Hollywood Gossip and Political Hoopla

Poking around, I haven’t seen any word of a reaction yet from any specific player who’s name appears in the dreaded Mitchell Report (dum dum dummmm) which I guess makes the following an exclusive. We’ve got never before seen images of Roger Clemens, probably the biggest name outed in the report besides Barry Bonds, immediately after learning that he had been named in the report.

Flying into a rage upon hearing the news, Clemens proceeded to smash an object that we can’t identify due to that weird BAM effect the camera picked up. He then roared mightily at his handlers who scurried from the room. I want to thank our very own Unknown Photographer for once again providing us with yet another set of exclusive, breaking news photos.

Obviously, he is a very unhappy man.

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
