Re Roger Clemens: the selective prosecution of some, but not others, for lying to Congress is a
cynical travesty which should lay to rest any notion of the equal justice under the law and rule of law doctrine thingies. :)

3. Bottom Line
Congress has no farking business meddling in Baseball affairs.

It should be above a game.

Complete waste of time, in my humble opinion.

4. In Clemens' case they did go out of their way to tell him- dude- don't come up here again
and feed us a load of crap.

He didn't have to turn up.

5. It would seem that the Rocket
failed to use the Cheney defense.-- Never ever testify under oath. That way everyone who is anyone knows your lying like a shag carpet.

And also why not also hang that Raffy "the rat" Palmero(SP?).
