Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig Caught Digging For Gold

Former Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell told Congress on Tuesday that Major League Baseball's players and owners must come together "in a well-planned, well-executed and sustained effort" to remove steroids from the national pastime.

In reply, Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig said that he may be able to reach an agreement with the players' union within the next few months on Mitchell's call for independent testing of players for banned drugs.

Too bad Selig wasn't as careful with photographers as he was with his testimony. He was caught digging around in his nose. Click here for the unflattering shots.

This isn't news. If he'd picked somebody else's, that might be news.

He's gone from a figurehead to a figurenose. Is this Nostrilgate? I'm glad the team owner's hadn't removed all his powers. It's an assumption he was picking his nose. Maybe he was putting something in his nose.

[JakeEasy]

What the #@%*!.

This is news. This is what HuffPo considers important. How juvenile. How stupid. How sad.

Huffington Post has become a joke.

Big deal...

Now, if you had photos of him picking it and eating it, then we'd have a story.

As anyone who saw his testimony knows, Selig was demonstrating intranasal ingestion of powdered steroid compounds, a technique preferred by athletes who wish to avoid the track marks that can arise from even gluteal injection.

Please check your facts before resorting to ridicule.

I am disgusted and embarressed that our Congress thinks baseball is something they should be investigating. There are way, way bigger fish to fry than this!

[DontSpin]

Why in heaven's hell is this a topic for discussion on this site?

[CalculatedRiskTaker]

I heard he is a Romney supporter.

[edresearcher]

This could be a decent story except for your National Inquirer-like headline. And this is on the front page, HuffPo? In a year as important as 2008, shouldn't we be discussing a few more urgent issues?
