They can get Huckabee as their spokeswoman. Though he’s fattened up a tad, so folks might mistake him for Rosanne.

I can actually remember Earl Campbell (rb houston oilers) doing Skoal commericals some time back. At the time, I wasn’t sure what he mean by ‘without lighting up.”

I hate chew. I detest it. I cannot stand it. It is dirty. It is disgusting. I have put my fingers in that brown spit and taken a mouthful of it by accident.

BUT DON’T THESE ASSHATS HAVE ANYTHING ELSE TO DO?

It is CRAP like this that makes me wholeheartedly support THINGS I DETEST!

After the silly steroid trials held in congress which humiliated a few of the sports greats, I am sure the players will be a tad tough on this point.

Stupid Democrats...

Our nation is in one of the worst financial situations in our history, and all the Dems can do is keep sticking their noses in where they don't belong.

Get the government OUT of our personal business.

What Major League baseball players chew is none of the government's busness.

Our insane Senators passing insane laws while grabbing more and more goodies for themselves.

Ideas for NBL ‘Nanny Baseball League’.

Put the umpires in tutus.

Have a 4 run rule limit to each inning.

Mandate women are provided equal playing time.

Use a softer ball (someone might get hurt).

Ban hot dogs (promotes obesity).

Beer has to go (bad influence on minors).

above all - don’t keep score (someone might lose and have their feelings hurt).

Ban this, ban that. Mandate this and the other.

F off, Senator. Leave us the hell alone for once.

No I don’t have a dog in this particular fight. I’m just tired of having Americans lives being micromanaged from Washington DC.

They probably conducted a “scientific” study of the harmful effects of second hand spit.

No spit cups (especially the styrofoam ones).

Chewing sunflower seeds leads to unacceptable littering - straight out with that.

Chewing bubble gum is a bad example to the kids - think about the damage to their teeth! Banned also.

Swearing and cussing will lead to banishment from the game.

Rubber spikes only - that racist Ty Cobb used the metal ones to hurt people, others have done so as well.

Wooden bats shatter and can cause injury (especially those damn maple ones); aluminum bats are lethal weapons - but we’ll let you use wiffle ball bats (despite the evil petroleum-based plastic they’re made of).

Batters have died after being hit by pitched balls - tee-ball is good enough for the kids, surely professionals should be able to hit a ball off a tee.

Get to it, Senator Durbin - doubleplusgood job so far, but there’s so much more to do.

Ban the cretins Durbin and Lautenburg. They are “undoubtedly complicit” for the animals running around in liberal cities.

Smokin’ Dick Durbin and Fossil Laut really are on top of the major problems today. It probably doesn’t need to be mentioned that these ass-clowns who are so concerned about impressionable children are also pro-abortion.

As an aside, let’s get baseball teams with honest names, such as the DC MEDDLING DEMOCRATS!

Nanny State PING!

I guess any rise in teenage drinking can be attributed to the young folks copying their local congressman. Ban alcohol. (snicker)

Here’s the survey...of course they picked 2003, since it’s the lowest year (by far) out of all the other years, to base their increase use claim. If you look at all the numbers, you can see smokeless use decreased in the 90’s and stayed the same after that.

Let’s instead ban congress from regulating sports. If they have time for crap like this then they simply have too much time in session. Cut sessions to 30 days per year and cut their salary to match it.

Show me where in the Constitution the Senate has jurisdiction over Major League Baseball. If this is all they have to debate let’s disband Congress until there is some real work for them to do.
