From a Republican friend and Red Sox fan:

The fact that any GOP House member joined Henry Waxman in his Soviet-style show trial/publicity stunt is disgraceful. Clemens has been dead to me since he went to play for the American League team from NY (the one that hasn’t won a World Championship this century). I’ve joyfully rooted against him for close to a decade, but enough is enough. If he took steriods then Bud Selig can do something about it. What ever happened to those enumerated powers… locate a post office, defend the nation from foreign enemies (apparently not illegal aliens), coin money…? It’s no wonder the GOP continues to suffer in the polls. We’ve gone from the party that wanted to shut down the departments of education and energy to the party that supports Henry Waxman in his quest to determine whether or not Jose Canseco ever took steroids.
