Connecticut lawmaker computer views Andy Pettitte pitch during House session-photo

Lawmakers on left are playing solitaire during Monday 8/31 session. On right, computer screen shows a lefthanded pitcher in what appears to be a Yankee cap and the dark sleeved shirt Pettitte wore under his road gray uniform Monday night in Baltimore. Caption from AP photo in Hartford Courant:

• "House Minority Leader Lawrence F. Cafero Jr., R-Norwalk, far right, speaks while colleagues play solitaire on their computers as the House convenes to vote on a new budget for the fiscal year in the Capitol on Monday."

The Hartford Courant article does not mention the Yankee game clearly in view. Commenters weren't so easily dismissed:

• "By rich on September 1, 2009 10:11 PM

What about the other computer that appears to be checking out Andy Pettite of the Yankees who was pitching a perfect game last night.

Makes sense that a Yankee fan would be screwing off at work!"...
