Comments on: Congress Seeks Clemens Perjury Probe

House Asks Justice Department To Investigate Whether Pitcher Lied Under Oath

[redhoffer]

I really hope we can keep this sports issue as the main focus of the federal government until Bush gets out of there.

At least Bush and his republican followers can''t kill any more soldiers and alienate more of our allies if they are wrapped up in this stuff.

Bush has destroyed our international credibility and done more to empower al qaeda than even al qaeda.

The best thing is keep this debate going, it''s pointless but Bush and the republicans can''t kill anymore troups over it or put any more children into poverty if they are busy with this.

Let''s face it, nothing will and nothing should get done under this monsters misguided and dangerous leadership. The best thing to keep everyone distracted until Bush is out. If it takes Congress talking sports for ten more months than I am all for it, makes me feel safer than Bush getting any say in any imporant matters.

The dem controlled Congress is a total waste of taxpayers time. They are useless.
With all that they were going to "fix" they spend time and money on this.

[rushlimpdrug]

Where are the idiots and what are the names of these wasted garbage that can take up the time of the government - including staff to look into this krap? ? ?

[fstop100]

Let Baseball handle it, whats next, football, pro wrestling, it will never stop. They do this so we won''t focus on our crooked congress, a diversion tactic, very useful in Washington.

[ichabod57]

So we should really waste even more taxpayer money, just because some baseball player may or may not have taken steroids? I really think we are wasting enough taxpayer money already.

[rushlimpdrug]

First they came for the short stop, and that was cool.

Then they came for the slugger, and that was cool.

Then they came for me, the rocket, and that was not cool.

So everyone pleeze help me.
I''m innocent.
We''re all innocent.
Really.
Don''t let them take us.
Someone help us.

[mgsmom2004]

Oh really? So baseball as a national and long lasting cultural tradiion in our country does not matter?

The influence that star baseball players have on young people does not matter?

That young people are using steriods because the "Stats" are, and dying, does not matter?

Maintaining truth and integrity when it involves one of our country''''s most s cared for traditions does not matter?


suggestion: read some books for a change and learn about the concepts of history, truth, integrity, customs, traditions, and why its important that Congress keeps an eye on these things so our civilization survives and does not get destroyed by want of greed or fame or indifference.

SERIOUSLY?? I am sorry, but I thought it was the parents responsibility to keep an eye on their children and teach them right from wrong, not our government. I hardly think that our current Congress is in any position to be pointing fingers at people who lie. We have bigger issues and problems in this country. What they are doing is a waste of time and tax payer money. I could give a rats a** if Clemens used steroids and I don''t think that our government should either.

[hmikem]

Drug test congress why don''t we!!!!!!

[donbl1]

This Congress is all about media exposure and getting reelected.

What a mess and waste of tax money.

Get rid of the whole bunch.

Ego is a terrible thing. Maybe the hard time will change him but I doubt it.

[redhoffer]

tomanyt - I know Clemens lied because all of the other witnesses and persons interviewed and all of the evidence shows he lied.
It is easy.
Check out the Mitchell Report, read the hearings transcript, it is easy.
I think this is a waste as well, but I am offended at someone lying brazenly in front of congress and they should pay (and not get pardoned). If I lied under oath in such a blatant manner I would expect I would go to jail, that''s what should happen to Clemens as a matter of intregity.
I could care less which baseball players used drugs, I think most did and they are all guilty of allowing steroids to invade the game.
I do care about someone lying in an obscenely obvious manner under oath.

[bozworth4]

Guess it would be worthless to have a probe of the number of times congress has lied to the taxpayers.
However the probe wouldn''t take lont if they stopped at the first lie. No democrats or republicans only politicians that would pimp their mother for a Euro.
Not a crime to do drugs? Only a crime to lie about it.

[tomanyt]

denn034...How do you know he lied?

[denn034]

Lying in a grand jury testimony is perjury, it''s no different from testifying in a court of law. Clemens did lie and this is a legitimate inquiry.

[jegibbons]

Take this chump out behind the woodshed, if you can prove he lied but waste not another moment of the Congess''s time on this kind of B-LL$@#T.

We''ve got Marines in need of proper fighting equipment and this ******* Congress thinks this is a priority??

Remember this on voting day.

[dredre2k]

Can our congress do anything less productive? Who CARES about a baseball perjury probe! I don''t! I care about what will happen to the country when gas reaches $4.00! Only in America I guess...

[soldierboy37]

What a freaking waste of our tax payer money!!!!

[ianlou]

This case belongs in a court, and this story belongs on the sports page, period.

[einsteinian-2009]

This is not necessarily a waste of tax dollars. It all depends on how you look at it. I personnaly think that if this teaches a lesson to young sportsmen that these substances can do you more harm than good in the long run, then go ahead and investigate. An investigation is also another manner to illustrate to the younger generation that lying, in a situation such as this one, also does more harm than good, especially to the person who lied, and that nobody is above the oath.

[roger_inkart]

Clemens is a self-centered, lying, cheating, arrogant moron who believes the rules don''t apply to him.

In other words, say hello to a future Republican member of the US Congress.
