I can't believe he hasn't been nailed for witness tampering for talking to the Canseco's nanny.

i find it really wrong that he's been allowed to personally lobby congress/schmooze around the capitol building

". . . these are the people who will decide whether Clemens is lying with his denials or McNamee is lying with his allegations. They are judge and jury when it comes to deciding if the case should be referred to the Justice Department for possible perjury charges. Yet they welcomed Clemens into their sanctuaries to meet and greet — and to have staff members get autographs and have pictures taken with Clemens, the seven-time Cy Young Award winner. Imagine a murder trial in a state or federal court. A jury is selected, and in the days before the trial is scheduled to begin, the defendant meets privately with the jurors."

". . .But Edolphus Towns made it seem inappropriate after his half-hour meeting with Clemens. A Democratic representative from Brooklyn, Towns emerged from the meeting a Clemens supporter, saying he had essentially concluded that Clemens was believable and that McNamee, whom he had not met with, was weird."

Now comes the hard part for this right-wing zealot: The Republicans could have shown up with big bozo shoes and clown noses and they would not have looked sillier. They were uninformed, unprofessional, and hopelessly star struck. They carried themselves with less dignity than Dr. Phil. They did everything but hang Ks from the wall when Clemens completed a sentence.

Report: Man has photo of Clemens at disputed Canseco party

ESPN.com news services


The 1998 party at Jose Canseco's house in Miami may have started out as a gathering of friends and family. It has turned into an event worthy of congressional testimony and a source of "evidence."

There is a photo of Roger Clemens at Canseco's house during the June 1998 party, according to the New York Daily News -- a photo that would contradict Clemens' sworn testimony that he never attended the party.

Richard Emery, one of the lawyers for Clemens' former trainer, Brian McNamee, said he was aware of the existence of the photo. "We have reason to believe it's reliable evidence," Emery told the Daily News. "We believe there's photographic evidence that shows Clemens was at a party he says he wasn't at."

The event is a key point in the steroids investigation involving Clemens. It is mentioned in the Mitchell report, and was a focal point during the Feb. 13 hearing before the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.

In the Mitchell report, Brian McNamee, Clemens' former trainer, said he witnessed Canseco, Clemens and a third, unidentified person talking together, but did not overhear the conversation. McNamee said that some time after the party, "Clemens approached [him] and, for the first time, brought up the subject of using steroids," according to the report.

The crux of the issue is whether Clemens was present at the party, which was hosted by Canseco for his Toronto Blue Jays teammates and their families while they were in town for a series against the Florida Marlins.

Clemens has repeatedly denied being at Canseco's house for that event. But a young man has a photo of Clemens at the party, according to the Daily News. The man was just 11 years old at the time of the party, taking photos of various baseball players.

McNamee has testified that he clearly recalls Clemens, his wife, nanny and children at Canseco's party, including describing the nanny as wearing a peach bikini and board shorts.

Clemens' lawyer, Rusty Hardin, has said he turned over evidence to congressional lawyers, including an affidavit from Canseco, proving Clemens didn't attend Canseco's party.

The House committee is still debating on the next step regarding the steroids investigation. Sources have told the Daily News that they expect the committee to refer the entire matter, not just the Clemens investigation, to the Justice Department.

"We haven't heard anything one way or the other," Hardin told the Daily News.

The Daily News has learned that in the days since the Feb. 13 public hearing on steroids in baseball, another major leaguer has informed congressional investigators that Clemens often joked in the clubhouse about a memorable account of the party - a scene in which Debbie Clemens and Canseco's ex-wife Jessica compared the results of their surgical breast enhancements.
