Too bad Congress doesn't have important things to do

I'm not making this up. I did edit the specific terms, in case there's already some law.....

To amend section 1464 of title 18, United States Code, to provide for the punishment of certain profane broadcasts, and for other purposes. (Introduced in House)

HR 3687 IH
108th CONGRESS
1st Session
H. R. 3687
To amend section 1464 of title 18, United States Code, to provide for the punishment of certain profane broadcasts, and for other purposes.

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
December 8, 2003
Mr. OSE (for himself and Mr. SMITH of Texas) introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary
A BILL
To amend section 1464 of title 18, United States Code, to provide for the punishment of certain profane broadcasts, and for other purposes.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That section 1464 of title 18, United States Code, is amended--
(1) by inserting `(a)' before `Whoever'; and
(2) by adding at the end the following:

`(b) As used in this section, the term `profane', used with respect to language, includes the words `sh#t', `p*ss', `f&ck', `c%nt', `#ssh$le', and the phrases `c!ck s^cker', `m%ther f$cker', and `#ss h#le', compound use (including hyphenated compounds) of such words and phrases with each other or with other words or phrases, and other grammatical forms of such words and phrases (including verb, adjective, gerund, participle, and infinitive forms).'.

I can't wait for the debate.
While we're at it, let's not forget:
1. The time when the campaigning Bush whispered to the campaigning Cheney (too loudly, and in front of microphones) that one of the reporters in the audience was a "first class [ expletive deleted ]. That expletive made the list in the bill noted above.
2. The taxpayer-financed, government-published Starr Report, the best-selling porn rag ever.
