The economy has gone to crap. Our foreign policy is a disaster. So what is the House of Representatives doing to make the US of A a better place? Honoring wrestling legend Ric Flair, stupid!
Congresswoman Sue Myrick took the floor and duly noted that the Nature Boy won the championship title a record 16 times. Did anyone tell this chick it's fake? Watch the heartfelt tribute -- then gag.

6. Maybe she was just honoring a home town boy. The fact that he won the title 16 times only means that he is good at what he does and is a great perfomer and audience draw. It's about the numbers. People love to see Rick get the title only to have it taken away again. It's called show business. No more real than what TMZ does. It's just entertainment. Yes our economy has gone to crap and foreign policy is a disaster but TMZ being critical of celebrities and personallities doesn't fix it does it? It's entertainment, get over it. I was involved in the industry for 14 years and one of the best things I heard Fritz Von Erich tell a media group "don't come out to be a critic, come out to be entertained and you will be."

7. Unkibill..........agreed but for clarification I was referring to the members of congress when I stated my embarassment for them being paid. Entertainers and athletes are performing for our amusement whereas congress is paid to do a job to better our country, a job which they are failing miserably at.

8. Our congress~Are they working to fix our economy?Are they trying to assure quality health care for all Americans? Are they atempting to repair any of the damage that the Bush adminastration has inflicked on America and the world?NOOOOO... This witch should be run out of congress and never allowed to hold a public office again.(and that is the clean version of what I really feel.) OH and by the way~HILLARY can fix whats broken in America.

10. I had a daughter wrestler (from years 5-12). I met Rick Flair at wrestling tournments where his son was wrestling. He was mean to little kids, his own son, and everyone else. When REAL wrestlers (men who wrestled through out their elementary through high school) would confront him for being rude to their children, he backed down like a little wimp. REAL WRESTLING coaches, that gave up their careers and college educations for their familes need to be honored. Not this peice of trash.

11. EX-President Carter Meeting with Hamas and placing a Wreath at Arafat's Mausoleum is alot more disgraceful then what Rep Sue Myrick is doing.

12. Unkil Bill.....i agree with your comments, too, however,...i think Fritz Von Erich is a bad example....
How much pressure, could he have put on the boys for them to commit Suicide !!! (Except David, who died "mysteriously" in Japan). Like him or not, I think Terry Bollea put professional wrestling on the map. Ric Flair, was a TRUE professional wrestler/entertainer, but Hulk/Vince put it on the map.
just my opinion
