Jack Valenti, Dead at 85
saforrest writes "Jack Valenti, a man whose influence in both Washington and Hollywood was profound, died today at age 85. He first became famous as special assistant to Lyndon Johnson: he can even be seen in the famous photo aboard Air Force One. In 1966, he quit this job to become president of the MPAA, from 1966 to 2004."
Where my dad comes from in Greece (Lesbos - yes, my Dad is a Lesbian), they have a saying.
phonetically: "Homa sto kolo tou, zoi se logo mas"
which roughly translates as "Dirt up his arse, life to us"
It is typically said when learning of the death of someone you prefer in their new state.
...right on his grave.Rot in hell, you son of a bitch. the first post was so much more insightful than this.
Velenti was famous for this quote.
"I say to you that the VCR is to the American film producer and the American public as the Boston strangler is to the woman home alone."
And thus the first quote can be seen as quite hilarious.
