Watching the baseball steroid use hearings recently, I had a thought. Before I watched the hearings, I read a great deal in online blogs, sports reports and tv and radio news reports that Roger Clemons was lying, lying, lying and guilty as sin. After watching and seeing for myself, I can’t see how anyone can say Clemons is lying and Brian McNamee is telling the truth. First of all McNamee looks like a mongoloid version of comedian and actor Andy Dick. That doesn’t make him a liar but it doesn’t help his cause. I think they are both lying but I don’t think Clemons used steroids and/or human growth hormones very often. But this isn’t what my thought was about.

My thought was what is really behind the recent report and hearings on the subject that has been plaguing baseball for a while? Why now, at this particular point in time? The answer was obvious. President Bush is behind the Mitchell Report and the hearings. He needed to deflect attention away from himself and his administration. Bush has got himself into a mess with the war, a diminishing financial surplus, his anti-science stand and just plain becoming unpopular with the American voters. Bush picked the all American game for the subject of a report, knowing the eyes of America would follow the latest flare up. I’m sure it was Dick Cheney who looked for a subject just dying for attention and a chance to live in the spotlight for any reason. Brian McNamee was that subject. He is looking for attention at any cost and was willing to make himself look like a freaking drug pushing loser to get his moment in the spot light. Bringing Roger Clemons down with him is a bonus for him and President Bush.

What better committee to conduct the hearings than the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, the very committee that makes sure the government is being accountable for its actions. This is just the whipped cream on the ice cream. Keep the watch dogs busy with nonsense.

I don’t think Bush’s plan worked to well. The American people still have their eye on the man that will be out of office vry soon.
