More news from the sordid Roger Clemens adultery story, his alleged mistress, messed up country star Mindy McCready basically confirmed that the two of them were together, telling the NY Daily News "I cannot refute anything in the story."
I'm not a lawyer (but if I was, I'd go by a name that sounds a little more professional and sophisticated than Rusty), but I am a PR guy by trade, so here's a bit of advice for Mr. Clemens and Miss McCready - SHUT THE F*&K UP!
If she was trying to protect him, and from her comments it certainly seems like she thinks she is trying to help, the best course of action would have been for her to say nothing. She has nothing to gain in this case and he's already boxed himself so far into a corner there's no way he's ever getting out.

This is my favorite line - and someone, anyone tell me how this helps Clemens when McCready tells the NY Daily News -
"There are legal matters working their way through the system that have nothing to do with me. From my point of view, that is where the focus should remain."
Hey genius - if you hadn't said a word and stayed barricaded in your house for a week while this part of the story blew over, the focus would have shifted back to the other issues. Would it have gone away? Of course not - but you didn't help, you made it worse, and you gave the media even more angles to dissect.

Want a case study? The NY Post tailed A-Rod last summer and had pics of him and some bimbo together everywhere - strip clubs, restaurants, hotels, the whole nine yards. They dragged the thing into a 3 or 4 day story before it died a quick death. Why did it die a quick death? Because the other woman involved refused to play into the story. She gave no comments to the press, made no appearances, she didn't try and cash in on her 15 minutes of fame. If she had, it would have given new life, and another week to the story.
Now, I have no sympathy for Clemens - I believe he did use steroids and I also believe he's in such denial over the issue that HE truly believes he didn't - but let this be a lesson to - in a lot of instances, the best public relations move you can make is to SHUT UP............and when looking for someone to cheat on your wife with - consult A-Rod.

NOTE - the Idiots do not condone cheating on spouses, we also do not condone stupid PR moves.
