Mr. Burton, you and your Republican friends are complete tools…
February 14, 2008“This is really disgusting. You’re here as a sworn witness . . . and yet we have lie after lie after lie after lie. I don’t know what to believe. I know one thing I don’t believe and that’s you.”
A few notes to Mr. Burton, you stupid dumbass fucking idiot:
- McNamee gave no indication that he was lying during his testimony. He did admit to lying previously to federal investigators…but at the current hearing, which you yourself indicated you were worried about by stating “You’re HERE as a sworn witness,” he did in fact appear to be telling the truth and staying consistent with the story he has been telling all along. In fact, he was ADMITTING to lying previously WHILE UNDER OATH. If you’re going to lambaste him about being a sworn witness, and having lie after lie after lie, then he was lying about lying previously – which means he was telling the truth anyway and that Clemens is a roid-head. We all know that anyway. Welcome to the party.
- Roger Clemens is “a baseball titan?” Are you kidding me? Could you be a little less partial, please? I’m actually surprised you were able to so effectively scream at Brian McNamee while keeping Roger Clemens’ balls firmly under your tongue…
- Brian McNamee did not “lie” about Jose Canseco’s BBQ. He mentioned several times that he recalled Clemens being there. Just because some other guys who recall something different came forward with evidence to help your favorite baseball titan does not mean that McNamee is not entitled to his own personal recollection of that day’s events. It turns out that his recollection was in fact correct (see below)…not that you’d let that get in the way of your idiocy, though.
- Brian McNamee named three players in his report. Andy Pettite confirmed that he was telling the truth. Chuck Knoblauch confirmed that he was telling the truth. Why is it that you did not mention one word during your retarded tirade about these two guys CONFIRMING that McNamee was telling the truth? Is it because they would hurt your beloved “baseball titan,” perhaps? You are so stupid, it hurts me.
It was also mentioned in a forum I was following the proceedings on (and a very accurate assesment, at that), that Clemens might have been better served if he had fired his own counsel and replaced them with the committee’s ranking Republican, Tom Davis (R-VA).
It was a bit disgusting to hear Davis defend Rajah at all costs, especially even spoon-feeding him an excuse when Chairman Waxman had him clearly on the ropes regarding his inappropriate contact with his former nanny.
“Isn’t it true, Roger, that you were just trying to get in touch with her so that we could speak with her?” OK, so that’s not a direct quote…it’s close to what he said. Are you kidding me? I’m no lawyer, but that seems like just about as leading a question as one can possibly be.
It does amuse me, in a way, that even after the great baseball titan clearly tried to tamper with a federal witness, she STILL told the committee the truth when asked – that Rajah the Great Baseball Titan was indeed at Jose Canseco’s BBQ.
The Republicans on that committee should be ashamed of themselves. Kudos to Reps like Elijah Cummings (D-MA) and Chairman Waxman (D-CA), for staying on point to what matters most – even if McNamee is of questionable character and found to not be quite so believable, why would Andy Pettite throw his good friend Roger Clemens under the bus if it was not the truth? Clemens himself called Pettite “an honest fellow,” so something obviously doesn’t mesh here.
I know one thing I myself would like to see – Rajah, the great baseball titan, sentenced to several years in federal pound-me-in-the-ass prison. Maybe he, Barry Bonds and Michael Vick can all have some “good times” together.
