Apparently GHWB felt Mitchell was responsible for misleading him back in 1990 on details of the tax negotiations which led to GHWB breaking the "no new taxes" pledge in order to get support for other pressing issues. As Casey said "You can look it up". No love lost between GHWB and Mitchell.

He said a former President had called to support him. It was probably George HW Bush from Houston. Maybe the Bushes of TX put a little pressure on their Republican counterparts to go after mcnamee I think the the other reason for the party break may have to do one comment Clemens made.

Clemens-Jose Canseco,Canseco's Ex-Wife,and Clemens wife who Clemens left to take Clemens mistakes. The Republicians(Clemens is a big supporter) treated Clemens like a King and only talked about Mcnamee lieing not Pettitte or Knoublach testimony.WAxman made sure some of the blame was in Clemens direction.Also the Tennesse Democrats were ggod.

Normally, I think Burton and Issa are corrupt fools but they made valid points today and the Democrats looked like jerks. As someone who has followed and cheered on Waxman's probes into Halliburton etc. it was very disaappointing to see that he is completely unobjective, petty, power hungry, and plain dishonest. I agree with randy l that the apology to McNamee, a rapist and drug dealer for some lame a$$ questioning that wasnt tough by any standard was laughable. if i was from a different country and knew nothing about the political parties, i would have thought that the majority of those with “R”’s next to their name were the ones with integrity and common sense.

Are we supposed to believe that McNamee would risk his $100K a year gig with Roger by injecting his wife without Roger’s approval? No way. He wasn’t allowed to bring beer to the house, but he will inject the guy’s wife. I don't buy it. To me the turning point was Debbie admiting to using HGH and having McNamee inject her.
