Congressional BURN

Posted by Trizz
675 days ago


So enjoying my snow day and watching the Clemens hearing...Congresswoman Norton is asking questions about Roger's credibility and Roger is trying to talk his way out of it to moderate sucess and then before going on recess she says "I'm Sure You're Going to heaven Roger" i thought it was facking hilarious i think it was pretty unprofessional anyone else watching this

I passed because I don't understand why the government is getting involved in a sporting league while we are in the middle of a war, the economy is tanking, and so much other more important stuff than whether or not some guy took hGH...

I mean, why is this important to the government?

...church and state should be seperate, and so should sports...

I whole heartedly agree, especially with the war part. There are far more important things the government could be investigating and although it could do some good in regards to younger kids and steroids, they are definitely overstepping their bounds here. Same with the SpyGate thing -- Goodell is being interviewed by that guy from Philadelphia. I could see this steroids hearing, but why does the government care if the Patriots cheated?

With that said, I'm watching as well Trizz. I went into this absolutely sure Clemens was lying and although I still believe so, McNamee isn't doing anything to up his reputation, either.

It's funny too -- each representative obviously has a favorite as in, they have made up their decision for the most part on who they think is telling the truth. One of the representatives, I forget who exactly, basically kissed Clemens ass the whole time.

One blatant ass kissing at least, with absolutely no regard for the fact that he was a United States representative and supposed to remain biased.

Yes, I would agree that it's hilarious. I like the facial reactions of the representatives assistants sitting behind them as well. Rolling of the eyes, smirks, jaws dropping. Classic.

i like espn's analysis...

Roger Cossack knows what the hell is going on...none of the other guys do...and one of the ESPN anchors didn't even understand what the congresswoman from DC was referencing when she mentioned that clemens was going to heaven...

Steve Phillips said clemens was getting battered...which isn't really true...

Agreed. Roger Clemens gained nothing from today's hearing other than providing federal prosecutors more statements under oath to pour over in hope of finding contradictory testimony. If the Clemens legal think tank was hoping for a public outcry of support, I don't think today's activities achieved that agenda.

This entire thing is ridiculous. There will never, ever be proof that Clemens or anyone took any sort of illegal substance without a confession or a POSITIVE TEST! Here-say is not evidence, especially coming from McNamee who acted like a child when anyone questioned his motives.

Why didn't we see them today? McNamee is getting punked out by all of these congressmen... why doesn't he bring the "evidence" he has? And where was Pettite? Why wouldn't they get him in there to reinforce his affidavit? It all seems fishy to me. Documents mean nothing, you can not convict someone over what someone claims happened years ago.

You must be watching an entirely different Congressional hearing from the one I just saw. The Chairperson (Waxman) for this Congressional Hearing ON THE RECORD APOLOGIZED to Brian McNamee for the conduct of SOME of his Congressional colleagues.

If McNamee brought the gauze pads and the blood was identified as his, Clemens would just say it was from B-12 shots and not HGH.

It is really a moot point as there is no chance in hell that McNamee's alledged "evidence" would even be permitted to enter a criminal trial proceeding. What was most damaging to Clemens was the apparent collaborative testimonies supporting McNamee were supplied by Knoblauch and Pettitte during their depositions.

The grandstanding by some of those Congress members on the panel was absurd. I'm guessing half of them whacked off to Godfather II last night.

And as the person being in charge of those proceedings, Waxman was clearly bothered by that type of conduct to the point of apologizing to Brian McNamee.

Remember that this hearing TODAY was only held because of Roger Clemens - not Brian McNamee.
