Right now on C-Span, what's wrong with America Specter holding hearing on football coverage!

Senator Arlen Specter is holding a hearing...on football games.

I am so not joking!

We can regulate fucking football game coverage, but we can't have the fairness doctrine. What kind of fucked up priorities does this nation have?

I don't really think the government needs to be interfering in this matter, do you?

1. They seem to love these football/baseball/tiddlywinks
hearings. I guess it gives them some relief from the real world.

3. He's just doing it because
he's a Pennsylvania senator and Comcast, HQ'ed in Philadelphia, wasn't allowed to submit a bid for the "NFL Sunday Package."

Just looking after his constituent.

4. Arless Spectre - What a Whore
I hope Time Warner is kissing his ass with big bucks to waste time with this charade.
