I still can't grasp this

Why the heck is Congress spending time on steroids in baseball? Seriously. Why? There is absolutely no reason for Congress to devote time to this.

Your Congressmen are farsighted, HGM - ever looking ahead to their next election campaign - this is a marvellous (photo)opportunity for them to hog the spotlight...they know that the media will make much of it, even if we fans don't (and, unfortunately, we do, don't we?):rolleyes:

This is just something Congress does not need to be involved in. "Think of the children" is the rhetoric they keep bringing up. Please. There's much more pressing issues that affect the children than freaking baseball players injecting things into their butt.

And it's being broadcast on EVERY national news channel. America really needs to get its priorities straight.

Yeah! They need to get back to reality TV!

ROFL!!!!

True there are wars happening and this seems like a non-issue for Congress. This to me is why you have a commish in sports. If the commish is not doing his job properly then fire him and move on!

Ah....such a waste....did you go to a party....how long does it take you to golf....

Everyone at this hearing looks like a fool.

Well I think the world is safer knowing how long it takes Roger to Golf.

The children are certainly better off.

By the way, Rep. Dan Burton, I loved his line, "Gee whiz, are you kidding me? My goodness."

And He does not look like he wants to be there. His hand has been on his cheek the entire time.

He's hiding his HGH needle mark!

Is it me or does everyone there look constipated?

All I know, is hearing Congress talk about masses on buttocks so much makes me giggle.

"Palpable mass on his buttocks"

Being tired about it or not, it's an ongoing story and when something big happens like this, it's okay to discuss.


Rep. Davis: "Mr. Clemens, do you recall bleeding through your pants in 2001?"

Clemens: "I do not."
