Vince McMahon Draws Skips Congressional Committee Meeting



Curiously, billionaire "sports entertainment" shlockmeister Vince McMahon skipped a congressional committee meeeting presumably because he didn't want to ruin the media buzz of his new deal providing Lowest Common Denominator fare to NewsCorp's MyNetworkTV. Charmed, I'm sure (Averted Gaze). From TheHill:

"World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) Chairman Vince McMahon incurred the anger of a congressional committee chairman Wednesday by skipping the panel’s hearing on performance-enhancing drugs in professional sports.

"Rep. Bobby Rush (D-Ill.), chairman of the House Energy and Commerce
Subcommittee on Commerce, Trade and Consumer Protection, said he was 'extremely disappointed' that McMahon declined to appear at a hearing discussing the use of performance-enhancing drugs in professional sports."
