Clinton. He has previously been a lobbyist for the Walt Disney Corporation, and his son is the producer of such quality fare as 'Shanghai Knights' and 'Rush Hour.' Don't be looking for that 'approved' Linux DVD player soon."

As a Kansan I always thought it was funny that the Sec of Ag was a Jew from Kansas. Now things are moving closer to equilibrium as he's going to work in Hollywood.
Glickman's a straight shooter. by glrotate · 2004-07-01 11:31 · Score: 0, Troll

As a Kansan Glickman made his reputation by being honest, dull and hardworking. How else does a Democrat Jew get elected by a bunch rightwing Kansan farmers?
