Roger Clemens Gets A World Class Drilling

LeitchLeitch|published: Fri 4th January, 11:40 2008

There's something kind of awesome about Mike Wallace's questioning of Roger Clemens on "60 Minutes," set to air this Sunday. Clemens uses the tired, repeatedly discredited "it was just B-12!" alibi, and boy, does Wallace ever get after him.

Here's the transcript:


When asked by Wallace if McNamee had ever injected him with any drugs, Clemens responds: "Lidocaine and B-12. It's for my joints, and B-12 I still take today." Clemens calls the accusation "ridiculous" and says he "never" used any banned substances. "Swear?" asks Wallace. "[I] swear," says Clemens.

See, now this is how you become a legend in the world of journalism: By asking probing questions like that one. We respect Wallace's ability to resist following up with "pinkie swear?"
