Washington, DC — What a joke: the baseball executives all made fools of themselves and their sport during congressional hearings today. Hour after hour the bullshitting, the half-truths and the pretending continued until MSNBC simply decided to keey carrying it live, even preempting Hardball.
These baseball carneys — especially Bud Selig — were on the run all day, and credit MSNBC for realizing the news value of watching a sinking ship go down.
As soon as Mark McGwire pled the fifth, things got even more interesting — and the hearing’s still going at 830pm EST. 
These guys were almost as bad as the infamous tobacco executives’ appearance in the 90’s — when they said there was no evidence smoking causes cancer. Pathetic performance. And Barry Bonds — what a pompous asshole. Where is he hiding?
Football is where it’s at — always was, and always will be.
