He writes:By the time Rep. Henry Waxman (Democrat) closed the hearing, he felt compelled to offer McNamee an apology for the behavior and comments of some of his colleagues. America was owed an apology. This is how our government works.
A lobbyist, which Clemens was all last week, convinced a group of elected officials to play games with the truth. Wednesday was a public-relations battle between Clemens and McNamee. Clemens' lawyers banked on their star player's ability to woo a few political supporters, so that the hearing wouldn't be a one-sided examination of Clemens' half-baked explanations.
Clemens sold himself as a patriotic all-American family man who speaks to children about doing things the right way. He's a big strapping baseball icon with a beautiful blonde wife. He's America.
