Congressional Hearings

Today baseball's brass, including the Commissioner, Donald Fehr from the players' union, are testifying on the hill.

I intended to pay little or no attention to anything coming out of the hearings.  However, this morning I decided to get a little breakfast down the road.  Driving back, I heard these excerpts from today's testimony.

Unidentified Congressman:  Something about did Palmieri knowingly take steroids before his *300th* hit?

Same nincompoop:  Mr. Sellick is to be congratulated on his attention to the matters.

Let's see.  Members don't know the names of the people involved.  Or can't pronounce them.  These are our national leaders.  I say don't worry about baseball, worry about Congress.
