citizens of good will have looked to Pennsylvania Senator Arlen Specter to protect their constitutional rights in this age of terrorism and extreme rendition. The results of his lonely watch on the battlements of freedom are clear and obvious; the American people now totter on the brink of becoming Czarist peonage.
On almost any critical issue of civil liberties you care to name, Arlen Specter roared his defiance in front of the press corps and proceeded to get beaten like a red headed step child by the Bush White House.
With both eyes blackened, his nose broken and two big boot prints on the seat of his pants, Specter would go whimpering and snarling back into the senate cloak room like a local jobber who just got whipped by a WWE headliner.
And this went on for years, Guantanamo Bay, secret CIA torture facilities overseas, extensive Federal use of wire-tapping, the de factor suspension of the right of habeas corpus, the right of counsel to those accused of terrorism, military tribunals...and every time Arlen got jacked up and beat down.
So the notion that somehow now, Arlen Specter is gonna investigate the Patriots' alleged spying on a rival team's signals, is nothing short of grimly hilarious.
With Arlen Specter on the job we can look forward to the Patriots to the use of clubs and bicycle chains out on the field sans reproof.
Honestly, the NFL can breath a sigh of relief and look forward to fresh outrages, Arlen Specter could quite simply screw up a two car funeral....they have nothing to fear from him.
