The Clemens, McNamee, Emery, Ward, Brueuer & Hardin Circus continued its tour through the nations capitol today with the following stunning revelation.
The congressmen better double up security for Wednesday's testimony. You can imagine how badly Clemens wants to fire heat back at McNamee now. Look what he did to Piazza for just digging in and having the nerve to hit a home run or two off the Rocket. He must literally and figuratively want to tear McNamee apart with his bare hands.
This is rapidly going from the ridiculous to the absurd and threatens to take whatever degree of seriousness the issue may have previously had right down into the cesspool.

February 8, 2008 -- Brian McNamee told staff members of a congressional committee on Thursday that he injected Roger Clemens' wife with human growth hormone, a source familiar with his testimony said today.
Debbie Clemens appeared in the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue with the pitcher in February 2003. McNamee, Roger Clemens' former trainer, told staffers of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee that he injected her with HGH as part of her efforts to get in condition for the photo shoot, the source said.

Daily News back page showed the 2003 Sports Illustrated photo in which Debbie Clemens appeared. Brian McNamee testified that the star pitcher's wife took HGH to get in shape for the shoot. Brian McNamee told congressional investigators Thursday that Roger Clemens' wife took human growth hormone before she appeared with the pitcher in Sports Illustrated's swimsuit issue in 2003, according to a Washington source.
"McNamee discussed his wife's use before the committee," according to the source. "She was trying to get in shape for the SI cover. He told them the story that Debbie took growth."
McNamee testified that he injected her at Roger Clemens' direction, according to the source. McNamee was speaking under oath before the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, which will hold a hearing on the Mitchell Report on steroid use in baseball Wednesday.
"I tell you what, guys," said Rusty Hardin, another of Clemens' attorneys. "This guy never ceases to amaze me. I think it reveals what he's really about. First, he throws out waste and then he wants to talk about this."
Debbie Clemens, who is active in charity work in Texas and designs high-end baseball-themed clothing, was one of several athlete's wives that appeared in pictorials in the 2003 swimsuit issue.
She discussed the photo shoot on her Web site.
"Roger came to me one day and told me that we had been asked to do a photo shoot for Sports Illustrated," Debbie Clemens recalls. "I had major anxiety! I was a 39-year-old mother of 4! Once I realized that this WAS going to be a reality, I decided I had to give it everything I had."
"My mind was set," Debbie Clemens continued. "I am not a risk taker, but have since learned that with great risk, sometimes comes great reward. The responses from that experience have been wonderful and I feel it was a turning point in my life. It's nice to have a goal for yourself and to see it through. The goal kept me motivated and focused. Using common sense and my ability to balance my life, I achieved that goal."
"This case to me is about science now," Emery said. "They're jumping to this manufactured-evidence defense, which is an admission that they expect a positive result."
Emery said McNamee kept the evidence because he feared Clemens might deny use if the issue ever came up.
