Things she never thought she'd hear on C-Span

a palpable mass

on a definite ass
a cheating no class
who'll probably get a pass

Am watching it on C-SPAN

Don't know about high heat, but Clemens is
doing a great Richard Nixon imitation.
And Steve Lynch (who boston.com initially
called James Lynch!) absolutely cratered him.

Why is this Congress's business?

I don't see why the federal government has any legitimate interest in whether baseball players (or track stars, or other athletes) take performance-enhancing drugs. This should be a matter for the leagues and their unions to work out.

Pan et circense

They're hoping we won't notice that they aren't holding hearings into the more significant shenanigans of the last 7 years.

Agreed on the Roman Reference

But...I just can't help myself.

Lynch on Eagan and Braude justifies congressional
involvement with the position that as the governing
body in charge of drug policy (VIOXX as another example)
they are req'd to be on this. Also cites MLB's
monopoly exemption.

I can't justify it, but I can enjoy it. And I like
the guy with the Trident over the guy with the short
sword.
