A Legal Classic Spoofed, and Well

I doubt you can find a lawyer unfamiliar with the scene in the movie “A Few Good Men” in which the defense lawyer, played by Tom Cruise, grills the witness, a Marine colonel played by Jack Nicholson, over the disciplinary practices at the Marine Barracks at Guantanamo Bay.  (You know the one: “You can’t handle the truth!”)

There’s a terrific spoof of that scene over at PrawfsBlawg.  Substitute a congressman for the Tom Cruise character, 7-time Cy Young award winner Roger Clemens for the witness, and the subject of steroids and human growth hormone for discipline at the Marine Barracks, and you have a wonderfully entertaining spoof.  (Just a script, unfortunately; no actual video.)
