holy joementum from connecticut -- when he isn't allowing dubya to kiss him on the cheek or citibank to line his pockets for supporting bankruptcy "reform" -- bends over and takes it from the porn industry:

Connecticut Senator Joe Lieberman – who has long campaigned against the growing coarseness of our culture -- along with renown gambling addict William Bennet, handed out “Silver Sewer” awards to those who made immoral videos, and who has criticized MTV for having porn stars on the air, accepted over $16,000.

Well considering the adult film industry is now intimately connected to the entertainment industry (I'm sure that every major network owns some adult media somewhere for some time now) the only shocking thing is that people haven't noticed until now.
