Everyone Seems to Think That This Clemens Thing is Important

After yesterday’s bigger-waste-of-tax-dollars-than-usual, the backwater lawyers of each client continue to spout off about nearly anything and everything. Now, although Roger Clemens hasn’t been convicted (or charged) with a crime, Brian McNamee’s lawyer thinks President Bush will pardon Clemens. Sure, why the hell not?

Lawyer Richard Emery made the claims Thursday, a day after a congressional hearing broke down along party lines. Many Democrats were skeptical of Clemens’ denials he used performance-enhancing drugs and Republicans questioned the character of McNamee, the personal trainer who made the accusations against the seven-time Cy Young Award winner.

“It would be the easiest thing in the world for George W. Bush, given the corrupt proclivities of his administration, to say Roger Clemens is an American hero, Roger Clemens helped children,” Emery said in a telephone interview. “It’s my belief they have some reason to believe they can get a pardon.”

In summation, don’t mess with Texas.
