Honestly, we at the MachoChip headquarters thought yesterday’s Mitchell Report congressional hearings would’ve been a bigger circus that it turned out to be. With that big a stage, anyone from Jimmy Carter to Morganna the Kissing Bandit could’ve walked in and we would’ve turned to one another and nodded knowingly. Alas, nothing threatening happened.

That’s why we were saddened when we found out Jose Canseco wasn’t allowed into the hearings, even though he was the one who kicked this whole thing off with his book… which he was there to promote. In the halls of Congress. We wish were kidding.

Castiglione: Jose, did they not let you in?
Canseco: I guess not.
Castiglione: Do you think you got this started with your book?
Canseco: It would be pretty obvious I guess. I don’t know.
Castiglione: What brought you here?
Canseco: I’m in town to sign my book.
Castiglione: Clemens is allegedly on this list does that surprise you?
Canseco: No. Absolutely not.

More after the jump

Castiglione: Pettitte is allegedly on the list. Does that surprise you? Canseco: Who knows?
Castiglione: How about the credibility of the list?
Canseco: I believe they’re going to leave off lots of players. That’s what I believe.
Castiglione: Why would you come to Senator Mitchell’s press conference to sign a book deal?
Canseco: No hablo ingles.

Yeah, no shit. No wonder sometimes we can’t understand what’s coming out of his mouth.
