The Washington Times reports on the blow back from fans:
Stock-car racing fans filled Lowe's Motor Speedway in North Carolina yesterday, erasing concerns that a political dispute in Washington had erupted into a full-scale health scare at NASCAR events.
Democratic House staffers, who were attending the Bank of America 500 race as part of a fact-finding mission of health and homeland security issues, took the unusual step of getting inoculated against several rare diseases and a sexually transmitted illness.
The part about STDs is particularly interesting. What do Democrat House staffers have in common with UN peacekeeping troops who exploit third world women?
One blogger at www.nascar.com called the story "hilarious." A Washington Times reader wrote: "No wonder they feel we need all these government programs ... they think America is Third World."
NASCAR driver Jimmy Spencer said
"The fans I've talked to are really bothered by this. I can't believe someone would bring us into the mix," Mr. Spencer said. "What is their point? What are they looking for? Why did they even bring this up? It's not a problem, never has been a problem in the history of NASCAR.
