Sen. Hatch ‘Glad’ to Be in R-Rated Movie

Sen. Orrin G. Hatch (R-Utah), long a critic of violence in Hollywood, has a cameo in the new Michael Douglas movie “Traffic,” which includes nudity, sex, drug use and profane language. “I’m glad I did it,” Hatch said. The R-rated movie, which has received high praise from critics, has an anti-drug message. “I don’t see how they could have made it without violence and still accurately portray the drug culture--and how degrading it is,” Hatch told the Deseret News in Salt Lake City.
