Anon, I agree totally with what you are saying, but I can think of one thing the dems did - raise minimum wage. So they rode the populist wave and stuck it to those pesky employers, and said you will pay the people more money. And the employers, said, ok, we will pay some more money, and fire the others. Now we can all blame Bush for a higher (yet still very good) unemployment number. I'd like to weigh in on this issue. I agree with the article that our government has better things to do. In terms of the demonization of Clemens, I think it's terrible, Clemens may have used steroids to extend his career and possibly heal faster, but he wasn't using it like bonds or mcguire who literally used it solely for performance benefits, not to heal or fight old age (which is arguable a legit use for these drugs, especially HGH). Why isn't Bonds or McGuire facing the same music?

JOM "Obama...the Affirmative Action Candidate" Well now, McCain's got the GOP nomination locked - for sure after next week's primaries... So who was it you said you were going to vote for, again?

You are right...congress is going after Clemens because they are nothing more than a bunch of old fools..here are a few more committess.. How about a committee to investigate the collective IQ of a Dumbocratic controlled congress who have been continuosly duped by a so called moron of a president. Hmmmm a moron republican smart enough to fool a whole party of "smart" dumbocrats...what does that tell you? How about a committee to look into why congress will not allow the building of new oil refineries or the drilling of oil reserves? Thats just what we need is more congressional committees... JOM "Obama...the Affirmative Action Candidate"

"How can anyone have faith in a government that spends more time worrying about Roger Clemens than more pressing issues? " Are you asserting Congress has spent more time on Clemens than any the issues you listed above?

This article should be on moveon.org - Thats where the liberal propaganda is published. I understand how frustrating it is for Democrats to loose at everything and not get anything done even against a president whose rating is in the 30s. But you only have your congressmen to blame. The Democrat congress hasn't accomplished a thing since they came to power. I seriously cannot think of a single major legislation they introduced and passed (that their base wanted them to pass). I heard things about ending the war and bringing troops home and what not. We know what a Democrat president will do based on this congress' performance..he/she will promise big and deliver nothing. They have no time to bring the FISA bill to a vote (because they know it'll pass easily like it did in the Senate). They have no time to discuss other major legislation but holy crap a baseball player doing steroids? Lets use our power to investigate that! I mean that is way more important than the war on terror or the economy or enemy surveillance. I guess if someone told them that terrorists take steroids, the congress would get right on it. At least the Republican congress got things done even if they were corrupt. No wonder the approval rate of congress is about to hit single digits. Maybe after the break they will do something worthwhile - like investigate Pelosi's botox injections!
