We all know that Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger has had his share of bad press during the offseason.  Actually, it all started at the beginning of the 2009 regular season where a woman claimed the NFL star assaulted her in a Lake Tahoe hotel room.

Now a Congressman familiar with the Steelers has come out blasting Roethlisberger.

From TMZ.com:

A respected member of the House of Representatives is finally taking a stand on an issue affecting the American people -- he thinks Ben Roethlisberger is an "idiot."

The Congressman making the statement is Rep. Tom Rooney (R -FL) -- who also happens to be the grandson of legendary Pittsburgh Steelers founder Art Rooney.

During a recent stop at a Florida high school, Tom was asked about his favorite football team -- to which he replied, "The Steelers, I have no choice ... but our quarterback is still an idiot."

How's that for politically correct?
