In Which Roger Clemens Goes OJ

After a fashion, at least.
“The lead attorney for Roger Clemens said Tuesday night that he and other attorneys working for his firm have begun their own investigation into allegations that link Clemens to the use of steroids and human growth hormone.”
Presumably they will start with Brian McNamee and show him pictures of butts that look like Clemens’, and ask him if he might be mistaken with regard to his Mitchell testimony.
Also, in a PR move that I don’t think will have the, um, juice that Clemens hopes it will, the details on the corpse of Mike Wallace handling Clemens’ interview for 60 Minutes are coming to the front. This quote from the 89-year-old Wallace is instructive:
“When we went down there to profile him, we went to his home, I watched him exercise, I watched him work out and he became my friend,” Wallace said. “He trusts me and is going to talk to me and I hope he can answer all the questions on my mind.”
Gee. THAT sounds like the prelude to one mother-fuckin’ hard-chargin’ take-no-prisoners interview…
