Arlen Specter is Embarrassing

As a brief break from the "HAY U GUISE I'M A REPORTER LOL" format I've been going with , this one has to come from the heart. I just heard Arlen Specter just wheeze on himself and contradict every previous sentence he said for about a half hour, and Jesus H. Christ.

Lets start by pointing out Specter was pissed Matt Walsh was never asked by the Commissioner about 2003, 2004, or 2005. WEEI's Michael Holley nailed this one before I even got my laptop open, so I'll use his line. "Theres a reason he didn't ask him about 2003 2004 or 2005. HE DIDN'T WORK THERE!"

As another WEEI mention, during the press conference there were calls to the station asking them if they were running one of their comedy bits. They thought it was a joke. Understandable. He sounded like a cross between Mister McGoo and Stan's grandfather in South Park that calls him "Billy".

He used the term "half back". What are we, running around in leather helmets with the goalposts in the front of the fucking endzone? Were you watching "the tapes" and wondering where Red Grange was? HALF BACK?

He responded to a question about why he wanted to continue dealing with Pittsburgh games after their head coach and owners of their franchise said it was over with "I have a different perspective than them". A stupid one! Pennsylvania, are you fucking kidding me? You've elected this guy for over 20 years? HE'S IN CHARGE OF STUFF THAT MATTERS!

I was legitimately disgusted watching this disgraceful press conference, but it has to be over now. He wants an "impartial investigation" to be put together, but as my faith in our government continues to decline, I still can't fathom this 200 year old idiot getting anyone to sign off on it. Theres questionable governmental spending, and then there's just outright giving the US citizens a big "fuck you".

This selective quotation, "fact" usage, and straight up intentional misrepresentation is deplorable. He calls Matt Walsh a credible witness, then when he says something that doesn't work into the agenda, he says he doesn't believe him. The most irrelevant, embarrassing, and utterly pointless press conference I've ever heard at any level.
