Hillary: Too Much Sex on TV
New York Sen. Hillary Clinton, whose husband's affair with a 23-year-old intern prompted saturation news coverage for a year, complained on Wednesday that children were exposed to too much sex in the media.Calling the proliferation of adult entertainment "a silent epidemic," the top Democrat said, "Just a decade ago, we made great strides to keep children away from inappropriate material."
In 1994, Clinton noted, she and her husband hosted the Children's Television Summit at the White House and worked for passage of the Children's Television Act, which led to the implementation of the V-Chip in every new television over 13 inches.
It was also the year Mr. Clinton was sued for sexual harassment by Arkansas state worker Paula Jones - which led to the discovery that he was using the Oval Office for sexual trysts.
Soon the evening news was saturated with reports chock full of R-rated material, forcing parents to deal with uncomfortable questions from children as young as five-years-old.
Surveys now credit Sen. Clinton's husband with making oral sex an acceptable practice among the impressionable teenage population.
Still, in her remarks on Wednesday, the top Democrat made no mention of her husband's role in desensitizing an entire generation to sexual topics that were previously taboo.
