Wasting time

I just read an article (link is dead - Ed.) that might prove to be the biggest waste of time since the Senate baseball hearings. Apparently Sen. Arlen Specter (R-PA) has decided that the Patriots spying scandal needs to be investigated. Spector says he wants to do this because he has questions about how the NFL handled this matter in relation to their anti-trust exemption status.

I say what a crock of shit! This is an utter waste of time and not worth the attention of a US Senator. At best it might be a legal matter to be hashed out in court, but I think the situation was handled and no more should be said about it. I think Specter’s Republican colleagues should take him aside and show him the party platform plank about returning to small government.

If we really want to investigate a business, why not start with ExxonMobile?
