Bush Spends 7+ Years Shredding Constitution - Congress Investigates Baseball

[paparush]

And NOW Specter wants to have hearings on "Spying in the NFL"

I'm not making this shit up.

We are being spied upon by our own government, and our elected officials are going to dig deep into whether there is illegal spying..in football.

PHOENIX, Feb. 4 -- League officials were working Monday with staff members for Sen. Arlen Specter (R-Pa.) to schedule a meeting between Specter and NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell for late this week or early next week.

<snip>
Specter said in recent days that he wanted to meet with Goodell to discuss the league's handling of the spying scandal involving the New England Patriots. Specter was critical of the league's investigation and of Goodell's decision to have six videotapes handed over by the Patriots destroyed.

1. wait untill congress starts investigating britney and K-fed. hehe

[gateley]

2. What is their fucking problem?

Just look out the window. Go to the grocery store and see how many people are paying for food on credit. Go to the unemployment office and see the crowds.

They shouldn't be allowed to investigate or hold hearings on ANYTHING without our permission.

Like Gravel said, we have to give the power back to the people and take it away from the Congress.

It's beyond bizarre -- it's surreal.

3. Indeed, it is surreal.

Spying in football..fer chrissake!

Oh the Irony!

[yorgatron]

7. remember the old advertisement Baseball,Hot Dogs,Apple Pie,and Chevrolet?.

[gateley]

9. Excellent! nt

4. It's a Diversion from more Important Matters of Course

Most people on ESPN's web forum think the same thing. These idiots living in that DC bubble really need to get out more often. People are not buying the BS the way they used to.

Actually I take it back..... keep acting oblivious Senator.... you are doing a fine job!

[corkhead]

11. I don't think it's "acting"

[indepat]

13. Gotta keep our priorities in order

[The Stranger]

5. Oh, you are nothing but a GOP mole sent here to turn us against Reid and Nancy Disaster.

Remember, "we don't have the votes" to investigate the dismantling of the Republic or ongoing war crimes -- only baseball.

:sarcasm:

:woohoo:

[mod mom]

6. I heard this on NPR this am and thought WTF!

[AnneD]

8. Isn't that a pisser.

I don't care what grown adults are stupid enough to do to themselves. I want to make sure the kids stay off juice-but when you are an adult-you make decisions. Hello-it's called free will.

[Solly Mack]

10. Nothing like taking care of the important stuff

[ixion]

12. our government is corrupt and pathetic...and it's "investigations" like these that highlight that.

:argh: :grr:

[yurbud]

14. remember their steroids hearing?

[Yael]

15. Good title.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry anymore.

[yurbud]

16. all sports is just professional wrestling (but so is politics)

[jtrockville]

17. WHAT? Nothing about which NFL tv channels are on cable?
