Clinton Files Game Legislation

GamePolitics is reporting that Senator Clinton has formally filed game legislation. The bill, likely not to be discussed until the Senate returns from Holiday break, is co-sponsored by Senator Lieberman. From the article: "The Senators emphasized that their legislation will put teeth in the enforcement of video game ratings, helping parents protect their children from inappropriate content. They were joined in making the announcement by April DeLaney, Director of the Washington Office for Common Sense Media; Norman Rosenberg, President and CEO of Parents Action for Children and Dr. Michael Rich, Director of the Center on Media and Child Health at Children's Hospital in Boston and Assistant Professor of Pediatrics at Harvard Medical School, in a show of support for the legislation.

    Hillary Clinton and her driver were cruising along a country road
    one evening when an old cow loomed in front of the car. The
    driver tried to avoid it but couldn't - the old cow was killed.
    Hillary told her driver to go up to the farmhouse and explain to the
    owners what happened. She stayed in the car making phone calls
    to lobbyists.

    About an hour later, the driver staggered back to the car with his
    clothes in disarray. He was holding a half empty bottle of
    expensive wine in one hand, an expensive Cuban cigar in the
    other and was smiling happily, smeared with lipstick.

    "What happened?" asked Hillary.

    "Well," the driver replied, "the farmer gave me the cigar, his wife
    gave me the wine, and their beautiful twin daughters made mad
    passionate love to me."

    "My God, what did you tell them?" asked Hillary.
    The driver replied: "I said, I'm Hillary Clinton's driver, and I just
    killed the old cow."

    The law is a weapon of the government, not a protection for the likes of you. Surely you understand that.
