Do You Swear?

Roger Clemens did plenty of plenty of swearing in his press conference the other day, but he'll soon be swearing on a Bible in front of congress. That according to Henry Waxman (D-Calif), the chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.

Since the committee's time for questioning is limited, they can go more in-depth with those testifying under oath. Typical congress though. Tobacco manufacturers testified WITHOUT being under oath, but a bunch of baseball players MUST be under oath.

Before then Brian McNamee will be meeting next Thursday with Assistant U.S. Attorney Matthew Parrella and IRS special agent Jeff Novitzky (whose name isn't as cool as say, "007"). Though no meeting agenda has been set, its expected that the three are meeting to discuss Clemens' allegations that McNamee lied to the Mitchell commission.

Bud Selig and George Mitchell may have wanted to just "move on" after the release of the Mitchell Report, but this stuff is just going to drag on indefinitely.




On another note, is Henry Waxman's head on upside down?
