I’m curious, why would congress be involved with this? Isn’t this a judicial matter?

What will happen when Barry and Rahm are challenged for statements made to Federal agents in the investigation of Blago/Burris? Will the media care? Will they be Scooterized by the process crime? (Answers: NO - it was rhetorical.)

Bela Pelosi can lie to the American People over
national security, but steroids in pro sports is a
much more pressing issue...

Exactly. Congress and Obama lie to us all the time. Obama broke the law in firing an IG yet the Congress are worried about some has-been ballplayer? It's no wonder we're quickly turning into a third-world nation.

They won’t investigate the Speaker of the House’s charge that the CIA lied in classified briefings, but they’ll investigate whether or not a baseball player lied about steroids.

They have time for this, but not to investigate how many laws were broken in the Chrysler deal?

Baseball is NOT the national pastime...congress goofing off on and with our money is and must be stopped. As Beck said today, “We’re coming to get you...all of you Dim, Pub, Libertarian, all of you, so beware.”

Makes my blood boil. Who actually cares is Sosa lied? Every hitter since 1980 should have an asterisk.
