I’ve written before on the intersection of politics and sport, particularly the Redskins and politics. The current debate over the stimulus bill (read spending bill) has provided another little Redskins-politics tidbit.

Looks like Heath Shuler has wrought more than just the wrath of Redskins fans. According to the AP Shuler, now a Democratic congressman from North Carolina, said that on pursuing bipartisanship, “House leadership and Senate leadership have really failed,"--A straight shot at Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi.

For the non-politcos, Shuler is a conservative “Blue Dog Democrat”, not your garden variety liberal. Blue Dogs cling to their sky god and bang sticks.

Harry Reid’s PR man, the aptly named Jim Dexter Manley—ok I made up the middle name—responded:

“Let me get this straight - this is coming from a guy who threw more than twice as many interceptions than touchdowns?”

Ouch!

Still, I think Shuler will fare better against Reid and Pelosi, after all its not like they are Charles Haley and Leon Lett.
