Arlen Specter

How during this time of campaigning for President. A time when both parties are attempting to put their best candidate for this nation’s highest public office forward. A time when the most important principles of American Culture are being debated and strategies discussed. How do we at this time have such a notable public official such as one Arlen Specter concern himself with the trivialities of Spygate. No not Watergate, or those shady land deals of the Clinton's, or those very suspicious closed no bid contract for all the Bush buddies. No, Spygate, the little asterisk to the thus far 18-0 season of the NFL's New England Patriots.
This is such an affront to good sense that I'm fighting the sensation of nausea, just from actually having to contemplate what possible merits a move such as Specter's may have. The only sensible conclusion I could arrive at is that it is at best irresponsible of him to waste an opportunity for a free headline to promote his Football teams over his political team. As the heavyweights of politics discuss poverty, war, economics, healthcare, policy, and management. Specter wants to discuss, oh and not for free we're talking about on the tax payers’ dime, football. And not a discussion of the possible conspiracy to cover up or conceal or harbor an illegal subculture, as was presumably the case with the steroid hearings. No, this time the concern is why evidence of photographing defensive gestures was destroyed. This "evidence" is evidence of a violation of League regulations not State or Federal Statues. As far as I am aware the tapes were all containing images of adults (over 18) and mostly with there clothes on. Perhaps with the exception of a topless defensive lineman or two. No children, no animals, no cups, and no sex. Perhaps the Senators time would be better spent perusing the makers of the 2 girls and 1 cup reaction tapes who display reactions of the elder and young after viewing the aforementioned clip.
I feel that it is more appropriate to deem the Senators move as an abuse of power and office. I believe his comments and behavior is the real violation here. Presumably, the Senator true motives lie in his views regarding the anti-trust issue with the NFL and its TV network. I argue though that using ones position of authority regarding one arena to force an outcome in another is a violation of ethics, and the trust the American people put in their elected officials and senior member of the Senate.

Go Giants!!!!!
