Pennsylvania: Political Shenanigans At Its Finest

My weekly dose of satire is up at Family Security Matters. I cannot confirm or deny its humor factor, since the wife's water broke while I was writing it. Then, the next day, I finished composing this piece while exhausted. I'll let you good folks decide if it's any good. Here's a sample: It has been an interesting week in Pennsylvania politics. First, Republican Senator Arlen Specter spent our hard-earned dollars investigating the accusation that the New England Patriots have been videotaping football games. Apparently, head coach Bill Belichick did not get express written permission from the NFL and/or the major networks when they did so. The punishment for a first infraction is a football to the groin. Who knew anyone enforced that rule? The 37-term senator told reporters, "We have a right to have honest football games.” If only we had the right to honest octogenarian senators. Then, Pennsylvania’s Democrat Governor Ed Rendell announced that his conservative electorate is comprised of backwoods racists and bigots who would rather make a love connection with Ruth Bader Ginsburg than vote for Barack Obama. Rendell, who is Jewish, must have been paying more attention to his fourth trip to the buffet table instead of the election results when Pennsylvania citizens elected him, a New York carpetbagger, to office four times. Rendell, a graduate of Foot-In-Mouth University (Go Fighting Toe Jams!), said this to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: “You’ve got conservative whites here, and I think there are some whites who are probably not ready to vote for an African-American candidate.” You can read the rest of the article HERE.
