He compared the VCR's impact on the movie industry with woman being raped and killed. What an asshole.

Why the hell is there an [R] in the title? Are we afraid of spoiling the contents of Valenti's will or something?

If there's any example of how our representative goverment -- both Democrats and Republicans -- are in the thrall of lobbyists with limited visions, Jack Valenti is the poster child.
