Rocket’s Red Glare

Someone lied to Congress today.  Roger Clemens went under oath today and claimed:

Let me be straight, I have never taken steroids or HGH.

Clemens is not stupid.  He has seen that the federal government will prosecute perjury, just ask Barry Bonds.  He did what I said he needed to do.

There is one way to clear up the matter for good: put yourself under oath and answer the questions.

I applaud Clemens for what he did today.  But consider me still skeptical.  Two seats to his right was Mr. McNamee.  McNamee claimed today that he injected Clemens many times over the years.

McNamee has credibility issues.  So does Clemens.  One of them lied; perhaps both.  Right now, I am providing Clemens with the benefit of the doubt, but I by no means will declare him innocent.  If he had used steroids, he has totally screwed his legacy and should be jailed.  Knowing that, how could he have lied to Congress?  That’s why he gets my leniency.
