Congress wasted 4 hours and 42 minutes of taxpayers time and money today and accomplished nothing. Oh wait. We learned that they like to divide among party lines. Shocking, huh? Republicans took Clemens side while the Dems tended to lean towards McNamee story. Chairman Waxman perhaps permanentley tarnished his reputation by apoligizing to McNamee is his closing argument/statement. Apoligizing to a cop turned drug dealer who admitted to dozens of lies today? I bet your constituants in the 30th district in California liked those comments Henry. Clemens may have hurt himself by trashing steroids in one of his final statements, while not even referencing HGH. However, Clemens did defend himself forcefully throughout the hearings. When commenting on whether or not he had visited Jose Canseco’s house for a party 9 or 10 years ago, while unsure if he had, “I know one thing. I wasn’t there huddled up making a drug deal.” Now where were Canseco, Chuck Knoblauch, and Andy Pettite today? These men who could cooraborate McNamees story were not called to be there? Perhaps Congress didn’t want more of McNamees lies exposed. It is said that everyone gets their 15 minutes of fame in life. It looked today as if Congressmen/women wanted their 5 minutes on ESPN today. Perhaps Rep. Christopher Shays put it best saying that these meetings were “spectacular”. Spectacular for face time in an election year.
