Proving once again that there's no reaction quite like an overreaction. The only way I'm OK with this is if the edit came at the request of the show's production team. Anything else is censorship...and I always thought HBO was beyond that sort of thing. Especially in light of this quote from the DVD commentary: *"**It’s not a choice, it’s not a political statement. We just had to use whatever heads we had lying around."*
And here's what I'm really curious about: if it had been a bust of Clinton or Jimmy Carter, would anyone have said boo about it? M-D Oy.
