Federal authorities have decided to indict Roger Clemens on charges of making false statements to Congress about his use of performance-enhancing drugs, according to two people briefed on the matter....

Lying to Congress. Is that like practicing medicine without a license?
I’m an Astros fan, so he’s kind of traitor-like around these parts.... no love lost here LOL....
clemens is conservative???
Just wondering.....
Seeing as how you have no standing, go take a seat!
I wonder when congress will be charged with violationg their oaths, which they do all day, every day.
Don’t you dare lie to the liars!
HUH!!!
Baseball Pitcher/President...Baseball Pitcher/President
I don’t know, I am having a hard time seeing how the two equate...
lying to congress is like smoking weed in a crack house.
Oh gees...I thought those were pajamas.
* -- Roger Clemens, 6-Time Cy Young Winner
* CHEATER
Just because the guy was a great pitcher doesn’t mean he gets a pass for lying under oath.
it’s only permissable when Congress lies to us.
then it’s not perjury, it’s just Con-gress.
I am curious as to why my post was deleted from breaking news and replaced with someone else’s and mine was in first?????
Took care of that...
You deleted them too?? That was mean....LOL don’t tell ‘em I told on them....
Why is Clemens not breaking? Seriously, what qualifies? Really, I always get offended like a whiny little kid when my stuff gets moved....it hurts my feelings
....it hurts my feelings
It ain't personal. Sports figures and stories simply ain't breaking news. And I personally move 'em all to chat.
Sports can’t be in breaking news???? I distinctly remember the Super Bowl Thread was there.....
ah ha.... I gotcha....
Are you a yankees fan?? Is that what it is??
hahahahaa
Note to self: It’s probably never a good idea to pick a fight with an Mod.... ha!
Usually we’ll let a Bowl, Series thread in there
But if it makes you feel better, this was placed in BN.

Ok, Ok, man/woman behind the curtain, you win. you win... LOL
When a Congressman lies to a constituent, that’s OK; when a constituent lies to a Congressman he gets indicted. I guess that’s why the guy has the sign “I love my country, I fear my government”.
Those hearings were a big waste of time in the first place, just a publicity stunt for politicians to get their mugs on the local news.
I’m not an apologist for Roger Clemens; I just don’t want this to take over the news cycle from Mosques, Deficits, Unemployment, Immigration, etc and all the other issues that matter and will slaughter Demorats.
Don’t you find the timing just a tad suspicious? Let’s not allow Holder’s corrupt DOJ to knock us off message - 74 days to go, we can do it!!
