How to Hang Yourself for Dummies
As Russell at Arizona Via Slough so aptly pointed out, in my last post I missed the irony in the latest Clemens self-demolition derby: as I had noted previously, the entire issue regarding whether Captain America had attended the Canseco party was a complete canard created by his attorney, a logical sleight-of-hand designed to divert attention from the substantial charges. I was actually surprised (silly me) that Congress took the bait and spent a considerable amount of time focused on the party.
Earth to Roger: have you ever noticed that people have a propensity to bring cameras to social events where celebrities are present?
Tip for Hangsters: Hire Rusty Hardin as your attorney. Guys like that make the big bucks thinking about things like the fact that people have a propensity to bring cameras to social events where celebrities are present. This clown has ill-served Clemens at every turn. He should have advised Clemens from the onset to say two words: "No comment." Makes you wonder who Clemens' personal physician is, Dr. Kevorkian?
Assuming those photos exist--and the admission by Clemens lawyer makes me think they do--Clemens is indisputably guilty of perjury, the irony being it was Clemens who made attendance at the party the crux of his defense. No party -> No conversation -> No steroids. Looks good on a whiteboard. Too bad it was a whitewash.
Clemens did more than lied to Congress: he made a fool of Congress. How ridiculous does Burton look now waving videotapes purportedly proving Clemens was not at the party and assailing McNamee? He made them look gullible and stupid. Clemens is toast.
I'll give you some free advice, Roger: come clean. Do an Andy Pettitte. Throw yourself on the mercy of the court. Apologize to the baseball public. It is over.
You hung yourself, you dummy.
Who's Your Nanny?
In my view...
The fact that photos may exist is just another bit of evidence [and, probably the most important piece of evidence] confirming that Roger Clemens was at "that" party!
But, also, I think the fact that Brian McNamee brought up the nanny [being at the party], and the nanny's statements that she was there, as well as, Roger's wife and kids, has really been overlooked. Also, the fact that the nanny said, "the Clemens' family stayed overnight at the Canseco house", on that eventful night.
If Roger did stay overnight, who knows what was discussed between him and Jose that night, at Jose's house, after the game, when all the other party goers were gone...Of course, the conversation [about PED'S] could have taken place anywhere. It's the fact that Roger tried to hide the fact that he was at Canseco's house that has opened up possible perjury charges against him...
But, remember at the hearing, after the break, Clemens kind of left the door open that "he may have stopped by the Canseco house at some point during that day"...I guess, before the "nanny" was brought up at the hearings - Clemens must have "misremembered" that he was there - at the party, and also, that he and his family stayed overnight at Canseco's house!
Oh, Roger! Oh, Roger! Just come clean, and say you did it! In the long run, "the truth will set you free" !!!
