New GOP Beneficiary: T.O.

Not since the man who goes by the plausible nickname of The King of the Streets praised the embattled official whose title is President of the United States — and that was yesterday — has there been an equally strange link between a Republican and a controversial non-political personage. In BlogPulse's no. 29 top link today, Pennsylvania Sen. Arlen Spector, who you might remember from his magic bullet theory, said he believes the Philadelphia Eagles dealt their controversial star Terrell Owens a raw deal. Because he dared speak his mind (and, sure, get in a fight with his teammates) Owens was barred from playing for the rest of the season, and the squad is also keeping him from playing for some other team somewhere. Not cricket, said Spector, and just for good measure said the Eagles decision might violate antitrust laws. 50 Cent and Bush? T.O. and Spector? What's next? Will US. Sen. Sam Brownback (R-Kan.) appear on TV and announce that he believes No Limit rapper C-Murder was wrongly convicted of his infamous nightclub shooting? Well, you've got to admit, that'd be pretty weird.
