He's amusing, he's not that dirty--and he obviously needs a lot of attention from other people. So what? Taxpayers' money spent in pursuit of Stern is nothing more than a welfare handout for lawyers and bureaucrats. Why doesn't the FCC do something about its mandate to protect children by enforcing truth in advertising for children's programming? The misleading, overamped, cynically hypnotic garbage that is pitched at kids during their peak viewing hours is far, far more harmful to this country than Stern could ever hope to be. JAMES C.
