    Justice Dept. Asked to Investigate Roger Clemens - New York Times

    (As first observed by Jon Stewart) How did even this become a partisan issue?

    Quoted: Democrats appeared to back McNamee, who stated in the Mitchell report that he injected Clemens with steroids and human growth hormone on numerous occasions between 1998 and 2001. Many Republicans appeared to side with Clemens, with one Republican calling McNamee a “liar” and a “drug pusher.”

    Clemens on 60 Minutes  | The Seattle Times

    Quoted: The first question was why McNamee would lie about drug use by Clemens, but tell the truth about giving human growth hormone to the pitcher's friend, training partner, fellow Texan and longtime teammate (in New York and Houston), Andy Pettitte. Two different cases, Clemens said, adding that he was "shocked" to hear about Pettitte taking HGH, but insisting it had nothing to do with him.
    ...
    In other words, a fancy way of not giving an answer. Yes, we know they are two separate cases. But why lie about one and tell the truth about the other? Especially when McNamee faces possible jail time for lying? Clemens wouldn't touch that one. But it's a darn good question.
