The Bill Bennett Wingnut Hypocrisy Award

It's been a while since we've been able to make fun of a right-wing hypocrite, but our long national nightmare is over. John Rigas, the wingnut tycoon who runs Adelphia Communications, a huge cable-TV provider, loves talking about moral values even as he and his son have plundered their company, Tyco-style. Not only that, but Adelphia is now going to make hard-core porn available in Southern California, becoming the first cable company to offer XXX programming in the country. Profits or propriety? Profits.

(Thanks to today's American Progress Report for the heads up. Oops: porn pun.)
