Impeachment may have been taken off the table, but who needs to prosecute a man who slaughtered millions of Iraqis, illegally wiretapped the phones of innocent Americans, lied to Congress about matters of national security, ate birthday cake with John McCain while an American city drowned, and authorized the use of torture in complete defiance of international law?
No, our Congress doesn't need to go after a person like that, they much bigger criminals to go after. They need to crack down on baseball players who may have used drugs, because we all know that Congress' time is best served calling on investigation of a single individual like Roger Clemens who may have used drugs. After, we all know that Roger Clemens' drug use has a profound impact on the lives of ordinary Americans. Once they prosecute him for doing drugs, I think it is time for Congress to call every other American who may have done drugs in the past to testify in front of Congress, because there is no more important duty our Congress has than to deal with individuals who use drugs one by one. After they are done with Clemens I say they go after Tommy Chong, lets just turn Congress into a drug court so we can show the world that we are tough on drugs.
They don't need to worry about the fact that people are being killed every day in Iraq, they don't need to worry about the fact that tens of millions have no access to health care, they don't need to worry about the fact that virtually nothing is being done to address global warming, they don't need to worry about all the homeless people that are sleeping on the streets tonight, as long as they tackle the important issues surrounding baseball everything will be OK.
They don't need to call the Halliburton CEO who ripped off our nation to testify under oath, they don't need to go after the oil company executives who have engaged in price gouging, they don't need to worry about the pharmaceutical companies who are willing to watch people die if it means they make more profits, no none of those people matter because they have a baseball player to investigate.
I am so proud of our Congress. So far in this term they have managed to find time to condemn MoveOn.org for criticizing the man who was leading the massacre in Iraq, they found time to recognize the importance of Christmas, and they found time to investigate baseball. I can forgive them for not doing anything to bring the war to an end and pretty much ignoring global warming, as long as I know that Roger Clemens is not destroying his own body. After all I am sure Roger Clemens was the top issue on voters minds when they went to the polls in 2006, they did not care about Iraq or holding this administration accountable they only cared about drug use among baseball players.
Aren't you glad our elected “representatives” have their priorities straight?
