Two Finger Tester and his colleagues will have to pay for tickets now
2007-01-14 22:30
by Bob Timmermann

According to a USA Today article, members of the U.S. Senate will be prohibited from accepting free tickets to sporting events, if an ethics rule that is being proposed passes that matches a House of Representatives rule.

So Jon "Two Finger" Tester and his 99 colleagues in the Senate will have to pay to go see the Nationals. Personally, I think that anyone paying to see the Nationals in 2007 should be subject to an investigation by Congress.

It's not "investigation" Bob. It's "oversight"

Senate baseball oversight.

And for a brief, fleeting moment, I thought Bob had given in and posted about the Phillies signing Antonio Alfonseca...

Nobody uses the term "investigation." It tracks poorly in focus groups.

Hey may just be a rookie Senator, but our boy Tester throws a heckuva splitter.

I declare an exemption for any tourists visiting DC during the 2007 season.

I believe the Utah senators are getting a rider on a bill to achieve that.

Would that rider include locals who pay the Nationals to see visiting teams?

That will be decided on a case-by-case basis. There are forms you have to fill out upon entering RFK.

Question 1:
Are you now, or have you ever been a fan of Frank Robinson?
