John Edwards calls R. Kelly from the bathroom stall for advice

A code blue: Some choice quotes.

“Ok, where are you now?”

“I’m in the bathroom stall.”

“You’ve just got to stand there and say no comment or just lie. Lie, lie, lie till you can’t lie no more.”

“This isn’t as bad as you think it is. . . . I need to get the rest of the team in on this.”

“I’m guessing there’s no window that you could sneak out of?”

“No, there’s no window.”

“You may have to take a hostage.”

“When it comes to sex scandals, we must set all petty differences aside and all band together. It’s the man code”

“I made my bone by whacking Marilyn Monroe when I was just 16. Yep, that was me.”

“Nobody is getting whacked, ok?”

“If whacking people is not an option, then what do we do?”

“John Edward’s got a code blue.”

“Thanks R. Kelly. I knew you’d come through for us.”

“Alright, John, here’s the plan . . . we’ll get our friends in the press to start covering this thing up ASAP.”

“Someday you may be asked to do a service for the Cheat Team.”

Alright, that’s enough.

News flash! Congress to investigate pitching great Roger Clemens for perjury.

Members of Congress, mostly Democrats, especially Henry Waxman, want the United States Justice Department to investigate whether Clemens was telling the truth when he appeared in a farcical hearing that even Waxman found embarrassing and wished he had not held.

This was a hearing where gas bag politicians, not prosecutors, were questioning Clemens about the testimony from an inveterate liar, a drug dealer, and date rapist Brian McNamee that he had injected Clemens with steroids and other substances. No one has any other testimony other than McNamee’s.

They would seek to use the words of Yankee pitching great Andy Pettitte to buttress McNamee’s shaky testimony.

This is not going to end well. For Congress. And the Justice Department. Also, I have a feeling that this nation faces far more serious problems than this trumped up drama.

Questions for Mr. McNamee

By HomepageNo Comments

Brian McNamee and Roger Clemens in February 2006. If we take Brian McNamee at his word, why did he keep this?

Was he thinking five years ago, or however long ago this gauze and needle are from, that he would one day rat Roger out and use the stuff to back up his case if Roger denied it?

Is Roger’s blood in the syringe?

In which case, wasn’t he supposed to be injecting Roger with steroids, not extracting his blood?

How do we know how and when the steroids got in the syringe?

Was it before or after McNamee used it on Roger?

These and many other questions . . .
