Senators got into the production too. Presidential candidate John McCain of Arizona and his colleague Joseph Lieberman of Connecticut have proposed a bill to force the show-biz industry to label violent products with government-approved warnings. The labels would fall under the law that requires warnings on cigarettes. (Speaking to the Los Angeles Times, a crabby film producer suggested this text: "Enjoy the Film, but Remember: Uncontrolled Firearm Use May Be Dangerous to Your Health...
...those induced by drug taking or other pleasurable activities. Participating in the action of a game--pushing buttons to score, shoot, bomb, fight or fly--entails neuromuscular coordination.

Or, perhaps, like so many others, he had been driven temporarily insane by full-frontal exposure to the case against Clinton...

In the wake of the President's Aug. 17 admission that he had been lying to the country for months, Senate Democrats appeared to have both the ability and the inclination to throw him overboard. Senator Joseph Lieberman rebuked Clinton, calling his behavior "immoral" and "disgraceful." Several other Senators followed suit, and some privately considered calling for his resignation.
