What a joke.
According to Congressman Henry Waxman, the steroid hearings on Capital Hill were held today because Roger Clemens asked for them.
Good. I hope Clemens is footing the taxpayers bill. And I hope the multi millionare has the time to explain why he thinks it's more important for Congress to focus on his possible perjury than our endless war in Iraq or our faltering economy.
I am always amazed at the audacity of rich people. They feel as if money buys them anything, including a bigger voice...anywhere. And granted, as the path of history tells us, it does. But in a Democracy, we should all be equal. And the needs of everyone else should be equal. However, it doesn't always work out that way in an election year when Waxman, Davis, et al get free airtime.
The hearings left me down hearted today. In a day or so, pitchers and catchers report for Spring Training. Spring Training has always been a sign of promise for me; warmer weather ahead! Instead, it's going to be every baseball player having to answer the same questions: "Did you watch Clemens and do you take steroids."
Oh where have you gone Joltin Joe Dimaggio?
