"high praise for him/his honesty"
These are the very same members of Congress who praised Bud Selig to no end the last time they met. I'd hardly say their stamp of endorsement is worth squat. Unless, of course, one has a fan's blinded allegiance and is looking to cherry-pick anything positive and dismiss or deny everything else.
Ironic, isn't it, that a guy who begged not to have to testify under oath before that committee, who lied repeatedly about never cheating/doping, then when busted in the Mitchell Report, lied again, then when put under deposition admitted the first set of post-Mitchell Report comments were lies, who would pimp out his own father to score his cheating/doping products for him, gets referred to as the big winner of the day for his honesty.
If Pettitte was even remotely as "innocent" as he continues to try to con everyone, then is it even remotely plausible that Pettitte had but a single conversation with his wife about Clemens? Is it plausible that had but a single conversation with Clemens? These guys sweated and worked out day after day after day together, not only in the most intimate of settings, but also in what is otherwise an environment characterized by tedium and boredom. When you and a workout partner are doing 4 hours workouts, out of sheer boredom you talk about everything and anything in your lives. You especially talk about everything you're doing related to training, eating, sleeping, etc. To swallow the notion that these guys didn't talk in detail and at length, repeatedly about this stuff is a fairy tale that boggle my mind people swallow whole. Especially if one of them was on the full program (and benefitting from it) and the other was not.
Pettitte has demonstrated his willingness to lie by telling only a fraction of the truth, obviously for the same sort of reason McNamee kept telling only a fraction of the story. Why expose yourself, your friends, your teammates, etc. to more scrutiny than necessary? was obviously his rationalization.
I'm sure there were similar rationalizations for asking his dad to cop his score for him.
It would be funny if it weren't so sad.
