Three Questions About Mark McGwire

#1) Now that McGwire has admitted to taking illegal steroids and lying about it, even perjuring himself before Congress, will he be prosecuted? Or is that treatment reserved for Barry Bonds?

"The toughest thing is my wife, my parents, close friends have had no idea that I hid it from them all this time,"

#2) Really? He really thinks he HID his steroid use? Really?

This is how you look when you're hiding steroid use? Pretty sneaky, sis!

#3) Why was everyone willing to take McGwire's word for it all these years that he was not using steroids? Why was that courtesy extended to McGwire but not Bonds? (Not that Bonds deserved it either)

I know people will say it's because Barry Bonds is kind of a jerk, but it's not like McGwire is exactly a fun guy either. He has a well-earned reputation for surliness. But for some reason, the sports media decided that Mark McGwire was the all-American hero and Bonds was just some overpriveleged punk. I would hate to think that that was based on skin color, but I don't know what else to think.
