He keeps weirdly licking his lips before he says anything. I think he's going to get hammered.

As much of an ass I think Clemens is, remember how pissed off we were at everyone who said these sort of things when Bonds was living in the limelight (not Rush...just the spotlight)? We of all people should be able to hold off on comments until anything is proven.

si.com is live blogging it, several writers giving impressions

IMO, we of all people have earned the right to say anything we want after enduring BB's crucifiction for so long when everyone knew that he wasn't the only one.  I say it is about time the spotlight was on someone else whose career is as storied and as controversial as Bonds' and who is as big a jerk as Bonds too (reportedly).  I also can't wait for the other teams to start taking some heat the way the Giants as a team do.

I missed it, does anyone know why Rogers wife was getting slammed with HGH?  Several times?  

This will make my workday go quicker.

This photo panel thing this old bag is dragging out is lame.

Clemens is either an incredibly poor public speaker or he's just lying to no end.

I know that everyone has their own opinion about who is telling the truth and who is lying inside that court room, but many of these representatives are making it just blatently obvious that they've already decided who is or isn't guilty.  Maybe I just dont get the point of this hearing, but it's like these reps think they're auditioning for a role on "Law and Order" and it's very amusing that everyone is trying so hard to be Perry Mason.  There will never be another Perry Mason!!!

Matlock was corny, and Perry Mason had a beard.
advantage Mason

Dude, how tall is Waxman? the camera keeps panning from the Rep from Va, and then you see the camera drop like 2 ft down for Waxman's answer....midget

what a horrendous waste of public resources. They're all a bunch of buffoons - The politicians.

Are there real issues that Congress needs to deal with in this country? YES. Steroids is near the bottom of the list, if it even makes the list. if this wasn't on TV, then these politicians wouldn't even bother. The only reason there doing this dog and pony show is get headlines, which the sycophant media, of course, is happy to oblige them with.

I hope that each of these Congressmen and women, the ones who are running for re-election in November go back to their districts and their constituents ask them about them why they thought that holding these hearings was more important than, say, making health care more affordable, lowering taxes, cutting wasteful government, fighting terrorists and making this country safer or whatever other issue you can probably think of.

What a colossal waste of fucking time and resources!

I listened to about 20 minutes of steroid hearings on the radio today,
and the main conclusion I came away with is that Congress is full of
buffoons.  Every one of them wasted much of their five minutes of
questioning time.

1.  Kept trying to pin McNamee down with false dichotomies.
   
2.  Used up about three of her five minutes to ask a long winded
   

version of this question:  "You testified to us repeatedly that you
hadn't heard you'd been invited to be interviewed by Mitchell, but on
60 Minutes you told Mike Wallace that your lawyers told you not to go.
Which is it?"

3.  Spent half his time stammering.
   
4.  Pegged the meter on partisan questions.  Asked Clemens if he
   

"could still tell my boys that you played the game clean," followed by
asking him what hat he'd wear to the HOF.  Then he pummels McNamee
trying to get him to admit his testimony was motivated by a plea
bargain deal.

Unbelievable.  And these buffoons afraid to put anyone on trial who
can fight back.

I thought it was fascinating though. I couldn't get enough of it. How could anybody believe Clemens is telling the truth after the statements from Andy Pettitte and Chuck Knoblauch?? He'll probably win a court case though, because they'll be able to exploit the fact that McNamee is a liar too.
