Congress going after a baseball player for perjury? Perfect
Just heard that Palmerio (sp?) is going to be investigated for perjury about his steroid use.

Those bees you hear are the huge buzz coming out of the mainstream media.

This'll be above the fold for weeks. Dead troopers still on page A18

1. They'll immediately start investigating a baseball player...
but won't begin an investigation about being lied into a disastrous war. And people wonder why Rome burned?

:argh:

8. Bolton's perjury is not important.
Nor was Tenet's. Damn, who else? My memory isn't kickin' in on this.

11. Put him in jail!
That's what I say. Along with Bolton, Rover and everyone else who lied under oath.

Think it'll happen? Nope.
