Clemens to Be Saved by Rep Weiner's Prioritization Skills?

DELIRIUM CLEMENS Anthony, Roger
Anthony Weiner is fed up with this fuss over Roger Clemens lying to Congress, what with so many other more important things going on in the world. And being a congressman himself, he's not just going to sit around and do nothing about it. Ergo this thoughtful letter telling the FBI to not waste one precious moment investigating whether Clemens perjured himself before Congress. Though the note appears to have been written by a staffer in about 30 seconds for the sole purpose of justifying a press release and phone call to the Daily News, Weiner's point is succinctly made: "Whether or not Roger Clemens may have committed perjury should not compete with real national security threats for the FBI's time, attention, and resources."

An interesting point, though made by a renowned press whore who, just within the last few months, has spent his own taxpayer-funded time defending America by pushing legislation to create special fast-track visas for supermodels and speechifying on the House floor about what a traitor Rudy Giuliani is because he rooted for the Red Sox in the World Series. Next time, Congressman, maybe just write a letter to your pals in Congress who want to hold a frivolous hearing in the first place? They're just down the hallway! It would be appreciated by many, including the FBI agents who might be rescued from the time-wasting hassle of enforcing the law against lying under oath to Congress.
