I woke up this morning to the news that, amazingly, Sen. Arlen Specter has called for an independent investigation of Spygate. The article says that he wants an investigation that is possibly similar to the Mitchell report in baseball. With all that is going on in the world, what is this idiot thinking? I really believe that this is another form of earmarking, because he is doing this to please his Eagle fan constituents, no matter what the cost to everyone else.
Aren't there other more important things to investigate or spend taxpayer dollars on? I don't know how much the Mitchell investigation cost the taxpayers, but in my opinion, it was a waste of money. It was just a photo-op for the Congress so that they could stand behind their pulpits and say "Steroids is bad". Maybe Spector could give us all a break and get up there, make another speech and say "Cheating is bad". Do we need another long, drawn out investigation to point out the obvious? Or is our culture so tainted that we need an investigation to find out the difference between right and wrong?
We could spend the money on other things, like drilling for oil. Maybe you should think of something constructive. Don't be the usual McCain-esque thorn in the president's side. Make yourself useful. Think of something important to do for a change.
