rmackman Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Some things just make no sense:http://www.sportingnews.com/blog/the_sport...tor_on_bs_titleCLICK THE LINK TO WATCH THE VIDEORep. Brown Gradulates Gator on BS TitleMonday, March 16, 2009Posted By Spencer Hall 3:10 PMUnited States Representative Corrine Brown, your magnificently garbled tribute to Florida's BS title is better than any illegal drug I may or may not have taken, since I have no idea where I am after a single listen, no longer can speak, and am indeed shaken for the future of both our nation and for humanity as a whole. Watch, and do not operate heavy machinery or fly a commercial airplane for at least two hours afterwards. Where to begin: first there's the robe, some kind of Druidic orange and blue sacrificial cowl I've never seen in the Florida bookstore that she wore just for the occasion of stabbing the English language in the chest in just three minutes of speech. Then she "gradulates" the "Gator" on their national championship, especially "Curch Urban Meyers" and "Percy Harvey," who played "gustily." Everyone showed good "sportmanship," though, and then she ends with an incomprehensible Gator cheer I believe she improvised on the spot. Ms. Brown, to paraphrase a man far more eloquent than me: what I just heard was one of the most insanely idiotic things I've ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything considered a rational thought. Everyone in that room is now dumber for hearing it. I award you no points, and may god have mercy on your soul. (Video via Friends of the Program) "Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be eaten. Every morning in Africa, a lion wakes up. It knows it must outrun the slowest gazelle or it will starve. It doesn't matter whether you're a lion or a gazelle. When the sun comes up, you'd better be running." - Unknown | Check out my articles on jerseys at Bacon Sports Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charger77 Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Good usage of Congressional time.

charger77 Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 I work for a college and part of my job is to give presentations to H.S. classes on careers and how to choose a college. Lately, I've been working with a lot of English teachers that speak as bad as if not worse than that Congressman.-Dan PotD May 11th, 2011looooooogodud: June 7th 2010 - July 5th 2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Admiral Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Elected officials pretending to care about sports is nothing new. I'd be more worried about a congressman with an encyclopedic knowledge of the New York Islanders than a congressman who mispronounced Clark Gillies's name, for example. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainmaker17 Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Didn't John Kerry, during his campaign, request swiss on his cheesesteak? I live a million miles from Philly and even I know that won't fly with the locals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jigga Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 So this politician gets panned for not knowing about sports, but Prez Obama gets flak for doing some brackets. Not to go all Milo on that ass, but pick a lane, people! I'm picking panning for not knowing , for the record. Regarding Kerry, if I'm paying for it, I can ask for whatever the I want on my cheesesteak. Doesn't mean I'll get it, but still...

mjrbaseball Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 The way I see it, if you're a politico, don't pretend. Be honest. If you're a sports fan like Obama, then by all means fill out your bracket just like you always have. If you don't know sports or don't like sports, admit it -- there's no shame in that, either. Just give the team a hearty congratulations for their accomplishment, and don't embellish.Regardless of his politics, I always respected NYC mayor Rudy Giuliani for being an unabashed Yankees fan. He recognized, even during the Subway Series, that pretending to back both the Yankees and Mets would alienate more people than it would gain. If your a Yankees fan in New York, you hate the Mets, and vice versa. Fans of the other team won't like you, but they'll respect your loyalty.
