Country going down the freakin tubes and this guy worries about sports????
Did I go to sleep and wake up in Rome in about 350 AD?
If Hatch went after 0bama half as much as he went after the BCS he might be a service to the country. As it is he is worthless.
Can't he see what is happening and what the mood is in the country?
Idiot.

A new conservative party can't come fast enough. One that doesn't have a place for out-of-touch dolts like Orrin Hatch.

Before we worry about college football, we need to go after that company that makes those little round urinal cakes. Talk about a monopoly.

He is only bringing this up because Utah went undefeated and did not make it to the BCS Championship Game.
To: zimfam007
Even if Hatch talks tough on cracking down on the BCS, on even this he will fold in the end.

"Country going down the freakin tubes and this guy worries about sports????" I agree. It's just like the idiotic hearings on the Hill about steroids in baseball. I'm sure Hatch is getting pressure from campaign donors that are also Utah Utes.
Iran and NK build their nuclear arsenals, and congress worries about college football.

Every country has it’s idols and priorities
America knows more about College Football than the Constitution and Economics.
At lest the Fall of the American Empire is being televised.

A friend of mine wrote to Hatch about Obama’s natural born status.
Hatch wrote back stating the Hawaiian officials had said that Obama was born in Hawaii.
The man is a completely ignorant idiot or deliberately lying.
