Ted Kennedy Says Senate Has More Important Business
Sen. Edward M. Kennedy (D-Mass.) says the New England Patriots' videotaping scandal should not be a matter for Congressional scrutiny.
"With the war in Iraq raging on, gasoline prices closing in on $4 a gallon, and Americans losing their homes at record rates to foreclosure, the United States Senate should be focusing on the real problems that Americans are struggling with," Kennedy, a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, said in a written statement. "I'm looking forward to another great Patriots season where they can let their play on the field speak for itself."
Sen. Arlen Specter (R-Pa.) said Wednesday that the NFL should appoint an independent investigator and left open the possibility of Congressional involvement if the league does not comply.

Walsh indicated that the New York Jets were another team that taped (ironic). Spector isn't interested in the Jets because his Eagles didn't lose the Super Bowl to the J-E-T-s, JETS, JETS JETS!

Thankfully someone speaking with a TRUE responsibility to what issues the Congress should be concerned. It is heinous that our tax dollars are spent on investigations of videotaping a "football team." Sen. Specter and his supporters should be ashamed of themselves to believe this issue is more important than $4.00 per galllon gas; the Iraq War; unemployment; and thousands upon thousands children's minds and abilitities being squandered in sub-standard schools. \
Move on, People, Move on.

Dear God... I'm agreeing with Ted Kennedy!
The whole thing is insane. It's like if Congress was investigating Foot Locker because one of its regional managers falsified his quarterly sales figures.
