But that isn't working quite so well now, hopefully. You've certainly put a big crimp in that con game in Ohio. (now all we need to do is get rid of Boehner) Right — that’s what they’re counting on.

But, so many entrenched members of Congress, that's all it takes to make headlines and fool the voters. Specter has been a grandstander of the first degree. All talk, no action.

And then -- right in character -- after he had milked his demand to investigate the NFL/Patriots case for all it was worth politically -- he then flip-flopped and took the position that congress should not investigate.

And frankly he gives me the creeps the way only people like Dick Cheney or Orrin Hatch can. I don't expect truth from politicians, but I would appreciate better acting from people who attempt to present themselves as things they are not. His low point for me was his campaign for a Senate investigation of the New England Patriots, ostensibly for the use of unsanctioned videotapes for game preparation but mostly, I think, because of the whooping they gave to the Philadelphia Eagles in the Super Bowl. To quote Dr. Thompson (who was speaking of someone else), "... he should be stuffed into a bottle and tossed out into the Japanese Current." He’s a doormat, plain and simple.
