Since we apparently HAVE to have sports hearings in congress
Edited on Wed Feb-06-08 02:20 PM by SoCalDem
Maybe they could at least make them interesting...

All players must show up in uniform & ready to play...

Mascots should be included (for revving up the audience)

USC Marching band could play during intermissions.

and cheerleaders..with sparkles & pom-poms...& white boots and hot pants

During lulls, they could run a few plays..hit a few buckets of balls..have autograph signing sessions..

A guy could come in with hotdogs & peanuts..

Fox Sports could cover it and have one lucky fan in the audience attempt a field goal or something...or maybe blindfold the guy and have him try to hit a fastball....

If they get really boring, maybe the cheerleaders could mud-wrestle..

4. That's right, it doesn't matter that the rest of the country is ...
out of work and going bankrupt. Nothing gets you face time like brow beating a 7 time Cy Young winner.

2. I think Congress should be the ones playing cheerleader
and have to "cheer" their questions and comments

I expect splits, somersaults, and pyramids as well.

for break (half-time), I want Congressional aids to perform "Grease"

6. These Sports hearings truly show how unfocused our Congress is to the real issues of the day..
Instead of Sports Hearings, lets have members of Congress go down to Louisiana and spend quality time helping people that still suffer as a result of their failures. Or how about actually investigating this administration aggressively for once? Its absolutely ridiculous that we have to endure being governed by such lackadaisical imbeciles.
