Today, Congress took the first step in rebuilding its shattered and useless carcass by boldly charging someone for lying to them and their investigators. Indeed, the Congressional carcass was seen feebly standing up on its own after proudly announcing the indictment of Houston Astros shortstop Miguel Tejada for lying about a conversation he had with a friend.
According to the Washington Post reporters, lying to Congress about steroid use is simply unacceptable.
The charges also signal that prosecutors are serious about holding athletes accountable for their statements to Congress.
When asked about being lied to about weapons of mass destruction, warrant-less wiretapping, torture, the use of TARP funds, or the U.S. Attorney scandal, the Congressional carcass promptly collapsed back to the floor and flumped up its own putrid dust cloud. Flies in the area converged but quickly dropped from the air and convulsed on the ground. And the vultures circling overhead didn't even bother to look twice.
