A Disgrace–Roger Clemens
No, not Roger. Congress and its self-righteous buffoons, that’s the disgrace. Well, Roger may be one too, but they haven’t proven that yet. Congress has already proven their disgrace over and over.
Roger, a fallen, humbled man, stumbling over words, “misremembering” things (is he perhaps a long-lost member of the Bush clan?), admonished by High Ranking Members of the United States Congress. Or so the news reports portray–a sad, piteous image. Pity? I don’t have any pity for Roger. He looks to be a lying sack of you-know-what, as does his accuser McNamee.
What in the world does this have to do with governing a country? Why are Henry Waxman and his fellow bullies badgering ball players?
I used to believe in the US government and its constitution until I realized that it’s a joke of a document, one that our government tramples on daily. This circus of a hearing is one more example of abusing the constitution, but who cares?
I know little about Clemens, as baseball “bin very very borin’ to me,” and so I don’t know if he’s someone worth defending, but I hope he shows some cajones and tells Congress to go to hell, particularly Henry Waxman. It’s none of their business.
