Won't they leave anything alone?

This is why I hate politicians. There is nothing beyond their self absorbed sphere of influence. Now they want to micromanage college football.

First the Democrats:

The Obama administration is considering several steps that would review the legality of the controversial Bowl Championship Series, the Justice Department said in a letter Friday to a senator who had asked for an antitrust review.

And why are the Dems investigating college football? Because a Republican demanded they do so:

In the letter to Sen. Orrin Hatch, obtained by The Associated Press, Assistant Attorney General Ronald Weich wrote that the Justice Department is reviewing Hatch's request and other materials to determine whether to open an investigation into whether the BCS violates antitrust laws.

With all the crap we are dealing with in this country, from health care to war to terrorist trials, it is appalling that these tools on both sides of the aisle are expending even a moment of their time worrying about college football.
