    Richert Tells It Like It Is

    My colleague Kevin Richert, the editorial page editor of the Idaho Statesman, tells it like it is:

    The House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform on Wednesday asked the Justice Department to investigate whether Roger Clemens committed perjury during last month's hearing on steriod use in baseball. A day later, the FBI began investigating the case.

    Enough already.

    It is a relief to us all - although perhaps not to Clemens - that Congress has taken care of the economy, the deficit, the war on terror, immigration and global warming, thus freeing up time and resources for important matters of state.

    I couldn't agree more. Make sure to put Richert's blog on your bookmark list.

    Congress has a role to play here and it can do more than one thing at a time. Remember, Congress granted Organized Baseball an exemption from the Anti-Trust laws and if this investigation into organized cheating uncovers anything of substance, maybe Congress will do the correct thing and put Baseball under the Anti-Trust laws.
