Boortz fails to mention that this is being spearheaded by Republicans (those whose teams were excluded from the championship this year). It's kind of amusing because usually Republicans love monopolistic abuses.

Obama's involvement is limited to a comment he made during an interview during his campaign. I don't think Frank and Dodd are involved at all.

It's also rather strange that Boortz is suddenly somber over the plight of the victims of this crisis. This being the same guy who blamed the victims of a hurricane for what happened to them. Somehow, I have my doubts of his sincerity.

This is just the tip of the tip of the tip of the iceberg. Do you realize how much time they waste making blueberry the official flavor of the month of June. Congratulating the little league of Fargo, North Dakota on its win over the 5-year-olds in Podunk, North Dakota. Renaming the Post Office in Imaidiot, Somestate to honor Whatshis Face. The incredible stupidity goes on and on and on. AND WE PAY THEIR OVERBLOATED SALARIES to do it.

I suppose that's been pre-empted for the NCAA men's basketball tournament.

This is just another reason everyone in this administration, every dem in congress and every RINO needs to be thrown in prison.

Listened to some of "Mumbles" Frank's comments on the news earlier, and managed to decipher about every fifth word. How did someone so incoherent and incompetent get elected to public office? Whoops, sorry, I forgot, the dumb masses!

Copyleft....oh.....how can someone so mindlessly adore government? There are some corrupt and incompetent CEOs out there, but at least I am not forced to give them half of everything I earn like the greedy, corrupt, and incompetent babboons in the government (especially congress). The free market has a wonderful remedy for incompetence.... those businesses go under. Unfortunately, nothing can be done about the idiots in government. Clearly voting doesn't work....the idiots outnumber the smart voters.

And before you start whining about being forced to give them bailout money..... it's the very same idiots in government forcing you to do that. It's not the company CEOs themselves.

The sight of Barney Frank maybe disturbing, but not as bad as the sight of George W. Bush and his fellow anitregulation republicans that got us into this messin the first place.

They should also get around to selecting Oscar winners, American Idol winners, and judging of gymnastics and figure skating!

I still have both my jobs, but the mere sight (and sound) of Barney Frank would disgust me regardless of my financial situation.

Not to fear, though. Congress will get the BCS straightened out just as they have done with steroids in baseball...

Since the vast majority of what Congress does is actively harmful, shouldn't we be overjoyed that they are wasting time on trivial nonsense? If their attention is diverted to inconsequential trivia, then they aren't working on truly bad legislation.

Just another log added to the fire of hatred for all the (fillintheblank) in Congress. Can we create a punitive tax for the salaries of all federal politicians? I like the 90% mark we read about earlier this week!

I bow to your wisdom along with Abe Lincoln.

Speaking of college football in Congress......

Given the choice of waving a magic wand and having a group disappear from the face of the earth I would choose that for the Congress. I would keep the millionaires because generally they employ people and last I looked the fellow signing my paycheck was rich. I think we should build a wall around the District of Columbia with no doors.

As Abraham Lincoln once said, "The only time the country is safe is in the summer". "That's when congress is out of session"! For the government educated there was no summer session as there was no AC.

I do not pay my tax money for these morons to monitor sports!!!!!!!! I don't care who gets what money, it's sports, it's entertainment, it's not worth government involvement. I get crazy about the regulation of sports. For all I care, let them all take steroids!!!!!!! STAY OUT OF SPORTS.

Are they going to regulate contracts paid to Harrison Ford? Bruce Willis?

"fast track" health care reform.

debate how college football picks its #1 team.

Personally, I like option 3 ("move to adjourn")

Talk about your classic "fiddling while Rome burns"....

They have time to debate this but no time to actually read the biggest spending legislation ever passed....amazing.

Why is this even something for them to consider? I've written this comment several times as I am absolutely stumped by these people.

I truly wish one of them would walk up and justify Congress' time spent on this issue....but I'm more likely to have a unicorn delivered FedEx....
