Call me naive, but I sorta have this idea that our elected officials – Senators particularly – should be at least somewhat sensitive to the relative merits of the different issues they confront. I mean, right now, when the economic situation has been described as “catastrophic” and there’s all this potential for lofty debate and serious discussion about economic philosophy and political reality, what is America’s most exclusive deliberative body focusing on?
Don’t get me wrong. I love football. Really wish it was a year-round sport even. But c’mon guys: The United States Senate needs to be involved in determining how college football champions are selected?!?!?!
How about good old-fashioned playoffs? Duh.
Be careful, now. Passing a resolution honoring the Carroll football team is one of the few things Representative Rehberg has accomplished in the House.
His staff even bragged about it in the press.
