Deadspin
I guess the lesson is that you don't come into Henry Waxman's house talking smack. Just hours after Congress recommended that Roger Clemens' testimony be examined by the Justice Department, the FBI announced that it has begun investigating whether the pitcher lied to Congress when he denied taking steroids.
FBI agents in Washington opened the case a little more than two weeks after both Clemens and McNamee appeared at the same House hearing on Feb. 13, each accusing the other of lying. "The request to open an investigation on the congressional testimony of Roger Clemens has been turned over to the FBI and will receive appropriate investigative action by the Washington Field Office," said FBI spokeswoman Debra Weierman.
Meanwhile, the Astros are distancing themselves. This is going to get a lot uglier before it gets better.

If the butt does not bleed, you must concede.
Is it lunchtime again?

And fondled his muscled heart.
He imbibed her glistening spell
Just before the other shoe fell."

I think he misremembered lying to congress is a felony
The Other Shoe Drops...
"Alright, testicles, you're next!"

Couldn't the FBI have just waited another 15 minutes and announced that they had concluded their investigation too?
His next argument is going to be he's lived in Texas so long that he no longer understands English well enough to testify.
Wake me when Clemens is dragged out of his house in cuffs. Of course, he will be shirtless at the time.

Really? Because I'm of the opinion that it's almost at the point where I need to make some popcorn and get into my fat pants...
@UkraineNotWeak: Nah. Wife beater with a chili stain on the front.
RC-"Honey, the guys are pushing me hard to lie in front of Congress."
DC-"Are you serious?"
RC-"Just say the word and I'll tell the truth."
DC-*silence*
RC-"Guys, I'm gonna commit perjury! She was so happy, she was speechless!"
Hey Roger,
Come talk to me when you get here. I know these Mexicans.

Check out the pic - he's already practicing the "shield my face from the cameras" move for the courthouse steps.

@UkraineNotWeak: That would be the ultimate episode of Cops, wouldn't it?
I also think he would have been better off with Lionel Hutz as his lawyer.
@Jefferson Short Bus: Beers, steers and queers.

I hope he remains able to pitch for the Astros, because I fear life as we know it will end once the last player standing from R.B.I. Baseball retires.

Cost to go after Clemens > Cost to shoot down spy sattelite
Am I saying we should take clemens out with a missle? Don't be silly! Why, you got one?
The NSA just let out a $24 billion contract on the use of third ears as a listening device.
howdy, Pardon-er
send him to guantanamo
Is there an investigation in to whether the trainer lied? There isn't? Oh...Clemens is screwed. Pucker up jack ass!
Indiana rep. Dan Burton thinks that Roger will be a titan of the prison system.
@Secret Identity: I would say Tim Johnson, since Cleland is no longer an active Senator.
