The Important Issues

At least no one can say that Congress isn’t hard at work trying to sort out the important issues in America. ESPN:

Uniforms for U.S. Olympic athletes are American red, white and blue — but made in China. That has members of Congress fuming.

Republicans and Democrats railed Thursday about the U.S. Olympic Committee’s decision to dress the U.S. team in Chinese manufactured berets, blazers and pants while the American textile industry struggles economically with many U.S. workers desperate for jobs.

Congress is in an uproar because Team USA’s uniforms were made in China at a time when the American textile industry is struggling economically.

“I am so upset. I think the Olympic committee should be ashamed of themselves. I think they should be embarrassed. I think they should take all the uniforms, put them in a big pile and burn them and start all over again,” Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., told reporters at a Capitol Hill news conference on taxes.

Is anything more mind numbing than knowing that our elected “leaders” are more concerned with where some fucking uniforms were made than they are about passing a goddamn budget?
