Joe Barton

The Congressman who sponsored the ridiculous legislation to regulate the BCS national championship made this speech on the floor of the House regarding health care. It is both hilarious and infuriating in light of his NCAA football power grab.

Among his best lines are: "we don't believe in mandates", "we believe in individual choice", "we believe in the American system of free enterprise", and "I vote for more freedom".

If you really believe these things, then why in the world are you meddling in the affairs of the NCAA? I didn't realize Congress had the authority to regulate the use of the term "National Champion". If you don't like it, then exercise some freedom and don't watch it.
