Cummings' brushback sends intended message
The hearing lasted nearly five hours, but Elijah Cummings could have ended it after one.
Rep. Cummings, a Maryland Democrat, brushed Roger Clemens back with an interrogation that destroyed what little credibility the seven-time Cy Young winner had remaining.
Trainer Brian McNamee had told investigators that he shot Clemens with steroids and HGH, accusations that are the linchpin of George Mitchell's report detailing the use of performance-enhancing substances in baseball.
