Roger Clemens Named Clinton Spokesperson - Hillary Impressed By Pitcher’s Performance Before Congress

@ 07:28 PM (6 months, 12 days ago)

 

Now pitching for Hillary … Roger Clemens.

That was the word out of Washington today as Hillary introduced the embattled pitcher to the press corps as her new official spokesperson.

In a joint appearance, Hillary said she decided to tap Mr. Clemens after seeing him testify in congressional hearings last week.

“I was blown away by Roger,” she told reporters. “You don’t let talent like that go to waste.”

For his part, the former Yankee pitcher appeared to relish his newest assignment, telling reporters, “I am totally pumped.”

In his first session with the press today, Mr. Clemens parried with a reporter who asked if Hillary was backing off on her promise to serve the people of New York, claiming that the reporter and “misheard” and “misremembered” such a promise.

“You have misheard and misremembered something that we did not mispromise,” said Mr. Clemens, who later denied that his name was Roger Clemens.

Watching her new spokesperson dazzle the press corps, Hillary later said she was filled with pride: “I haven’t seen a performance like that since Bill and Paula Jones."

  1. That was unbelievable wasn't it? They had him backed into a corner, but boy, he refused to budge an inch and admit the obvious truth. Reminded me very much of Elmer/CFR on here.
    Do you still think Bonds is unfairly singled out? I was talking with my dad about it. I said they should throw all of them out forever and he made the good point that spitballer Gaylord Perry went into the Hall despite the fact that everyone knew he was cheating or trying to cheat in every game he pitched in. Sosa gets caught with a corked bat and is bashed endlessly. Where do you draw the line?
    The best hitter, HR hitter, pitcher, and one of only three of the guys to hit 500/3000 all might be left out of the Hall forever.
    He's got me rethinking this one. Not sure anymore.

  2. I'm personally glad Bonds isn't being singled out any more. It's interesting that Bonds will probably play this season and Clemens won't. Poetic justice. Somehow I can't equate the vaseline nailfile pitch with this stuff or Rose's gambling on the team he was managing. After all Rose himself agreed to be banned for life. Who knows.

    Actually Clemens did a lot of weaseling. For example first he doggedly stuck to the story that he positively was not at the party and finally a long time later admitted that "he might have stopped by". What a shame. Why is the Senate wasting our money on this? And why are democrats hammering Clemens and Republicans supporting him? The political subtleties of that escape me.

  3. I agree with you, Ed. I kept on thinking - Clemens should be ashamed - but why in the hell is he even there? Don't they have anything more pressing to worry about?

  4. Why don't they have a Congressional hearing on crooked ass politicians and/or those taking drugs?
