Give me a break

Are you fucking kidding me? Is this really an issue for Congress to be concerning themselves with? The last thing they need to be concerning themselves with is a fucking issue that the NFL dealt with promptly and appropriately 5 MONTHS AGO!

The dog and pony shows in Congress really need to stop. Seriously, how does this even fall under their realm of remotely fucking important compared with other stuff like, oh, war, protection of civil liberties, blah, blah, blah. The steriods thing kind of makes sense considering they are illegal substances under US law, but that is still a situation where Congress is unnecessarily inserting themselves.

However, this comment really takes the cake and has my bloodpressure going this morning:

"That requires an explanation," Specter told The Times. "The NFL has a very preferred status in our country with their antitrust exemption. The American people are entitled to be sure about the integrity of the game. It's analogous to the CIA destruction of tapes, or any time you have records destroyed."

Seriously? This is the same as the CIA destroying tapes that relate to national security and the protection of human rights? FUCK YOU!

With all due respect Senator Spector, it may be time for you to retire and pass America's future to someone who understands the importance of the office you hold.
