Titan of Baseball

February 13th, 2008 by Jim Shella under Jim Shella's Political Blog

 Indiana Congressman Dan Burton has his mind made up with regard to the scandal surrounding baseball pitcher Roger Clemens.  At today’s Capitol Hill hearing on steroid abuse, Burton declared his support for Clemens while attacking his accuser, Brian McNamee.

   Here’s what Burton said at one point in the hearing, “You know, Roger Clemens, unless it’s proven that he used steroids, and so far I haven’t seen it, if he did, he ought to be held accountable, but Roger Clemens is a titan in baseball, and you and — and with all these lies if they are not true are destroying him and his reputation. Now how does he get his reputation back if this is not true? And how can we believe you because you’ve lied and lied and lied. “

    I think Rep. Burton is in his backyard right now using a watermelon to demonstrate how Clemens could not have injected himself.
