ON Monday, Fat Willard pointed out "MSM has an uncomfortable infatuation with Clemens' ass."

Reader PRing points out, that the Washington Post has joined the likes of Fox Sports & The Trentonian with their clever, derriere-related headline today:


A few of the first paragraphs are priceless:

At the invitation of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, the Rocket, a seven-time Cy Young winner, had come to Washington to testify about his role in baseball's steroids scandal. And lawmakers hit him where the sun doesn't shine.

"Just for the record, as I understand it, there was an injury on Mr. Clemens's buttocks," said Chairman Henry Waxman (D-Calif.), and "the injury was related to an injection."

Rep. Stephen Lynch (D-Mass.) wanted to know more about "the palpable mass on his buttocks."

Rep. Tom Davis (R-Va.), recalling that Clemens suffered "soreness," asked the witness: "Do you recall any bleeding through your pants in 2001?"

This one is a double-doosey.

Note the picture's caption: "Several House Republicans on the panel, such as Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-N.C.), didn't appear to think Roger Clemens was a bum."
