One of my favorite blogs mentioned it:

Changing the google search to "barry bonds clear" brought up a few more blogs which mentioned the Yahoo disclosure, including Lone Star Ball.

Barry Bonds is a dirty steroid cheater who ruined the game.

That's the media narrative and they're sticking to it. Facts? Evidence? Mitigating developments? Huh?

(double post deleted)

I'm still stunned that Clemens lying to Congress over steroids gets to a grand jury, but various Justice Department officials lying about torture, partisan hiring/firing decisions, and many other instances and illegalities that go to the heart of the American legal system gets nothing. Politicians (and the journalists who push the stories) have seriously effed up priorities.

You're stunned at this? You must be young.

Laws are only for the little people. (And pro athletes, despite their high salaries, are NOT part of the power structure of the country. Quite the contrary -- they make very, very easy targets when the authorities need to make the occasional show of applying the law to "elites".)

All I know is, I read the excerpt, and was stunned that Bruce Jenkins wrote a reasonable piece. Then I RTFA.

The angle I would like to see further details on is the supposed $55 million in expenditures. Many should be asking the question about the expenditures that from the beginning appears to have just had the intent of smearing Barry Bonds. Those that authorized these expenditures, and even those that asked for the money, should be no longer employed by taxpayer dollars in any capacity - if not facing some more serious consequences for abuse of their office. They are unnecessary and stupid.

look at the photo Lance Williams and the Chronicle used for their Bonds story. Just to help you make up your mind about his guilt, in case you had any doubts, I guess

Like the SF Paper didn't have access to anything else.

Not so young, but probably more naive than necessary. I understand people wanting to cover up their own crimes, but I can't grasp feckless elected Democrats who won't make a big deal out of massive corruption and law-breaking by members of the opposing party. It seems like a no-brainer politically.

America already got their witch, who needs justice?

Well, Roger Clemens turned me into a newt!

You got better.

There's an old joke: a newly elected Democratic congressman, talking to a more senior member of his party, points to a Republican congressman and says, "Look, there's the enemy." The senior Dem corrects him, saying, "No, that's the opposition; the Senate is the enemy."

The point is, politicians are not interested in ideology; they're interested in power. The way to the most power is not by fighting members of the other party, but by working with them.

Clemens problem is not that he's a fraud. It's that he's dumb. Thought he could do the normal public relations lie,yea, he'd be suspected of being a cheater, but better that than to confess and remove all doubt.

But should have known that Congress would be lookin to fry his roidridden butt if he dared to challenge a former member's- (Mitchell's) credibility, work, whatever. Yea, Selig lied thru his teeth about being ignorant of roids in face of incontrovertible evidence to the contrary, but Selig's the sob who paid Mitchell 20 mil.
