You know what? Screw that. I AM mad!
Honest to God, I've had all I can take from this Congress. The economy is in the shitter, we've called off the draw down in Iraq, Afghanistan is falling apart, New Orleans is still a craphole, and what's the headline coming out of congress?
"Clemens shelled by Congress"
Seriously?! Steroids in baseball? Henry Waxman, I love you brother, but can I tell you something in strictest confidence? We elected you to investigate the Bush administration, NOT Roger Clemens. Maybe I'm wrong. Hang on, let me go back to 2006 and see where "steroids in baseball" ranked in the exit polls. Oh, that's right, it was NOWHERE in the exit polls.
I was just starting to recover from this insult to my intelligence when I moved on to the #2 story in today's headlines:
"Belichick has been taping since 2000, Goodell tells Specter"
I see where you guys may have gotten confused. See, when we said we wanted you to investigate "Spy Gate," we meant Dick Cheney's office outing an undercover operative and burning her cover company, NOT investigating Bill Belichick's videotaping fetishes.
There's a certain ironic insanity to Arlen Specter getting his nuts in a wad over Bill Belichick secretly recording the practices of other NFL teams when he could give two shits about whether or not Bush is secretly recording the conversations of American citizens (he did, after all, vote to approve telecom immunity with the FISA extension). What the fuck is that lesson? If you want privacy, play football!?
It would be one thing if Republicans still controlled the House and the Senate, but memo to the Democratic "Leadership:" It's your fucking show now! You're behind the wheel! You set the agenda. So, that being the case:
STOP WASTING YOUR TIME INVESTIGATING SPORTS AND DO SOMETHING USEFUL!
The world is crashing down around your ears, and it's like all you guys are doing is telling dick and fart jokes. Lead, follow, or get the fuck out of the way!
