North Carolina’s own 5th District Rep. Virginia “Ginny” Foxx gets ridiculed by Boston Globe sports columnist Dan Shaughnessy this morning after many (mostly Republican) House members fawned over Roger Clemens yesterday, buying his story about not taking performance-enhancing drugs, instead of his former trainer’s testimony:

There was plenty more jock-sniffing. Representative Danny K. Davis,
Democrat of Illinois, told Roger, “It was a pleasure meeting you last
week.” Representative William Lacy Clay, Democrat of Missouri, asked
Roger what uniform he plans to wear into the Hall of Fame.
Representative Virginia Foxx, Republican of North Carolina, produced
four photographs of Clemens, a progression dating to his Red Sox days,
and insisted, “You appear to be the same size.”

Good observation, Ginny. That’s like saying Michael Jackson’s
features haven’t changed since he posed for the cover of “Thriller.”

Hope they all have their autographed Rocket jerseys. Too bad they didn’t bother to read Andy Pettitte’s deposition.
