Raffi Palmiero....you're killin' be buddy.....

[ClusterFreak]

....ah jeez....of all the guys up there this spring testifying on Cap Hill about 'Roids in baseball....Rafael Palmiero was the LAST guy I thought was on the juice....obviously, he was called to the Hill for a reason. Dang. Fuck...makes McGwire's "I don't want to talk about the past" shit look at least understandable...in terms of 'yeah, I did it, but I don't want to fucking talk about it"....I mean Palmiero went up there, and like a Boy Scout denounced 'Roids up and down, and swore up and down he was clean and that he'd do all he could do to help clean up baseball. Innocent till proven guilty and all that....but now's his chance.

1. Is he at a potential risk of perjury now? nt

[Renew Deal]

2. I was wondering the same thing.

He wouldn't be if he never touched the stuff. At the time, his statement may have been accurate, though I doubt it.

[ClusterFreak]

3. good question.....ya gotta wonder. n/t

[AlCzervik]

5. Was he under oath at the time? I don't know if that matters or not

but if he wasn't under oath then he probably won't face any legal problems.

4. I've missed everything but the headline.

Is there proof that he juiced?

[Walt Starr]

7. Yup, he's been suspended for 10 games.

He lied before Congress.

He could be in deep shit.

[ClusterFreak]

8. Proof...well, that's up to an appeal I guess to decide....

...MLB has suspended him anyway....

[Supersedeas]

6. During yesterdays game, WSox announcers went to great lengths to

explain how Raffi receive a personal telephone call of congratulations from his 'friend' President George W. Bush after Raffi's 3000th hit.

Wonder what Raffi's friend thinks now?

[ClusterFreak]

10. Raffi's friend is probably giving him advice on how to weasel out....

of his problem....Dubya probably gave him Karl's phone number for some advice....wait, maybe not such a good idea right now.....hey, how the fuck did this thread turn into a Bush/Rove thread!!!
:evilgrin: :bounce:

9. I said somethign similar right after the hearings.

Mark McGwire may have looked like a shit during the hearings, refusing to testify and all, but he's the ONLY one that will be protected from Perjury in the aftermath. After all, we all know that they ALL did steriods anyway. McGwire is the only one who didn't lie to Congress about it. Jesus Raphy, you'd think that after you lied to Congress, you'd stop doing it. What an idiot.

11. excellent point n/t

[Postman]

12. George Bush "setting the tone" in D.C. - - - tone= Lie with a smile

WHo da thunk you could lie to Congress?????
