Yesterday, McNamee’s lawyer, Richard Emery, said that President Bush would pardon Roger Clemens. What do you have to say to that, Rusty Hardin?

“Richard Emery just has to quit smoking his own dope,” said Rusty Hardin, one of Clemens’ attorneys.
Goodness, was Rusty Hardin this hi-larious when defending Arthur Andersen?

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.

I really don’t want to write about the Clemens steroids thing. I really truly don’t. The story itself is remarkably boring. McNamee says Clemens took steroids. Clemens says he didn’t. Congress doesn’t have better things to do, so they get involved. Ho-hum. But the star of this whole process — the one who makes this remotely interesting — has emerged. That star is Rusty Hardin.

Brian McNamee told congressional investigators he injected Roger Clemens‘ wife with human growth hormone as she prepared for a Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition photo session five years ago, the New York Daily News reported Friday.
McNamee testified during his Capitol Hill deposition on Thursday that he injected Debbie Clemens at her husband’s direction, the News said on its Web site, citing an unidentified Washington source.
Clemens’ lawyers did not directly address the accusation when asked. The pitcher …read more

Clemens: Remember what Carmelo Anthony says about snitching?
Don’t.
Andy Pettitte, who admitted to using HGH immediately after he as accused of doing so, is likely to testify to that effect before Congress. This is probably going to screw Roger Clemens, but whatever, Clemens has his own foolproof statistical defense which cannot be refuted in any way!
“Based on what we know, there was a situation where Andy was speaking to Roger in Brian’s presence, then Andy came over to Brian and essentially said, ‘Why didn’t you tell me about this stuff?’ He referred to HGH,” Ward said. “Brian discouraged him and then …read more
