Well I don’t think any of us expected to here this tonight, assuming that the whole Barry Bonds baseball scandal had come and gone. Unfortunately for Bonds, it didn’t. It was announced late this afternoon that he’s been indicted on four counts of federal perjury and one count of obstruction of justice. He could get five years on each of the perjury counts alone. The government has probably pulled out some star witnesses to actually go ahead with this thing. It looks like OJ Simpson isn’t going to be the only big trial we’ll all be watching in the future.
The funniest quote I’ve seen about the whole thing so far is “The President is very disappointed to hear about this.” I’m picturing him sitting in a dark barely lit room as an aide comes in and whispers the news solemnly in his ear, afterwards he slowly lowers his head gently into his hand and with a single tear flowing down his cheek, quietly utters the word “Why” to no one in particular.
SI: - Bonds Indicted
