I lost 15 minutes, and I will never get it back

Thanks for nothing George Mitchell.

With the chance to elaborate during the congressional meetings about what he wrote in the now infamous Mitchell Report, Curious George choose to say… nothing.

Every question he was asked, was followed by something along the lines of, “everything I wrote in the report is what I know.” In other words: No comment. No comment. No comment.

I really wish I hadn’t watched for a minute, let alone 15. Believing we might actually get some in-depth analysis on the issues at hand was beginning to get remotely exciting. And you know what they say: “If it’s too good to be true, then it probably is.”

Amazing too.  The guy writes a massive report, but ask him to give you a few more details on something, and that’s just too much to ask.  What can 50 million dollars and two years get for you?  Apparently when it comes to going into more detail, not a whole lot else.

Mitchell did however offer up a great few minutes that I should have recorded. To uh, help me fall asleep incase I ever need the amo of boring myself to tears.

There was such fluff in the hearings today, that there is absolutley nothing new to report.

Things like, o, steroids are still an issue in baseball came up again. (Really? You mean, it didn’t just disappear from the face of the Earth? Shocking!)

Thinks like, o, the past is the past came up again. (How do you alter an issue that happened in the past, if you refuse to admit that we still need to talk about the past).

So, what’s this all mean? Well, Roger Clemens and his former trainer better put on a good show at the next Congressional hearings. Because as one columnist pointed out on Jim Rome is Burning, “It’s not like we have wars, poverty, or other important issues in this country to be worrying about or nothing.”

What a waste of my time and yours…
