42. The RNC's censorship campaign is too late

I recall that in the early '90s NBC series "SeaQuest DSV," set in the second decade of the 21st Century, mention in one episode was made of an American naval vessel, "the USS Hillary Clinton." No one in Republican leadership at the time expressed offense at this. The series, not a big hit, is nevertheless available on disc so I suppose that if Prince Reince were ever to notice the reference, he'd put NBC on double-secret probation.
