If there were any doubts that Hillary had her sights set on the Presidency, they were washed away when I read that she is asking the FTC to investigate and calling for legislation over the GTA sex-hack scandal. This is so silly on so many levels.

The sexual content is possibly the least offensive part of this violent adult game for starters. But the keyword here is "adult". Where the heck are the parents who should be the ones to regulate the games, media content, and the overall direction of their kids' development? And to get to the juicy parts of the game, you would have to download and install the patch, which for most kids today is no big deal. But just surfing to real porn sites is even easier.

So what's the point here? Just trying to usurp the "family values" issue from the GOP I'd have to guess. Nothing wrong with that, but this doesn't seem the right issue to try to out-Republican the Republicans. She's been trying to gain centrist credentials for some time, so this is just more of the same. And I guess pandering to the right hasn't worked out too badly for the current President. I suppose she can do this without jeopardizing her current base.
