The Rogue Stitch

From a U.S. District Court, Judge Sim Lake presiding:

Ok, so this is a shot of Kenneth Lat testifying before Congress. But doesn't it look better than those cheesy courtroom drawings?



Kenny Boy's on the stand this week, and the cross-examination has been sweet. Government prosecutor John Hueston seemed to irk the Elmer Fudd lookalike on a couple different occasions. My favorite part of the testimony:

Hueston: Have you ever engaged in character assassination?
Lay: Are you considering yourself in that league?
Hueston: I am a U.S. Attorney, that is my job. You can call me anything you want.

Keeping it real, folks, at its finest.

For all you've ever wanted to know regarding the trial, check out the Houston Chronicle's website, where you'll find photos, court documents, profiles, timelines, prosecution scorecard, forum, and everything else in the kitchen sink.

In other news, Barry Bonds hit No. 711 off of Mets closer Billy Wagner today in the bottom of the 9th--to tie the game. Mets won, though, in 11, so all is forgiven. Unfortunately, this proves that Bonds can still hit a 99mph fastball.

At least the most despicable player in the game had something nice to say about Wagner and the Mets:

I haven't hit a ball like that off him ever. Ever.... It was a big boost for us because it tied the game. They came back and beat us. It shows what kind of team they are. We played good against them. Right now, they're probably one of the best teams on the East.

You're close, Barry; they are the best in the East.
