Henry Waxman misses opportunity for amusement
If Henry Waxman had a sense of humor, he would have shut up Roger Clemens by banging his shoe on the table rather than using his gavel.
(I was 9 days old when this picture was taken. So I don't remember watching it . . . unlike today's proceedings, unfortunately.)

My grandfather used to call me Krushchev when I was a baby - I supposedly bore a slight resemblence to everyone's favorite communist before the age of one. Hey, if I had to look like the head of the evil empire, at least it was one of the less evil leaders. Thankfully my looks evolved. I doubt I would have married if I maintained that look and lived outside the Soviet bloc, but I do worry about my looks when I hit 65.
On the subject of the hearings, I couldn't agree with you more on just about everything you wrote. Thankfully, I was not forced to watch too much of it, but the day certainly reinforced my cynical attitude towards politicians. On Friday night, Bill Moyers noted how we are coming dangerously close to losing our inherited freedoms on account of our propensity to give our full attention to these unimportant matters. While the Congressmen are styling for the camera on the subject of HGH in baseball, others are behind closed doors mismanaging a war, allowing corporations to crush competition, and passing legislation mortgaging our financial futures. I can't imagine James Madison, Roger Sherman, and Gouvernor Morris approving of what they saw today.
Bill Moyers is lecturing us on losing our precious freedoms? The guy who did the infamous daisy commercial in 1964? The guy who has made himself rich off taxpayer-funded PBS? What's next, Chris Russo complaining about people mispronouncing words?
Moyers is a leftist crank with little grasp of the world around him, excepting what he hears on NPR.
