Specter calling off the Dogs...

Senator Arlen Specter told the Philadelphia Daily News Monday that he has no plans to ask Congress to look into the Patriots' videotaping procedures. "I've gone as far as I can," Specter said. Specter’s fellow senators gave little or no support concerning the investigation of the NFL and the New England Patriots. Some even criticized him, including Ted Kennedy, for focusing on the issue at a time when there are greater issues concerning Americans.

“With the war in Iraq raging on, gasoline prices closing in on $4 a gallon, and Americans losing their homes at record rates to foreclosure, the United States Senate should be focusing on the real problems that Americans are struggling with. I’m looking forward to another great Patriots season where they can let their play on the field speak for itself.” -- Senator Edward Kennedy (D-Massachusetts)

Note: Kennedy and Specter sit together on the 19-member Senate Judiciary Committee.

You cannot fault Specter for trying. If it wasn’t for him, most of the facts we currently know would never had come out.
