We haven’t yet met, but I’m starting to count on finnslig01 to give any potentially political statement its fair counterpoint. So let’s see if this one passes muster.
Ari Fleischer, President George W. Bush’s one-time White House Press Secretary, has a new job: defending the BCS. New BCS executive director Bill Hancock hired Fleischer’s communications firm this weekend. Fleischer will get to fight Democrats (President Barack Obama) and Republicans (Senator Orrin Hatch) alike on this one, but he is indeed a political insider. And he does have solid experience defending the further amassing of power for the already powerful.

Well we certainly don’t want anyone “defending the further amassing of power for the already powerful” so what is needed here is a quintessential whistle-blower that will speak truth to power. I nominate James O’Keefe and Hannah Giles, the undercover journalists that exposed the corruption of ACORN, president Obama’s former organization (it doesn’t get more powerful than the president of the Unites States) to go undercover and secretly tape the machinations of the BCS as they scheme to consolidate power while disenfranchising the wretched unwashed masses. On the other hand, competition and achievement are such quaint old world notions, so why bother even keeping score. In a modern liberal world where every kid gets a trophy and teacher’s are banned from using red grading markers so as not to damage the child’s self-esteem, why don’t we just crown all 119 NCAA D1 teams BCS co-champions!
