Don't you understand that this is an issue of such transcendent importance that you should have acted months ago?
Funny. I'd say the same thing about securing the levees in New Orleans. Or perhaps ensuring that important government posts are filled with competent people. Or, you know, exercising oversight power over the President's use of the military. I sure as hell wouldn't say that about an entertainment option that no one is obliged to support at the federal level. (Yes, of course, sports teams do extort awful sums of money from state and local governments...)
I love baseball, but this is not an issue of "transcendent importance." Vast swaths of America couldn't give a crap, especially when so much of the focus was the integrity of the game as opposed to "think of the children" which at least you can squint your eyes and justify.

When he said "transcendent importance", was he talking to other legislators, or was he talking to Fehr/Selig? Because it's overblown crap if it's in a discussion with other legislators, but it's probably right if it's directed to TPTB in baseball. I have no idea of the context.
