July 9 - Pet Peeve Monday - Do Nothing Congress
This week’s PET PEEVE MONDAY is about Congress again. They continue to not only under perform, but to shock me with their incompetence and lack of focus.
This Congress has not only NOT kept their eyes on the ball, their BALL WAS LOST.
Here are some of the latest transgressions.
They vote to investigate Congressman Jefferson (D-LA). Jefferson has been indicted for accepting $100K in bribes. Ninety thousand of which was found in his freezer.
Hey Congress, he has been investigated and charged by professionals, why do you need to investigate?
When the CSI sleuths solve a mystery murder, no one questions the experts. The guys from that Earl show don’t crossover to CBS to re-investigate. Congress, focus on YOUR job.
Congress has also been busy debating and voting on non-binding resolution. They don’t support the Troop Surge, they don’t like Attorney General Gonzales.
Hey Congress, if it’s NON-BINDING, why bother? I wouldn’t set up a hot dog stand at a Vegan Conference. You know why? Because it would be as much of a waste of time as these NON-BINDING RESOLUTIONS.
Congress’s approval ratings are even lower than President Bush. There is a reason. They haven’t DONE ANYTHING POSITIVE or to move the Ball forward. Again, lost ball, no movement. Congress, find your ball.
Where are we on Immigration Reform, Alternative Fuel Sources, Budget Deficit Reduction, or College Tuition Increase Caps?
This past week, Congressman John Conyers (D-MI) announced that he wants to spend time investigating President Bush’s commutation of Scooter Libby’s 30-month prison sentence.
Maybe Conyers is only trying to deflect attention from the current investigation into his own ethics, or lack there of.
Conyers is accused of repeatedly violating House ethics rules. His aides allege that Conyers used his staff to work on several local and state campaigns and forced them to baby-sit and chauffeur his children. Hell, if free childcare is an option, maybe I should run for office.
Hey Congress, I would like to let you in on secret. Bush is the President, he’s allowed to not only commute sentence, but he can grant pardons. It’s right there in the Constitution. You live in Washington; there should be a copy of the Constitution around somewhere.
Maybe if you find the Constitution, you might find YOUR MISSING BALL as well.

Did You mean "find your balls," plural?
Congress hasn't had any in a while.
Fred Thompson was smart to get out early.
