Congress pulling up it's sleeves and getting to work. Begins investigations...

[ck4829]

Of baseball player.

"Congress began its public examination of the Mitchell Report into baseball's steroids era by calling Tuesday for the Justice Department to look into whether former AL MVP Miguel Tejada lied to committee staffers when questioned in connection to the Rafael Palmeiro perjury case in 2005.

At a House Oversight and Government Reform Committee hearing in the same room where Palmeiro, Mark McGwire and others testified three years ago, congressmen mixed criticism of baseball and its players with praise for commissioner Bud Selig and union head Donald Fehr for progress in the sport's drug-testing program.

"The illegal use of steroids and performance-enhancing drugs was pervasive for more than a decade, Major League Baseball was slow and ineffective in responding to the scandal, and the use of human growth hormone has been rising," said committee chairman Henry Waxman, a California Democrat."

Why don't we investigate WHIG and the Office of Special Plans before we investigate baseball for a change?

3. A lot safer than investigating the administration that's killing our

country. It won't cost them campaign contributions.

4. If they found out that Bush takes steroids, they'd shut this investigation down!

5. What a joke our government is.
