U.S. Sen. Arlen Specter, R-Pa., was all over the airwaves Sunday, demanding an investigation into allegations that the New England Patriot cheated by videotaping opposing teams to steal signals and such.

Arlen wanted to know why the NFL destroyed the materials handed over by the Patriots when the league investigating what's been dubbed "Spygate."

Glad to hear it, Arlen.

But as a big wig on the Senate Judiciary Committee, wouldn't it a little more important to get to the bottom of the CIA destroying tapes of torture. Or perhaps investigating the Bush Administration's spy program, that may have violated the law, if not the Constitution. Or perhaps his committee should be figuring out what's going on the Justice Department and the administration's efforts to turn it into a faith-based arm of the Republican party.

You know, Arlen, it's all well and good that you want to delve into this area. But hey, there are some other things that may be a bit more important that whether the New England Patriots are a bunch of cheaters.
