Deadspin
In what seemed like a clumsily orchestrated ambush against former pitcher Roger Clemens after the Daily News' odd "Raj-diddled-a-15-year-old" story yesterday, the woman behind the affair, "troubled" country singer Mindy McCready has held a press conference to say she stands by what the NYDN wrote.
"I cannot refute anything in the story. Yes, I have known Roger Clemens for a long time. He's a kind and caring man. He's also a legendary athlete."
Since her life has been one big Burning Bed for the last few years, you hate to completely piss all over McCready's non-refute, but why are so many people taking this woman seriously? If this story came out four years ago she would have about as much credibility as a deranged homeless person who wears shoes made out of soda cans and has pockets full of dead pigeons. What's changed?
Oh yeah: Roger. The fact that Clemens has not admitted he took steroids, that means he HAS to also be a hilllbilly chlid molester too, right?
I have a feeling that if Brian McNamee's lawyer keeps pressing this issue — and actually does ">subpoena McCready for the upcoming defamation suit — it completely makes him look like even more of an opportunistic little shit bird. It appears Mindy McCready is just another old, bloody tissue that McNamee just so happened to stumble upon when it was convenient for him.
And, seriously, is Clemens' lawyer, Rusty Hardin, the worst attorney ever? This guy should've been fired 15 times since December.
UPDATE:Here's an email from a person claiming to be some sort of relative who disagrees with the whole "she's a lying crazy lady" portion of this post:
You seemed to imply in your post about Mindy McCready today that she was somehow making this up...
My mom is cousins with Mindy's stepmother. I've spent Christmases in Ft. Myers with Mindy. I've been out to dinner with Mindy's dad, Tim, many, many times. My cousin is employed by Mindy's dad.
It's all true.
I wouldn't be surprised if Mindy leaked the story to the press herself as she is probably the most cold-blooded, attention-seeking, self-promoting person I've ever met. She may be an emotionally-damaged person as you labeled her in your post but she's also manipulative and prettly much always looking out for number one.
Mindy's dad, Tim, is raising her son in FL. Mindy hasn't seen the kid in at least a year yet a couple months ago she was on "Extra" pimping herself out talking about how her son is the most important thing in her life.
The only thing Mindy cares about is self-promotion and if she's lucky, getting back on the County Fair concert circuit.

Cue the VH1 reality show in 3...2...1..
Is Josh Beckett going to hook up with Miley Cyrus?? Just a rumor I heard.
Somewhere Jose Canseco coughs a bong rip out his nose laughing.
That's nothing. I had an affair with Mike McCready for a decade and nyou don't hear me squawking about it. The man knows how to work more than just a guitar...
I never have any luck finding the chlid.
Um, because it has to do with possible statutory rape, Balls. This reflects on Roger's created image of American hero/best pitcher of his generation/family man, and digs him in an even deeper hole after his crappy performance in Congressional Kabuki Theatre.
Oh, and also because if the NYDN found out that Barry Bonds might have diddled an underage girl, she would be credible.
If Kimberly Bell is credible, so is Mindy McCready -- especially considering what's implied here.
Show us on the doll where The Rocket touched you?
Have you heard any of her music? She has a song asking for the help of angels in not being a big ho. Clearly, the angels weren't helpful when Roger came a'callin.
really, who among us hasn't aspired to be a a hilllbilly child molester?
Confirming affairs?
Guys do it all the time.
-McCready'd.
@Big Daddy Drew: Even Flow, indeed.
Lionel Hutz > Rusty Hardin
/ speaking of Lionel ... Messi is on in 15 minutes
Is the Rusty Hardin anything like the Rusty Trombone?
Nothing says "credible legal representation" like a giant Rusty Hardin pulling what looks like a rolling suitcase.
"I cannot refute anything in the story. Yes, I have known Roger Clemens for a long time. He's a kind and caring man. He's also a legendary athlete."
Dude... this is one step removed from being an ESPN Featured Comment.
Balls, stories like these help to explain why 15 year old girls because mentally unstable drug addicts.
@theothermatt: Now, do you mean a molester of hillbilly children, or a hillbilly who molests children?
Ya but did he keep her in the basement and father his own grandchildren. I think not.
@Big Daddy Drew: What, he couldn't find a Better Man?
/shows self out
@Lady Andrea: A think a Rusty Hardin is a problem the Tin Man had.

Emotionally Damaged Crazy Lady Confirms Affair With Clemens
wait. my cokewhore exgf had an affair w/ roger clemens. what?
Her best friend Leslie said 'oh she's just being Mindy'
@Signal to Noise: Don't let reason interfere with enjoying Coorslightspin
I throw inside and I'll rattle your brain.
When I on the mound I act like a man insane.
For power from the hill,
McNamee will give me a pill,
Goodness, Gracious I throw great balls of fire.
To be fair, she thought she was really having sex with Skidmark.
@Big Daddy Drew: I think Mike is a guitar god, but I still cracked a laugh at that one.
On a similar note, I hate it when I read a music story about this lady's crazy antics and the headline just says "McCready". I nearly get a heart attack each time.
@futuremrsrickankiel: I think that actually qualifies. All that it's missing is the "--CreepyMcCreadyJB15" at the end.
Thing is, she is carrying Colin Finnerty's baby.
Yes*
*(no way in hell)
@David Hume: I was going w/option A, but I'm sure there are some who be happy w/B
Dr. Gonzo > Rusty Hardin.
@Greek McPapadopoulos: "Heart attack"? Methinks it's time to take a little vacation from Synergy...
Hell naw that aint no statue-tory rape. That damn girl was fertile. Just look at her.
/ Texas sheruff
@Spectacular Sam: does this mean Big Daddy Drew dreams in color?
@futuremrsrickankiel: It certainly qualifies under the "spoken or written by someone who's out of their mind."
@Carlton_Whitfield: its a document holder, but it does not lessen its comedy.
@Proverbial: praise the Texas Teenage Lover and pass the Colorado Kool-Aid.
dee eye oh vee are see eee....
Emotionally damaged crazy lady really doesn't do a lot to differentiate her from a lot of other women, like my wife for instance
@Matt_T: Mindy Being Mindy
@Barry Lutz: You got me with my exaggeration. Maybe it's just an "oh shit" reaction. Heart attacks are reserved for LSU football games.
Somehow, this is all Genarlow Wilson's fault.
She can still feel the burn from the Icy Hot.

"...I just talked to Debbie Mindy. She's okay with it.She's speechless."
@ChitownChick: She also has a song about the Coors Light Cooler Pack with the plastic bottles.
wait a minute... where'd that come from?
Well at least now we know where that Miller Lite can came from.
Kidding.
Rednecks enjoy Busch, not Miller Lite.
Meanwhile, in a darken bedroom somewhere in Westchester, Suzyn Waldman slices deeper into her thigh with the razor blade.
The fact that Clemens has not admitted he took steroids, that means he HAS to also be a hilllbilly chlid molester too, right?
No, the fact that he had sex with a 15-year-old means he's a hillbilly child molester.
@dont-forget-where-you-came-from-cheese mac: way to fucking phonetically/musically spell, genius.
@That-Dude: He just robbed the tiny city of Houston of all its legal documents.
seeing as my name is Raj, I'm a bit confused by the article accusing me of "diddling" a 15 year old...not that there's anything wrong with it
