    Didn't you know that if one party chooses to be on one side of an issue, then by law, the other party is supposed to take the opposite side?

    That was a rather impressive use of our tax dollars, no? I guess C-SPAN ratings must be down.

    Did anyone else hear that if convicted Clemons could get a pardon from the Prez?

    I don't think it matters cause I doubt that if he's ever convicted, it would happen before Bushy leaves office.

    IDK? Doesn't really matter, just heard it on ESPN last night. They said Roger and the Prez were pretty tight. Makes you wonder whats it all for then? If they go through the whole thing, find him guilty and then he gets the get out of jail free card didn't we just waste a bunch of time and money? Selig won't do the right thing, the players won't do the right thing? Damn shame is what it is.

    Why in the world is the Congress wasting our money on this? It wasn't against baseball rules, and steroid use is rampant, even on a recreational level. Let law enforcement deal with this.

    A revenue siphoning war that's turned into a quagmire, runaway deficit spending, porkbarrell and lobbyist problems, and they're wasting time with this publicity stunt? And it's both parties

    I wonder why Congress approval level is in the 20's.
