"You Are a Drug Dealer"

Reps. Christopher Shays and Darrell Issa seemed to enjoyed calling McNamee "a drug dealer." Example:

Shays: "Are you a drug dealer?"
McNamee: "I just did what the players asked."
Shays: "Mr. McNamee, you are a drug dealer."
McNamee: "That's your opinion."

Waxman did jump in to point out that that players that took the drugs that McNamee dealt were also guilty of something.

Also worth noticing -- at one point, while Issa, I believe, was hammering at McNamee, we heard Clemens interject "he deceived me!" ... McNamee reacted with a wry smile.

I thought Clemens' "he deceived me" was interesting--isn't he claiming that he was never even "unknowingly" injected with steroids, that it was always B12?

Sure I will buy that McNamee was a drug dealer. No problem with that. Shays then unintentionally drives a nail in Clemens' coffin by implying that the players are complicitous (sp?) by being the second party in the illegal transasction. I would have liked Shays to have had a little more time to see how much deeper the hole could have been dug.

Dale, I believe the word you were looking for was simply "complicit."
