If the Clemens fiasco wasn't crazy enough......

Brian McNamee's attorneys want to blame their client's problems on.......wait for it.......President Bush:
One of Brian McNamee's lawyers predicted Roger Clemens will be pardoned by President Bush, saying some Republicans treated his client harshly because of the pitcher's friendship with the Bush family.

Richard Emery made the claims Thursday, a day after a congressional hearing broke down along party lines. Many Democrats were skeptical of Clemens' denials he used performance-enhancing drugs and Republicans questioned the character of McNamee, the personal trainer who made the accusations against the seven-time Cy Young Award winner.

"It would be the easiest thing in the world for George W. Bush, given the corrupt proclivities of his administration, to say Roger Clemens is an American hero, Roger Clemens helped children," Emery said in a telephone interview. "It's my belief they have some reason to believe they can get a pardon."

What an amazing thing to read. Only Brian McNamee has admitted to committing a crime throughout this entire ordeal. Even the players who have admitted to HGH and steroid usage haven't blatantly admitted to committing crimes, certainly nowhere near the level of those admitted under oath by McNamee.

The entire Steroid Witch Hunt being undertaken by Congress has been completely embarrassing, but I never thought it could reach the levels of divisive partisanship and outright paranoia that McNamee's lawyers displayed through these statements...
