Burton casts McNamee as a "liar, disgusting"

Posted by Gordon Edes, Globe Staff February 13, 2008 11:37 AM

Rep. Dan Burton (R., Ind.) used his turn to get McNamee to admit to numerous untruths, then said, "I don't know what to believe, but I know I don't believe you.''

He called McNamee a liar, Clemens a "baseball titan," referred to the proceedings as "really disgusting," and railed against "trial by media."

  1. sounds like Burton is trying to get a signed Clemens jersey after the hearings....

  1. Burton is total garbage. No credibility at all. No sense in searching for the truth. He's a jerk.

  1. Burton asks McNamee how he could keep syringes, etc. Doesn't he see that if he didn't keep this stuff, that it would be Roger's word against his? What a buffoon! McNamee saved it because he knew that this would eventually come out and he is protecting his butt!

  1. Burton has a long history of being an idiot.

  1. it was the most one sided diarrhea that I have ever heard. His only goal was to try and make Roger look like a hero and he totally mis-credited himself along with making Roger look foolish. McNamee had him eating out of his hands.
