Baseball Hearings
-Wow, I knew these congressional hearings on steroids would be overwrought, but I didn't think a congressmen would break out the Casey At The Bat quotes in the first 5 minutes!
-Rep. Mark Souder once traded a box of baseball cards, including multiple Mickey Mantles, for ONE Nellie Fox card! That is the kind of forward looking person I want representing me in Congress. Let me guess, he doesn't buy this whole global warming thing because it was cold this morning...
-I haven't seen anyone wag there finger like Rafe Palmeiro since a certain "I did not have sexual relations with that woman..." speech.
-A Dennis Kucinich siting! America's crazy old uncle in the attic is decrying the win-at-any-cost mentality in the United States...that kind of explains his presidential campaign...
-United States Congress, Jose Canseco, a discussion of hypothetical "smart pills"...this will get mentioned when The Fall of the American Empire is published in a couple of hundred years...
-Ah, Congressman Noname quickly adds the "smart pills" should be prescribed to Congress joke, didn't see that coming...
-There are few better phrases than "Linda Chavez's time has expired..."
-Sara: "Henry Waxman shouldn't critize the physical characteristics of anyone."
-Chris Matthews refers to Bud Selig's upcoming commentary as "hot."
-Donald Fehr just handed Henry Waxman his ass, no wonder the player's union always comes out on top...
-Fehr is now doing the same thing to Chris Shays!
-Elijah Cummings completely misinterpreting the concept of the Rope-a-Dope...
-I'd like to nominate Mark Souder as the new under Secretary of feigned indignation...
-Donald Fehr just embarassed Westmoreland now, pointing out that it isn't MLB's responsibility to set legal penalties for drug offenses, a fairly obvious point that shouldn't be lost on a committee of CONGRESSMEN. I'm hoping he has an exploratory committee convened for 2008 at this point...
