You're whistling past the graveyard. The Stern fans I know are hard-working, high-earning suburban guys in their 20s and 30s who played sports in college and voted for Bush in '00. The only think they respect less than a loser is a prude. Bush and Powell are making a big mistake by catering to some of their most religiously conservative voters and censoring Stern, IMO.

The only censor of Stern is - himself. Public airways are owned, obviously, by the public. Being "conservative" or "traditional" is not the only premise for requiring adherence to public standards of decency and propriety. Swagger around nude in front of an elementary school and see how long you last. The analogy is appropriate - Stern's broadcasts can be heard by youth. The only thing Stern has to do is clean up his mouth - the responsibility is on him. Words and actions have always had consequences.

If Howard Stern realized just how insignificant he is he would have a heart attack and die.
