Governmental Fluff.

One word. CSPAN. Seriously, do you think 90 percent of the grandstanding that we see on TV would ever exist in the absence of a camera? Would the silly steroid baseball hearings have ever taken place without a primetime audience? Would Ted Kennedy and Diane Feinsteins ever have joined forces to ramshackle Judge Alito in the Senate confirmation hearings?

I say take away their expense accounts, take away the cameras and don't let them come out until they've reached bi-parisan answers to terror, Social security and illeagal immigration.
