So Roger Clemens wants to go on “60 Minutes” to refute the allegations in the Mitchell Report? And let me get this straight…the Rocket’s handlers requested Mike Wallace do the interview? The same Mike Wallace who can rip people of far superior intelligence than Clemens to shreds if he wants to?

Obviously, this smells like a setup. Wallace has Massachusetts roots and is supposedly a big Red Sox fan. I’m guessing Rocket Roger’s handlers have gotten concessions as to the questions asked, perhaps even getting the questions ahead of time. There’s no other way this makes any sense.

If Wallace were to do his typical hatchet job on Clemens, it would be an intellectual mismatch of epic proportions…Tyson vs. Spinks, so to speak. The Mike Wallace I’ve seen in action would not only make the Texas Con Man look guilty of the performance enhancing drug accusations, but he’d probably get him to admit to the Lindbergh kidnapping and to being the second gunman in the grassy knoll.

Naturally, I’ll watch. But I have a hunch this interview will leave us with more questions than answers.

That’s the view from here…how do you see it? Why would Clemens subject himself to an interview on a show with a great reputation for investigative journalism? Why would he ask for an attack dog like Wallace? Do you think he’s really innocent and trying to clear his name? Or is this a setup with softball questions galore?
