Doesn’t Pettite’s disclosure – that McNamee is telling the truth about Pettite’s HGH use – compromise Clemen’s credibility?

well, yeah, that’s ONE compromizing aspect

then you gotta wonder why clemens’ wife would need to use HGH

basically, there AIN’T NO REASON for clemens wife to be using HGH

HGH is a SCHEDULE TWO NARCOTIC

un-perscribed use is a felony

so why would he admit his wife is a potential felon

but the thing that destroys clemens credibility the most was his intial statement

“if I did use HGH, WHERE WOULD I GET THE SYRINGES”

once you learn that clemens admits to ILLEGALLY INJECTING VITAMIN B-12 AND LYDOCAINE, you can kinda figure out where clemens would get the syringes to inject HGH

clemens got the syringes he used to inject HGH at the same place that clemens got the syringes he used to inject the B-12 and Lydocaine

is that so hard to figure out

clemens was a fine pitcher, and he’s a very stubborn man, as well as a very STOOOOOPID man. He is also a morally bankrupthypocrite and liar, as well as a cheater and a drug user

and a man so LOW that he is willing to hide behind his wife and slander former friends rather than admit the truth

and they don’t come much lower than that

You’re making me rethink some of my positions on this one.

Back to EW’s question: Doesn’t Pettite’s disclosure – that McNamee is telling the truth about Pettite’s HGH use – compromise Clemen’s credibility?

Secondly, don’t buy into the pitched story on Clemens demanding the hearing. The committee demanded the hearing and they threatened to subpoena everybody (they actually did Knoblauch, but never got him served before he agreed to come on his own). But Clemens affirmatively said no need for any subpoena, I’ll come any and every time you want and I look forward to it. Just before the hearing, the committee, and Waxman, suddenly wanted to scuttle the whole deal and tried to get Clemens to be the one to request that it not proceed, but he refused because he wanted to maintain his position that he was ready to testify. That is the “demand” that Waxman bellows about; somewhat disingenuously if you ask me. I still like Waxman a lot, and I will give him a pass here; but I don’t like, nor approve of, how he has handled all this one bit. I would just be much happier if he stuck to the stuff that is critical out there right now, and that ain’t Roger Clemens.

Lastly, haven’t seen you much for a while; glad you are back.

I believe it was a mistake to allow him to think that testifying in front of the Oversight Committee would be a good opportunity to clear his name.

Clemens spent the day on national TV looking like he was lying; about his wife’s HGH injection, the boil on his ass, the letters from Mitchell, the party in Miami, never having discussed HGH with McNamee, etc etc. Clemens testified as if ‘beyond a reasonable doubt’ was the standard and the rules of evidence were the same as the court of law. They were not. This hearing was held in the court of public opinion and Clemens was the loser, even as shady and compromised as McNamee proved to be.

Look at where Pettite ends up and look at where Clemens is; both guys were fingered by the same trainer. One is a hero for telling he truth and the other has a cloud over him.

There was one problem: none of Bennett’s statements refuted a single fact in the Times story. Not one. It was all rhetoric and bombast. To prove it, here are the Bennett remarks disseminated by the McCainiacs…
