Isn't it nice that Sen. Specter took time out from backstabbing Republicans to comment on an NFL soap opera?

[Sterm26]

Er, comment should read "stabbing Republicans in the back"...

[airborne]

Specter is playing to his liberal base!

[Izzy Dunne]

No wonder they couldn't spend time on Alito hearings - they're so busy with this important stuff...

[worldclass]

I like the concept...can we blacklist Specter?

[somemoreequalthanothers]

Arlen Specter says he is looking into the Terrell Owens situation,

The same guy who pushed back hearings on the Supreme Court nominee because there "just wasn't time". Great.

[Just A Nobody]

Yeah, funny he has time to get involved in the NFL, but his schedule is too busy to hold hearings for SCOTUS, for which we pay him. Does the NFL pay him for his advice?

[Ben Mugged]

Specter and Owens have a lot in common when it comes to teamwork. Just wish it was just as easy to bench Specter.

[denydenydeny]

This clown doesn't have time for the Brent Kavanaugh judicial nomination, or the re-authorization of the Patriot act...but he has time for this?

[satchmodog9]

FU Arlen. Mind your damn business and keep your stinking rotten government out of private business. Keep your bloated, money sucking government out of personal lives. If Owens were being put in blocks he may have jurisdiction. That jag Owens is being paid and that's all TO is really about. Go away Arlen or just switch parties and be done with it.

[mwl1]

This is surprising, because Specter rarely flies against public opinion, and the public is not with Owens on this, it's with the Eagles.

[Tallguy]

Careful Arlen! Your politics are sometimes puzzling to us, but getting involved in the TO-saga -- to the detriment of the Eagles -- we won't forgive.

Actually, I always vote against Arlen, but I enjoy dissing a Rhino...

[lexington minuteman 1775]

So let me get this straight. The Judiciary committe was too busy to take on the Alito nomination before the holidays, but Spectre has time to straighten out things between TO and the Eagles? hmm....?

[JLS]

Sorry Senator Spector, TO is under contract. He is being paid by your home town team. They do not feel having him on their active roster is in their best interest.

It may come as a surprise to you as a Senator, THAT IS THEIR DECISION NOT YOURS.

[Buffettfan]

But, but but, isn't it racist to use that terminology when referring to an African American football player?

[headstamp]

Hey Arlen baby, How about concentrating on your duties as the Judiciary Chairman rather than a football team's internal affairs.

Like, maybe, conducting a hearing for the NEXT SUPREME COURT JUSTICE when you find the time! Idiot.

[Not A Snowbird]

So what's Specter going to do? Force a team to take TO, whether they want to or not?

How do they do that, draw lots and the loser gets him?

[Recon Dad]

Chimo has got to his brain. Listen to T.O. for 5 minutes, watch his on field antics or how he has torn a team hoping to go back to the Super Bowl apart and you know why he's not playing.

Of course I have known some Eagles fans and they lack any sanity of any kind when it comes to discussing the Eagles.

[fish hawk]

Can you say, "black list" while talking about a Negro?

[siunevada]

And I believe a man or a woman has a right to undertake his profession, or his sport, or his activities.

Well, he undertook it and he screwed it up to no real fan's surprise, Arlen.

Arlen and T.O - why does 'Screw the Team' come to mind so easily for either one of them?

[dead]

I believe a man or a woman has a right to undertake his profession, or his sport, or his activities. And I believe that they blacklisted him from football.
