Story So Nice, We’re Running it Twice

I said it yesterday, but I really think it bears repeating.  Phil Specter has declared publicly that there will be no investigation into the Spygate scandal by Congress.  My favorite part about the whole thing is Specter’s reasoning, which is basically that Congress now has bigger fish to fry.  Actually, that’s my second favorite part of the story.  My favorite favorite part of the story is the fact that this should put an end to any and all Spygate conversation, at least for a little while.  Specter was pretty much the only person who still cared about the issue, and now even he seems over it.

My question for Specter is simple: At what point did the Senate have enough time to discuss this issue?  As far as I can tell, not much has changed since Specter started tooting his horn about what a big deal Spygate was, and how it merited a Senate investigation a la MLB and steroids.  He was as wrong then as he is now, and I for one am glad Specter has seen the error of his ways.  To compare the Spygate scandal to the steroid era in baseball is gross and dangerous hyperbole.  It’s very good, for everyone involved, that Specter backed off this witch hunt.
