[QUOTE="CarlF, post: 2285359, member: 293462"] Roger Clemens? The United States if fighting two wars. The economy is going to hell in a hand-basket. Health-care is far from settled. We owe billions and billions to China and nobody cares about that. And Congress has its panties in a wad that an ego-maniacal former professional athlete might have actually lied to them. And the taxpayers are paying for a bunch of meetings about this. Am I the only person in the world who sees something wrong with this picture? Allow me to clarify. I am not trying to make light of the issue of lying. However, if Congress was actually concerned with solving issues rather than with "being important and/or getting re-elected" then we might actually get somewhere as a country. I guess I agree with some of the sentiment expressed here that it is laughable that they are getting all pious about it. Double standards in general tend to piss me off. [/QUOTE]
