Nor, sometimes, does grandstanding, depending on how you look at it.
The Politico chides Rep. Alan Mollohan, D-1st, for sponsoring a successful resolution "Commending the West Virginia University Mountaineer football team for exemplifying the pride, determination, and spirit of the Mountain State and overcoming adversity with skill, commitment, and teamwork to win the 2008 Tostitos Fiesta Bowl."
The Politico offers Virginia Tech as a stronger candidate for the adversity-beating mantle:
Virginia Tech came back and almost won the national championship this season. West Virginia, meanwhile, choked horribly in a Dec. 1 loss to the Pittsburgh Panthers. which cost the Mountaineers a chance to play for a national championship. Not good.MetroNews also noted the resolution, whose 34 co-sponsors include Reps. Shelley Moore Capito, R-2nd, and Nick Rahall, D-3rd.So if WVU, which is a great school with a great football program, deserves a resolution honoring it's bowl victory, let the House also pass resolutions honoring the other 30 bowl champions. Fair is fair.

Same stupid blog that condemned Catholic Schools Week....
How about Congress stop wasting its time and our money with meaningless resolutions in the first place? Not like there aren't things that actually need done in this country.
Keep in mind that Mollohan doesn't exactly have the best reputation in DC, so many Washington journalists will treat just about anything that he does, including choosing Thai over Indian for lunch, with suspicion.
