You probably also know that he was one of the spotlighted major league ball players who testified in front of a congressional committee last spring about steroids and swore under oath that he had never used steroids.It appears Congress is up in arms about Palmeiro's sudden positive test.
Tuesday night, committee chairman Rep. Thomas Davis, R-Va., spoke by telephone with Palmeiro to inform him of the committee's plan to investigate the veracity of his testimony. "He stayed with that story," Davis told the Washington Post. "I said, 'Raffy, you understand we have an obligation to pursue this, because you testified to us under oath,' and there is some question now as to how long (the steroid) had been in his system" at the time of the positive test.
Interesting. Perjury by a guy that plays games for a living is an important matter for congress to investigate. Did Dick Lugar call John Bolton after his lies in front of the Senate committee were exposed and say "Johnny, you understand we have an obligation to pursue this, because you testified to us under oath?" I'm sure I would have heard about it if he did.
Did Dick call Condi after her confirmation hearings and say "Condi, you understand we have an obligation to pursue this, because you testified to us under oath?"
How many other Bush administration officials have perjured themselves in front of congressional committees and were not even given a second thought?
Outrage exhaustion is setting in for me. You can't even parody the Republicans anymore.
