A Douche Against Dip: A Lot Like Jerry Springer, But With Less Dignity
Apparently taking to heart the concept of America spending its way out of recession, a NJ congressman is calling for a hearing regarding the use of tobacco Major League Baseball.
Rep. Frank Pallone (D-N.J.), who helms the energy and commerce health subcommittee, said that the practice provides a poor example to young people who are baseball fans.
The disastrous effect seeing a handful of athletes engage in a disgusting habit might have on America’s impressionable children aside, it’s not clear why the grandstanding representative thinks the government should have any say regarding the use of a legal product by adults.
Now it might be different if the baseball players drew their salaries from the public dime, like this guy:
No, I Said Barry BONDS Shouldn't Smoke.
Won’t Somebody Please Think Of The Children!?!: Congressman to hold hearing into baseball and chewing tobacco.
