Un-fucking-real . from Stark's blog. ] 2:09 p.m. ET Could the Rocket be investigated for illegal B-12 use, too? Sounds like it isn't out of the question, after Rep. Bruce Braley asked him whether he had been diagnosed with anemia, senile dementia or Alzheimer's. Or whether he was a vegetarian or a vegan. They were moving along nicely till the vegan stuff came up. "I don't know what that is," Clemens replied. "I'm sorry." Sheez, and we had him pegged as a closet vegan, too. Turns out, Braley informed him, those are the only approved medical reasons for anyone to get a B-12 injection. Really? Then blame Roger's mother. "My mother in 1988 suggested I take B-12," Clemens said. "I always assumed it was a good thing, not a bad thing." Fortunately, Rep. Darrell Issa jumped in to defend both Clemens' mother and B-12 -- and not a moment too soon. Issa said his own mother had taken B-12 shots, and that it couldn't hurt you and might help you. If that's the case, it's surprising no one has ever injected chicken soup on the advice of their mother.
