#ArlenSpecter — I solved #JFK case, I'll solve #NFL lockout

Actually, other than the Warren Commission getting the first and second shots of Lee Harvey Oswald's backward, and that thanks in fair part to John Connelly, it overall did a good job on Jack Kennedy's assassination.

That said, Arlen Specter rode his work as legal counsel to the commission to a 40-year political career and never stopped reminding us of it.

So, now when he wants the same Congress that got involved with MLB steroids to the laughability of Sammy Sosa forgetting English, Roger Clemens allegedly perjuring himself and Raffy Palmeiro doing so in spirit, to now "solve" the NFL lockout?

Can you say "three-ring circus"? Can you also say "lobbying extravaganza in the wings"? Can you say "lawsuit," Mr. Warren Commission lawyer?

That said, the comic value of Jethro Jerry Jones testifying before Congress could make this all kind of worth it, you know?

And, what the hell, Arlen? Why don't you hitch your wagon to that of Orrin Hatch and get Congress involved with the BCS shutting out non-Big Six conferences? We could have liars from Ohio State join those from the NFL. Maybe Jim Tressel could forget English along with Slammin' Sammy.
