Congress At It's worst

The 2008 baseball season is now upon us with the start of the exhibition season. But Congress has been throwing high, hard and inside to some of the stars of the game for some time now, attempting to score another K and keep us all safe from those who would tarnish the name of our American Past Time along with Mom and Apple Pie. Can you say, “Steroids?” Who cares?

Now, on to football and the recent revelations that one team spied on another to gain an unfair advantage. Congress, donning shoulder pads and helmets, huddles in those sacrosanct halls, fourth and forever to go, a Hail Mary flea flicker play their best shot to make us forget that there are more important things going on in this world.

I could give a fiddler’s fuck about Bond, Clemens or Belichek. They provided entertainment that we could tune in and out at our discretion. If they lied, shame on them and they can face the consequences. But no blood has been shed on their part and all the while Congress chooses to ignore the lies of an Administration , an Administration overflowing with blatant lies, that has deceived the American people and continues to do so with designs on promoting it‘s own agenda.

How ironic that only one scapegoat has been sent to the clubhouse for throwing spitball curves despite the overwhelming evidence that the Administration has kept us in the dark. Foggy recollections have led to minor banishment from the team via the age old tradition of resignation in good standing and slaps on the back of a job well done. National Security and Executive Privilege frame the dodge ball defense.

Congress wears a size S jock strap when it comes to pursuing the major issues.
