Another colossal waste of the Senate's time???

The New York Times has reported that Senator Arlen Specter, the head of the Senate Judiciary Committee, wants the N.F.L. Commissioner to meet with him and then testify before the committee on the reasons for having destroyed the tapes from its investigation into spying by the New England Patriots.

Even though America's greatest collective addiction is watching the annual superbowl, and both the Giants and the Patriots have the loyalest fans in the world, idiocies like this are really upsetting. The Senate has real issues before it - issues like war, the looming recession, unemployment, a country adrift in a moral morass, and THIS is what Senator Arlen Specter wants to waste valuable Senate Judiciary Committee time with???? This is a matter for the football commissioner and, if a crime needs to be investigated, the appropriate local police agencies, or perhaps even the FBI. But the United States Senate? It's utterly absurd! What do YOU think about this?
