HOLY CRAP, Waxman just caught Clemens in a lie. Clemens said the conversation about HGH with Pettite was really about Clemens' wife's injections.
One problem: Pettite says that first conversation was in 1999 or 2000. Clemens' wife took the HGH in 2003. Unless Roger Clemens was able to see into the future, there was no way he was talking about his wife in 1999/2000. It hadn't happened yet. OUCH. | |

Also, Waxman shot a dagger right through Rusty Hardin's heart, when he talked about how much George Mitchell is universally respected, then said Hardin called Mitchell's report a piece of trash.
I suspect Hardin's hourly rate just went down quite a bit. | |

Here comes John Conyers. This ought to be VERY interesting.
<<<<< Conyers put Clemens in a box. Clemens testified that he and Pettite were so close that they would have talked to each other about drug use. But then Conyers pointed out that Clemens said he was "shocked" to find out Pettite had done HGH. So, as Conyers pointed out, Clemens' assertion that he and Pettite would have talked about taking drugs is, apparently, not accurate. [Edited 2/13/08 8:02am] | |

The key is going to be Debbie Clemens. It appears to be undisputed that Brian McNamee gave her HGH injections. The only thing in dispute is whether Roger Clemens knew about it beforehand or not.
So, the question is this: How did Debbie Clemens know to ask Brian McNamee for HGH? I think the answer is pretty obvious. | |

And HOW did Clemens find a Hispanic nanny whom he hadn't seen in almost 6 or 7 years? (I am assuming she's Hispanic because they said her English wasn't very good.)
And WHY did he interview her before giving her contact information to Congress? This looks bad. [Edited 2/13/08 10:25am] | |

They make millions because pro athletes have a unique skill, generate millions in revenue and put their bodies on the line(look at old football players). They're on the same level as rock stars & Hollywood actors, yet no one complains about Tom Cruise getting $20mil a film. Nothing wrong with making as much as you can in your chosen field. Supply & demand. | |

At times, Roger Clemens sounded like Miss South Carolina:

How about that Republican from Indiana that was kissing Clemens' ass. I thought the dude was going to fellate him.
It's so sickening listening to Yankee fans making excuses for Clemens, but Barry Bonds is the devil. | |

It's so sickening listening to Yankee fans making excuses for Clemens, but Barry Bonds is the devil. That was the infamous Dan Burton. That's who Waxman was apologizing to McNamee for at the end of the hearing. Dan Burton is a nutjob. From Time.com: Dan Burton thinks the White House bugs his phone. Dan Burton is so convinced Vince Foster was murdered that he brought a pistol into the backyard of his Indiana home and reenacted the crime -- reportedly with a pumpkin standing in for Foster's head. Dan Burton is so afraid of catching AIDS that he brings his own scissors to the House barbershop and refuses to eat soup at public restaurants.
And he's also a philanderer: INDIANAPOLIS (AllPolitics, Sept. 4) -- U.S. Rep. Dan Burton, who accused supporters of President Bill Clinton this week of disseminating information about Burton's personal life to discredit him, has acknowledged that he fathered a child out of wedlock during an extramarital affair in the early 1980s.
Burton, of Indiana, is the outspoken Republican chairman of the House Government Reform and Oversight Committee, which has been investigating allegations of fund-raising irregularities by the 1996 Clinton-Gore campaign. "I have apologized to my wife and family, whom I love. I apologize to my constituents," Burton said in a statement released Friday and reported in Saturday's editions of the Indianapolis Star. "We live in a society that rightfully depends upon people taking responsibility for their actions. I have done so in this matter." A spokesman for Burton's committee, Will Dwyer, said Burton made the admission to preempt rapidly surfacing reports of the affair. The congressman has been in Indiana for the past two days, meeting with the woman involved and their son. http://www.cnn.com/ALLPOL...index.html | |

I feel the same way....I especially loved the one senator who was calling McNamee a "drug dealer"....acting like he held Roger Dodger down and snuck him with the HGH/'roids.... He was like a cock who thought the sun had risen to hear him crow.

Ah, the good ol' boy network in full swing. Clemens gets pardoned, Andy Petite will get a standing ovation at Yankee Stadium, and Bonds will probably do time. | |

Assuming both men lied about the same thing, Bonds lied to a grand jury and Clemens lied to Congress. I can't see the distinction that would make Clemens pardonable and Bonds not. | |

You watch those hearings, and you see why nothing gets done in this country. With all the sh!t going on, this is what Congress is worried about???? We should all be embarrassed. | |

On the other hand, Nancy Pelosi put the kibosh on the proposed telecom-immunity bill while these hearings were going on, so the Rule of Law was saved. ANNNNND, the hearings took the nutjob that is Dan Burton off the House floor, so that is a BIG positive! | |

I just can't believe how dumb some of these baseball players are. Just fess up! There is no crime for doing roids, but it is illegal to lie about it under oath. | |

Honesty is the best policy. Never lie. They didn't get Al Capone for murder or bookmaking, they got him for lying about his taxes. | |
