Don’t worry Rocket-man, the most powerful man in the free world has your back.
Brian McNamee’s lawyer, Richard Emery, made headlines today by saying, “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. It’s my belief they have some reason to believe they can get a pardon.” We’re not sure which paper broke the lead first, but we saw it in the Miami Herald.
From what we can tell, this is an ill-fated attempt by Emery to illustrate why Clemens is lying. Saying that if his lawyers let him purjure himself in front of Congress, he must have a Presidential Pardon in his back pocket because he’s f***ed now. He also throws in a little bit about the partisan nature of the hearing yesterday.
At the Legend, we really wanted to avoid the Roger Clemens hearings. Unfortunately, we couldn’t. The Worlwide Leader wouldn’t let us. Nothing like tuning in and being lied to for a few hours. We can confirm that the McNamee/Clemens camps were split almost perfectly down party lines.
Listen Mr. Emery, we’re all with you here at The Legend, we think Rocket-Man’s story resembles a sieve. But you were in D.C., of course the Republicans went one way and the Democrats went the other. That’s just how it works. You think that after a week’s worth of schmoozing with Clemens, the Republican Congressmen were going to grill him up there?
We’re starting to think that Clemens’ people got to Emery and said, “okay as a sign of good faith, say something really crazy, and that’s how we’ll know the deal is on.” Does this mean that Joe Montana and Michael Jordan also have lifetime Presidential Pardons? They’re great American heroes…
