Wow! I’m glad I watched the video as I was going respond only to the title thread with MLB as my favorite sport. Not the NFL nor the NBA. But the Video put the skids to that. All I can say is Wow. I find the video hard to believe. He did say the 435 members of congress which is the House by itself. The senate isn’t included. Is this True? From the reaction of the audience, they were as shocked as I. Left speechless.

In fact, given that this was done in 1999, those numbers might actually be higher now even though they may have been overdone that year. Nonetheless, here are true and VERIFIED facts that do give support to this video:
