I guess Arlen Specter has nothing better to do...taking up for "poor" T.O.

I guess poor Arlen isn't busy enough...

PHILADELPHIA -- Sen. Arlen Specter is accusing the National Football League and the Philadelphia Eagles of treating Terrell Owens unfairly

The Pennsylvania Republican says he might refer the matter to the antitrust subcommittee of the Senate Judiciary Committee, of which he is the chairman.

1. Arlen isn't up for re-election for another 5 years, he can piss off Philly

We still don't want TO back. If you notice, Rick Santorum isn't going to touch this with a 10-foot poll because he knows it'll tank him in the Philly voting districts

2. Good lord.

Is this really in his job description? Can't he be doing other, more important things with his time?

Why don't people get this pissed off when anyone else gets fired? Look at it this way, he's getting one hell of a severance.

3. Isn't this line a contradiction here:

"I am madder than hell at what he has done in ruining the Eagles' season," the Pennsylvania Republican said. "I think he's in flagrant breach of his contract and I believe the Eagles would be within their rights in not paying him another dime or perhaps even suing him for damages."

But Specter said, "I do not believe, personally, that it is appropriate to punish him . He's not committed a crime, he's committed a breach of contract. And what they're doing against him is vindictive."

So... the Eagles would be just fine if they DIDN'T pay him, but how DARE they just bench him and continue to pay his salary. Anyone else see ANYTHING wrong with that logic? :shrug:

4. The thoughts of a fan with too much power...

And not enough time or patience to actually think about what he is saying!!!

6. It's a fucking GAME, Arlen.

Jesus Christ. It's fucking football...it's not like...you know, homelessness in America, poverty, loss of jobs. I guess that stuff is silly and trivial compared to a NFL player.

7. Way Back In 1973,...

...Judge Lisa Richette, a specter antagonist when he was Philadelphia D.A., said that he was a "little nixon".

How True, How True!
