Stupid Republicans
My eyes almost popped out of my head when I caught this news item. Republicans have been disappointing enough since January, but evidently Republican House Member Tom Davis has threatened Major League Baseball, implying that retribution might await MLB if political foe George Soros is permitted to buy the Washington Nationals (Soros is apparently interested). Reports the USA Today:
"I think Major League Baseball understands the stakes," House Government Reform chairman Tom Davis, R-Va., told Roll Call.
"I don't think they want to get involved in the political fights."
Davis, who convened the recent congressional hearings on steroids, added, "I don't think it's the Nats that get hurt. I think it's Major League Baseball that gets hurt. They enjoy all sorts of exemptions from antitrust laws."
This is government at its worst - unadulterated abuse of power. For shame, Tom Davis. Readers, please contact this idiot (email)(info below the fold).
UPDATE - I contacted Tom Davis' office - a staffer seemed clueless, and I was transferred to the press office to be informally told there was no official comment from Davis. Yawn.
