"I am very concerned with the direction this committee has gone in the last year or so because I think we've been playing gotcha games and I don't agree with that," she said. "I think there are billions of dollars being wasted every minute by the federal government, and what this committee ought to be doing is doing government oversight. And we're not doing that. I am not a fan of holding these hearings on issues we have no business dealing with."

It's fairly rare for me to defend politicians of any party since they are all rat-faced weasel satans, but here is an actual example of Appropriate Oversight (in my opinion even though it's clearly a political potshot, but so what?). So in the spirit of non-partisanship, I send a hearty "thank you, Virginia" to the only person in the whole of congress who has a clue this week. Who gives a rat's ass about baseball? ("ooooh, what about the chillrens?") Congress shouldn't, for certain. It's an embarrassing waste House of Representatives' time, resources and energies.
Maybe we should give this baseball (and football) matter to the Senate. That way they wouldn't use all their time, resources, and energies
Of course I risk a vanishing act vacation to Gitmo for opening my mouth (or fingers, in this case), I'm sure.
At least with our newest Liberal American Crush Sweetheart Heartthrob Barry Oh!®, the only thing we're gonna "Gitmo" of is, BFP* old-school soul wah-wah music, late-night booty calls, and The Smooth Talkin' smokey baritone of our new brown Jesus president. Obama would just pull the smooth move and txt msg Roger Clemons and say, "Roj - cut that shit out!"
