I do not want Linda McMahon representing the good state of Connecticut in the U.S. Senate. Her business, legal, money-making and successful, at its center, sells soft-core porn. Now, that's not to say there isn't a place for soft-core porn in the world. The hard-core stuff is a little too much for most people, so soft-core offers just enough titillation without causing a person to lose control. Some may even find WWE romantic.
 
I don't. I'm not a wrestling fan, obviously. I used to be when I was around 13 years old, about the age level WWE is aimed at. It was vastly different then. Dick the Bruiser and Vern Gagne were dominating. Women wrestlers put on a good show, but there was virtually no sex involved. It was all muscle, even for the girls.
 
But, since that time, WWE has descended into the darkest regions of human behavior, purely for exploitation. I don't know what the audiences look like now, but I've seen clips of what they're watching and I'd be embarrassed to take anyone in my family.
 
The candidate, businesswoman that she is, will appreciate the bottom line and the bottom line is this. If Linda McMahon manufactured cigarettes, we wouldn't be having this discussion.
