Since we're looking at some national "downtime" at the moment, because there's nothing better for our legislators to be doing and because the whole steroids in baseball thing has blown over, Sen. Arlen Specter, ranking Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, is investigating the NFL
It is alleged the Commissioner apparently destroyed some tapes that may have had evidence of the New England Patriots cheating - there's a surprise - and Specter wants to know why, though he promises it won't overtake the current Iraq war as a matter of national importance.
Gee, thanks Arlen for that reassurance, though we still think is the most retarded thing Congress has gotten itself involved in, well, gosh, we guess IN JUST A COUPLE OF MONTHS since you guys were just issuing subpoenas to BASEBALL PLAYERS. My question is does he think it is more uregent than Health Care, Illegal Immigration, people losing their homes and other serious issues confronting this country.
Listen, we don't mean to get all preachy. We mention it because it's starting to be tax time, which is a very real reminder that, you know, we're paying for this. Every time Arlen Specter sends a letter to an NFL commissioner asking for an explanation for whatever stupid thing, we have paid for the stationary and the postage and the envelope and the ink and the whole thing and it's also time not spent looking into other kinds of destruction, say at the Central Intelligence Agency.
Just saying. Anyway, go Giants. By the way Senator Specter who are you rooting for?
