Stabenow Thinks Levin Needs to Get on the Ball

Sen. Carl Levin generally does a good job of keeping his eye on the ball, but Sen. Debbie Stabenow thinks he needs to get ON the ball.

According to an item in The Hill website, Stabenow bought Michigan's senior Democratic senator an exercise ball for his 73rd birthday.

According to The Hill:

"Stabenow spokesman Brent Colburn said Levin was in the Stabenow office discussing legislative matters when he asked to borrow Legislative Director Amanda Renteria’s phone. Renteria had traded in her chair for an exercise ball to improve her core strength and posture, and Levin was fascinated.

"'He sat down on it, and he liked it,' Colburn explained.

"So now he has one of his very own. But a spokeswoman for Levin said he is 'a little busy this week,' and she was unlikely to find out whether he has been using the ball.

"Well, we’ve got an eye on you, Senator Levin. You may be able to hide your exercise ball, but you can’t hide your ramrod posture and abs of steel."

Levin will need abs of steel to budge the Bush administration from its foolish Iraq policy.
