damnit... I missed 2039220942094 minutes of Waxman's GLORIOUS bald head???
what a shame...
it was on espn news all day...
and it was actually much better than i ever expected..
i hate baseball, i hate roger clemens, and i think everybody should be allowed to use steroids so this entire thing shouldnt give with me...
but since its moved past all those hates and into congress and two dudes saying totally opposites and the real reality that clemons can go to jail got me somewhat interested in it...
colin cowheard had a great full show on it today...
clemons was quoted several times eating his own words... he's done...
now we just need to get barry bonds on a team... the Rays maybe??
From the little that I watched this is what I observed:
* Democrats don't believe Clemens
* Republicans don't believe McNamee
* Clemens believes Andy Pettite is a honest guy who has a problem with his hearing
* Everyone wants to know if the nanny was there at Jose Canseco's BBQ party in 1998
My question is:
Is that nanny hot? 
I like how Brian McNamee sorta resemles shamez
Shamez
v.
McNamee
I thought the whole ordeal was pretty hilarious - it was on in the bar/restaurant in the union all day today, so I caught about an hour or two of it and the only real impression I got was that even though everyone acknowledges McNamee is a liar, it's become pretty clear the only time he lied was to try and protect Clemens.
Clemens (and his wife) just looked like a completely inept cunt today.
I also thought it was funny how many congressman made comments about how absurd it was they were even meeting over this issue. Too fucking right. 
Rewatching this footage (specifically of Clemens trying to claim Pettite "misheard" him) is comic gold.
Clemens is fucked. Straight up.
I just LOVED how McNamee got right to the point

| Will Bush pardon Clemens? McNamee's lawyer says prez will let Rocket off hook WASHINGTON (AP) -- One of Brian McNamee's lawyers predicted that if Roger Clemens is convicted in connection with the baseball steroids scandal, he'd be pardoned by President Bush. Lawyer Richard Emery also said some Republicans treated his client harshly because of the pitcher's friendship with the Bush family. Emery made the claims Thursday, a day after a congressional hearing broke down along party lines. Many Democrats were skeptical of Clemens' denials he used performance-enhancing drugs and Republicans questioned the character of McNamee, the personal trainer who made the accusations against the seven-time Cy Young Award winner. "It would be the easiest thing in the world for George W. Bush, given the corrupt proclivities of his administration, to say Roger Clemens is an American hero, Roger Clemens helped children," Emery said in a telephone interview. "It's my belief they have some reason to believe they can get a pardon." During Wednesday's session before the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, Clemens repeated his denials under oath, which could lead to criminal charges if federal prosecutors conclude he made false statements or obstructed Congress. "I'm not aware of Mr. Clemens having been charged with anything," White House deputy press secretary Tony Fratto said after being told of Emery's remarks. Emery cited Bush's decision last year to commute the 21/2-year prison sentence of I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, his vice president's former top aide. Libby was convicted in the case of the leaked identity of a CIA operative. During the hearing, Clemens cited his friendship with Bush's father, President George H.W. Bush, a baseball fan who regularly attends Houston Astros' games. Clemens said he was on a recent hunting trip when the elder Bush called with words of support. "When all this happened, the former president of the United States found me in a deer blind in south Texas and expressed his concerns that this was unbelievable, and stay strong and hold your head up high," Clemens testified. Emery said as he thought about the testimony overnight, Clemens' reference to the call from the elder Bush convinced him the questioning by Republicans was a concerted effort. "All the pieces fell into place given his friendship, his personal friendship with the Bush family," Emery said. "They have some belief that even if he's prosecuted, he will never have to serve jail time or face a trail. This is a charade we're going through." IRS Special Agent Jeff Novitzky attended the hearing and watched from the second row. Novitzky has been a part of the BALCO prosecution team that secured an indictment against Barry Bonds on charges of perjury and obstruction of justice. Bonds testified before a grand jury in 2003 and denied that he knowingly used performance-enhancing drugs. Emery praised Clemens' lawyers, Rusty Hardin and Lanny Breuer, as knowledgeable and said the prospect of a pardon was the only explanation that allowed the pitcher to repeat his denials under oath. "It's the only reason lawyers worth their salt would allow their client to run into the buzzsaw of Jeff Novitzky and the potential prosecution, tampering and lying to a federal official," Emery said. Joe Householder, Clemens' spokesman, said he would attempt to reach Hardin or Breuer for comment. Republicans on the committee did not immediately return telephone calls. Emery had harsh criticism for Republican Reps. Dan Burton of Indiana, Virginia Foxx of North Carolina, Darrell Issa of California and Christopher Shays of Connecticut. Shays called McNamee a "drug dealer" and Burton accused McNamee of telling "lie after lie after lie after lie." "It was disgusting and despicable behavior," Emery said. "It was clear to me they were carrying someone's water." Rep. Elijah Cummings, a Maryland Democrat who said he believed McNamee, was concerned about the apparent Republican-Democratic divide. "Of all the things to become partisan over, this was the wrong one," Cummings said. "What we needed to be doing was to be in search of truth. And I think that when you are truly in search of truth, we need to put the partisan shoes at the door and walk in without them." Copyright 2008 Associated Press. All rights reserved.

| And finally, why sometimes it is better to be Clarence Thomas: The father and son who came forward to say they have a photo of Roger Clemens at Jose Canseco's infamous pool party said they were going to keep the photo to themselves until they heard Rep. Dan Burton's wild-dog diatribe against Brian McNamee at the hearing. |
