Congress, Clemens, McNamee and Spygate

Well what a day today was. I think I am actually dumber for having listened to that nonsense on Capitol Hill today. Did we learn anything new? Yes, McNamee is a bit of a weasel and may have some skeletons in his closet. Yes, Roger Clemens is a HUGE EGOMANIAC and apparently doesn't mind that McNamee had his wife's pants around her ankles in their bedroom while he stuck something in her ass unbeknownst to him. (I'm talking about the needle of course) Yes, Congress should have better things to do, but apparently doesn't, and still has some members who are star struck just as they were with the first round of Steroid Users. As for Arlen Specter and Spygate, shouldn't he just admit that he's a bitter Eagles fan and that he's just pissed off that they keep losing? For all you people out there that think this is a good thing because you hate the Patriots for being winners let me remind you that it may be the Patriots today but where do we draw the line? Maybe you work at a private company and Congress decides they want to come in and do some drug testing because they have heard that there are some users working there and they don't think that management has handled the job of punishing them adequately enough. Are you for that? Do you want them micromanaging your company's personnel decisions? Call it what you want, that's exactly what this is. So even though watching Big Head Roger today was good for a laugh or two it doesn't change the fact that he shouldn't have been there to begin with.

Note to Congress:

It's a game people! We have real problems in our country that affect real people and you get paid to take care of those. Why don't you try doing that job well before you start trying to run the NFL and MLB?

Getting back to Clemens, If he would have just shut his big yap he wouldn't be in this situation. He has displayed all the negative aspects of Pride. Rather than admit that he is human and maybe had a few lapses of judgment, he has decided to throw his wife under the bus and to treat you and I like we are complete morons. Does he really think that we are all dumb enough to buy his BS? If he would have gone the honest route like Pettitte and the others then this would all be over by now. Unfortunately it looks like he decided to lie, thinking he could fool everyone, to preserve his reputation. In the end that will be the reason he no longer has one.
