Orrin Hatch's personal homepage links to a porn site



It's no joke. If you go to Orrin Hatch's site and click on "my utah search" 
on the right, you'll end up at a porn site:
http://www.senate.gov/~hatch/index.cfm?Fuseaction=Students.Utah

This is of course the same Orrin Hatch who's an unapologetic antiporn crusader:
http://www.politechbot.com/p-03467.html

And hardly a friend of free expression in general:
http://www.politechbot.com/p-00600.html

Go to Hatch's page before the link is removed. On Wednesday afternoon, the 
extremely embarrassing video file with Hatch's destroy-the-PCs remarks 
was  quietly disappeared from judiciary.senate.gov.

Hey Declan, I thought I should toot one of our
writer's horns. For your consideration:

Orrin Hatch: Software Pirate?
Sen. Orrin Hatch caused a stir by suggesting copyright
holders should have the right to remotely destroy
computers of suspected pirates. Turns out the Senator
is using unlicensed software on his website. By
Leander Kahney.
