No, Martha Stewart was not convicted of insider trading but was convicted of lying to the Feds under oath.

Roger is on the Martha Track to Federal Prison.

I’d prefer to fire the lot of them, reinstate the constitution and be done with American Socialism, but I aint gonna get that wish either.

Nope, pardons are unconditional. I’ll bet one could even be written to cover future events.

I’m no Clemens fan, but you gotta give the man his props....and the benefit of the doubt. Its his accuser who’s the real sleazeball here.

Birds of a feather... McNamee, however, admits he dealt steroids, but Clemens is lying his ass off and not doing a good job at it. Witness tampering too! I don't see what doubt there is that Clemens deserves any benefit of. Pettitte says that Clemens told him he was using HGH in 1999. Everybody else McNamee said used steroids or HGH has fessed up, Pettite, Chuck Knoblauch, even Roger Clemens' wife.

We're to believe that Roger Clemens' wife used performance-enhancing drugs, but not Roger Clemens?

"Clemens should come out immediately and claim that Waxman and the DOJ are trying to set him up because he refused to rat out other players that they wanted. (Doesn’t matter if that is factual or not, we’ve all seen democrats do the same thing and there is no way to prove it isn’t)."

That's right ... do exactly what we criticize our political opponents for doing ... yeah, that's the ticket. Statements like this explain to me exactly why some Republicans accuse other Republicans of not having principles, and why the once conservative party is now going left in great haste.

Roger Ratted Out his Wife to the Feds!

I am sure it is a tough Valentines Day at the Clemens' house.

1. He may not be lying.

2. Pure-D hubris?

Sure, everyone's jawbone and head grow between age 23 and 43.

What's your point?

“The gauze and needles are like that blue dress.”

Who keeps soiled bule dresses and used gauze and needles?

Sounds like McNamee was trying to blackmail Clemens. FYI I hate baseball.

Draw people into a story. Get them fired up about guilt, innocence, testimony, evidence. Once this happens, they’ll pay no attention to the truly more insidious thing...the hearings, big government intrusion, Big-Nanny. The crooks and cretins win...the sheeple lose. Pathetic.

While McNamee has Roger's DNA on the gauze, he could have easily put HGH and steroids on it any time in the last 7 or so years.

I doubt it's that easy. I'd think that drug residue added after the fact to a blood stain on gauze is very different in appearance from the real thing.

I know Al Gore won an Oscar, an Emmy and the Nobel Peace Prize but can you tell me when Gore was in good enough condition to win a Cy Young?

Then, what kind of man is it that allows his wife to be injected with HGH and then rats his wife out to Congress?

OMG!!! Are you saying AlGore is on roids and HGH!! That might explain his roid rage over global warmongering.

Roger threw his own wife under the bus!

Yep, and not just his wife: his mother, his agents, his former team doctor, and his former teammate and friend Andy Pettite!

Up until yesterday I though that Barry Bonds was the biggest a-hole in baseball, but Clemens has managed to lap him after yesterday's disgusting performance. Even if he never gets indicted and convicted, this lowlife will never get into the Hall of Fame now in a million years.

The only two roads out of this mess are to beat the rap on some technicality or put some effort into countering the publicity trial which has been ongoing since Mitchell put that slanderous piece of trash into the public square.

Would have been a lot simpler just to tell the truth, like all the other players did. Clemens instead chose to lie, and if he reaps justice he'll be swatted with a perjury conviction.

I’m trying to care about any aspect of this, and failing miserably.

Except the still, small voice that says, “Why the HELL is Congress screwing around wasting time and my money with this?”

Man has not been charged with thing one. And he won’t be.”

Pardoned from what?

The only thing I saw yesterday was common sense on the side of the Republicans and total democrat BS on the other side.

Someone should put Henry Waxman out of his misery. He is always whining about something. Maxine Waters must be his mother....
