Live Blogging The Roger Clemens Congressional Hearings

Yesterday the oddsnark staff attempted to live blog the committee hearing with Roger Clemens and Brian McNamee, but for some technical reasons it never got published. Here’s the transcript.

9:00 - has it started yet? im too hung over for this going back to bed

11:45 - Shit I overslept. Okay, well I guess I’ll turn on the TV and get this started.

11:50 - I’m bored, too many people talking and not saying anything. Someone else want to chime in? I’m going to play some Guitar Hero.

1:25 - Huh, looks like no one else has posted. Maybe we’ll do a recap after it’s over. Making a run to the c-store for a soda.

2:10 - Is it finally over? Well, thanks for reading our live blog of the Roger Clemens hearing.

Alright, maybe the blogosphere was better off without that waste of bandwidth, but here are a couple thoughts on the whole media circus that took place on Capitol Hill yesterday:

Brian McNamee looks and sounds like a little weasel.

Roger Clemens didn’t come off smelling like roses either.

I loved it when members of Congress would start their questions with a statement about how they think the whole hearing is a farce and a waste of time, but that didn’t stop them from mugging for the camera and asking questions anyway.

Christopher Shay of Connecticut calling McNamee a drug dealer was classic.

Henry Waxman gaveling Clemens for interrupting his closing remarks (”This is not your time to argue with me!”) was even better.

Someone committed perjury yesterday and the Justice Department is damn well going to find out who it was and send them to jail. I am so looking forward to that witch-hunt.
