C ... O ... N ... G ... R ... E ... S ... S ... CONGRESS!

Earlier this week, in my other blogosphere role, I went on a little bit of a rant about the Eagles chant. Well it seems that Representative Patrick Murphy is one Congressman who doesn't probably need to be told about the chant.

On Wednesday, the House considered a resolution to congratulate the (god damned) New York Giants on winning the Super Bowl. The resolution called their accomplishment "one of the most remarkable postseason runs in professional sports history." And these type of resolutions congratulating world championship teams usually pass unanimously -- for instance, that's what happened with the recent Senate resolution sucking the NY Giant's big blue cock.

But this House resolution? No unanimous. It passed, sure. But with a 412-to-1 vote.

The one "no" vote came from Representative Murphy, who said:

As a former 700-level security guard [at the sorely missed pit that was Veteran's Stadium] and lifelong Eagles fan, I couldn't, in good conscience, vote for the New York Giants. The only thing worse would have been a resolution honoring the Dallas Cowboys.

A-fucking-men, Congressman. Ladies and gentlemen, Representative Patrick Murphy -- truly the best Congressman ever.
